So? Just because you don’t have the issue doesn’t mean it magically a skill issue or not a problem in general now
I’m just saying I’m on console and I’ve managed to get a few perfect kills with the commando, and I don’t find it weak. It could be an issue with your aim perhaps?
Couldn’t agree more. I would love to see a select fire for single shot, precision firing.

The commando was in the flight without doubt a very overpowered rifle but it seems besides the slight damage nerf they seem to have nerfed bouth precision and aim assist with it… i really dont see a reason to switch it out

When there’s a large majority of people who are also expressing the same thoughts it seems more likely to be something with the core gun. Especially when I can consistently hit my headshot with guns like stalker rifle and the sniper which should have a skill gap due to their high damage single shot nature. The commando can be strong, but it’s inconsistent especially when firing it at full auto, which should be it’s intended fire mode
I feel like they have. It seems to have next to no aim assist, which some player might be fine with, but I don’t think the commando can stand up to any other gun from close to long range, unless the user is extremely skilled
Of course I’m not saying I have perfect aim, far from it in fact, the gun is just very rough to use with little pay of for using compared to the competition. A bad combination of bloom, recoil, and other meta weapon just leaves the commando as that gun you’ll pick, but most likely replace for the majority of the other weapons in the same box,
They should increase both damage output as well as magazine size

Yes you’ve said your point around 10 times in response to multiple people. In my first post I even agreed and said that the Commando can be outplayed by the AR and BR in most situations:
My point is a buff isn’t going to be the solution, the Commando already annihilates when it wants to. Regardless of your platform of choice.
I haven’t said a buff is what it needs, I have agreed to people point about buffing as a potential fix and a buff, especially to its mag size will help it feel more consistent but a gun that only seemingly feels good half the time, isn’t the kind of gun I’d look for when wanting to fight people at close to mid-far where the majority of battles will take place.
I feel like it it’s currently tuned to an unnecessary level of precision when compared to the BR, which would be fine if the recoil was more manageable on controller. My main gripe with it is getting outside by an AR at range, that shouldn’t be happened and is more an issue of AR being viable at longer ranges when it really shouldn’t.

Having bloom, recoil and low aim assist makes it hard to aim on controller when trying to do micro movements so I miss a lot of times.

Exactly. It obviously meant to be a long range alternative for the ar, but a AR and sidekick can still consistently outgun it with two equally skilled player’s, especially since micro movement make you miss half the tiny mag
When there’s a large majority of people who are also expressing the same thoughts…
It is impossible for anyone on this forum to make an informed determination of what the majority of people think about this game. Forum posts and tweets etc are not a representative sample of Halo players. I like the Commando a lot (play with Xbox controller on Xbox btw, as previously mentioned), and I would never bother making a topic about how much I like the weapon. However, those of you who have complaints about it are making posts left-and-right. It’s human nature. The people who have a complaint to voice are going to be louder than the people who are content.
I’m not claiming that one opinion or the other is the more prevalent one. I’m only saying you have no good way to determine what the majority opinion is. It’s better to just make your points about the issue at hand. Don’t try to claim you’re in the majority or not. It’s not clear. There are plenty of people that think the Commando is a really fun weapon.
I’m on kbm and I personally love the Commando. It works like a DMR with good fire rate and decent dmg. I’ve been able to use it better at mid-to-long range and is more accurate when you pace your shots and not just auto the thing
For what it’s worth, in competitive (Diamond) I have neither gotten a kill with it (tried a few times, it was clearly outclassed by BR in the situations I was in), nor been killed with it as far as I’m aware. It doesn’t seem to be particularly viable compared to BR.

Dual smh on halo 2 most definitely had recoil

I think they should revert the nerf. It was already harder to use than the BR but if you could get good at it you were definitely rewarded. Didn’t need the nerf in my opinion. It was good before, now it just feels fine.

The majority of people in this post is what I’m referring to and a few dozen people I’ve asked for some outside opinion
Same here, I’ve played, maybe 20 rank matches so far and I don’t think I’ve been killed by it, it always a shame when you see it on a rack, instead of something else, a Mangler for example
