To start off this has been a great release overall and I want to thank the Devs for their hard work in making this possible and I’m happy that I got to be one of the few that got invited to try this out with that being said:
The commando is absolutely useless and frankly the AR is better than this gun so I don’t understand why it is being put up with the BR and sometimes even replacing it? It is useless for these reasons:
It has an incredibly low magazine meaning you need to hit nearly all your shots vs the BR magazine allowing you to miss multiple burst and still be able to kill your target
Its recoil is a pain in the -Yoink- to handle making it hard to use on top of the immense practice you need just to get slightly used to handling this thing
This is touching on another topic later, but with the bots having almost perfect aim with the pistols when they see you it makes zooming in only viable for about 3 seconds until someone’s hits you with a pistol forcing you out of aiming down your sights this ruins any long range potential the gun could have (this is also a problem with the sniper) and with the low bullet magnetism and low aim assist this makes this gun an absolute chore to use.
If it is hard to aim this on bots imagine how difficult it will be on players
What do you guys think have y’all had these issues? or no? I’m mostly just frustrated as sometimes you are forced to use this gun instead of having a BR and a commando and this gun is ridiculously underpowered ATM
i think it serves its purpose well its a high damage ar a larger mag size would just cannibalize the standard ar plus the game is meant to be a competitive shooter so of course recoil takes work its meant to be learned

but the damage is barely higher than the ARs damage when you factor in the fire rates and it only has 20 bullets, if the damage was higher I would agree with this point but it is just not worth it for a weapon pick up the advantage of a BR vs an AR is range the commandos advantage over the AR should be either in range or damage but it does not offer an advantage in either of these.

rainbow six siege? csgo? valorant? learn to drag your mouse down or counter with a thumbstick its half the game a gun shouldnt be easy to use just to be easy to use then the game just becomes dull and casual
I somewhat agree I can’t find the sweet spot with this weapon mostly when I’m firing its from hip. Its an absolute pain trying shooting/killing anything when zoomed in.
+Its really bad for close quarters, some what good at mid range and just terrible for long range is what I’ve found so far using it.

I had issues at first, but my aim stabilized. I think the weapon serves a good purpose for starting. Infinite has plenty of meaningful weapons to use after you spawn within a short period of time anyways.

These are incredibly different games from halo though their not even respawn gametypes and most of the emphasis on killing relies on primarily the first bullets you hit while in halo you have to consistently hit your shots throughout a gunfight. and to my knowledge idk if halo’s had a strong recoil control weapon before like the commando.
It’s possible you’re using it wrong. Are you playing on PC or Console?
I’m on PC and the Commando is my favourite weapon so far. Try using it as a semi auto rifle instead. Makes the recoil far more manageable and you should be able to get 3-4 kills with one mag.

console from what people have been saying its godlike on PC

I agree. I dont know how it is with a controller but with a mouse the recoil is so easy, only going down in a straight line.
I think the gun just takes getting use too as i use it and feel like its op just absolutely shreads people but will be more interesting to see what its like with other players as the bots are pretty predictable at the moment
I’m gonna be honest I think it’s a bit redundant. AR is better close range, BR is better mid-long range so I don’t really know why it exists. That being said this is just a first impression against bots. I don’t really have a concrete opinion on it until the game is actually out but so far I’m confused by it.

except it has accuracy while ar doesnt allowing for consistent headshots

I’m playing on console as well and after a few matches I had no issues getting constantly kills with it.
Maybe your aiming is a bit off?
I had to tinker around in the controller settings until I found the right sensitivity to get along.
