NEW KIT SUGGEST - Commando.

[Jaycop]

Ok, the Specops class has been debated before, and as a fan of the class I would like to post my ideas of how I would like the Specops to work/look. Ok here goes:

Specops (Recon):
-----------------

Knife
Silenced Pistol (3+1 Magazines)
Silenced M4 (7+1 Magazines)
Frag grenades (2x)
Smoke grenades (1x)
Claymores (2x)
Field dressing (1x)
Binoculars
No body armour


Specops (CQB):
-----------------

Knife
Pistol (3+1 Magazines)
M4/MP5 (7+1 Magazines)
Flashbang grenades (3x)
Smoke grenades (2x)
Field dressing (1x)
SLAM (2x)
Grappling hook
Medium body armour

Ok so here is my idea. The Recon version would be used on maps with lots of terrain (ie not city maps) for recon missons ie spotting enemy troop movements aswell as supporting other frendly infantry units in firefights and staging ambushes with the claymores.

The CQB version would be used in urban maps as an anti infantry class and for assulting enemy held buildings with flashbangs and smokes. The SLAMs would be used as a form of breaching charge (clearing blocked accesways).

For this class to work and make the players work as a team the Specops class would have to be limited to say 4 kits and requested by players in a locked squad of atleast 2 players.

This is just an idea I came up with in my attempts to give the Specops class a role in PR rather than just being a rambo wannabe class.

How about a Casey Ryback class?

So MEC are allowed to run up and rape us in FA with a G3 and were not allowed to use M4's in retaliation..? Sounds like a great plan! Like sending a helicopter pilot to the front lines without the helicopter.

Need a MacGyver class to weave a tactical-nuclear-armed macramé attack helicopter out of liana vines and snot...

I think they should change the name from spec ops to Close Quarters Specialist

The real world has no standardized usage for these arbitrary terms though. Like one fellow said earlier, submachinegun was merely a marketing decision by Thompson to make them sound better. My favorite term is assault rifle though, just because almost no military actually uses it (it was after all coined by Hitler to convince his soldiers that they were actually going to be on the offensive).

So I say don't quibble about whether something is technically a SMG/MP/AR/MBR/SAW/GPMG/BUG/whatever. There's too much gray area and it's mostly a waste of time.
