> "I’ll do you one better, WHY is the Commando?"
Ok but seriously, I’m having a hard time understanding this weapon’s purpose in the sandbox…
- How does it compare to the AR and BR? - How does it’s kill-time compare to the BR on mid-long ranges? Does one of them make the other one pointless? How do they compare on shorter ranges? - Is it a semi power-weapon? Like a replacement for the saw but instead of focusing on general power it goes for ranged automatic with same damage (ish) as AR? Or does it give way less damage than the AR but has further range in exchange to make them equal ish?It seems like a commonly used weapon in Infinite but it looks super boring and generic to use, along with a pretty boring design imo.
Unfortunately it seems to me (at the moment) that this weapon is more or less (and excuse my terminology) the “noobweapon” of infinite. A general thoughtless spraying weapon for all ranges, I fear it might be destructive for Halo’s sandbox. I hope I’m wrong.
Would you agree? And do you have any theories/answers for these questions?
I imagine it’s a full-auto BR style weapon with a slow rate of fire but hard hitting. It’ll most likely be ground loot only and take a while to respawn similar to the rocket launcher and sniper. Look’s fun though.
I agree, it seems a bit generic and it feels a bit out of place to me. It looks like it kills kind of quick, so it might fit that semi-power weapon role. I don’t get particularly excited whenever I see it, but I hope it ends up being a nice addition to the sandbox.

Maybe, but idk, it looks like it’s easier to hit shots with this than it is with the AR and BR.
If it’s treated like a semi-power weapon, and like you said would be relatively uncommon it wouldn’t be too much of a bother, I just got the feeling from the videos that it is considered as a regular primary-ish type of weapon, but idk.
It looks like it will be competitively viable. Wish it looked cooler

Well if you noticed any of the gameplay featuring the AR that thing seems to drop people in like 10 bullets. So I find it hard to imagine the commando will beat an AR up-close. It’s rate of fire also makes it hard to imagine it’ll beat a BR at range. So I have a good feeling my original guess will be on point.
It looks like a weapon with a high recoil, as you see the reticle constsntly adjusted in fire. With that in mind and it being full auto, i dont see it being a far range weapon. Maybe moderst

You might be right, I hope it fits in.
I hope it is a primary mid range gun. That would be a dream come true for me. I have always wanted to use an auto rifle since I started using the BR for better range and control. And I can’t use an AR because it is a short range primary.
If my count during yesterday’s trailer is correct, it is a seven-shot perfect kill, similar to the Covenant Carbine. Honestly, I think it has good potential as the starting weapon for Slayer if they don’t have absurd aim assist on the gun, but it looks like we are getting AR starts again judging by today’s overview…
Times may have changed but; “commando” means not wearing underwear under your jeans/trousers.
“Tonight I am going Commando”…lol 
Thats my guess…
They should make it like the AK from rust. The recoil being hard to control but a beast if you master it, that would differentiate it from a “noob weapon” (which it does currently look like)
Might be a replacement for the DMR, haven’t seen it in any footage yet.
I have wondered this myself also. I think it looks cool and it looks like it’s fun to use, but not sure what its purpose in the sandbox is, LOL. We’ll see. Maybe kind of a lower damage but faster firing version of the DMR, with more range than a pistol, I guess.
Precision weapons are king in Halo. Every Halo post-launch devs get pants-on-head retarded about the starting weapons. The commando is a breath of fresh air in Halo weapon sandbox; an improvement. Most likely the fan favorite.

Seems like you have it all figured out, only question remaining is “why is commando?”

Oh that’s easy…without backup. You make a “mistake” its over…

I could see how that might work, similar to the scoped smg I guess with recoil, or even more recoilmaybe?(haven’t played rust), but more precise from range than the smg which would make it more primary’ish.
Tbh. I think the dmr is gone, we haven’t seen anything about it (not even a skin) so the commando could be it’s replacement
The Commando Feels like a UNSC Carbine
