The Terminator references were quite funny I guess.

The drops are disappointing. They're non-inscribable nonmax.

(April Fools! , I wasn't being serious.)

It was fun. I don't know if the Commando will be a real class in GW2 though.

Let's hope not. IMO, thats a completely retarded idea. It's bad enough they have pistols.

As much as I enjoyed it, it looks so out of place that it can't be real. My favorite video was the Night vision where he smashes the charr's face with the butt of the gun. Hilarious!

Skyy High- Even after 250 years I don't think they'd be able to make HELICOPTERS. Maybe some magic powered aircraft. But not a helicopter. It's only for april fools, it's not a real class. read the description they say that they have weapons which do not exist

Exactly, no one is gonna make you use guns. There is absolutely no way it can subtract from your fun. The Asura have giant robots but the idea of guns concerns you? Lmao.

On topic. Best. Update. EVER! I hope they keep the Corporal there, it was sooooooo much fun.

And /signed on the riot shield skin!

Skyy High - You don't go from swinging swords and using magic then 250 years later, helicopters and missile support. The original GW was around the 1300s to about the 1500s, so add 250 to 1500, that puts us at around the time of the American Revolution. No missiles or helicopters or planes of any kind.

Just cannons, and muskets. However, my guess is the commando is just a modified skin for the real class that is going to be taking its place. Would be kind of cool if you could unlock the commando skin as an aesthetic in the game though.

I don't think he is talking about the commando (I wasn't either). People are complaining about the use of any guns in GW2 and I think he was simply stating what you just said, after 250 years it is only natural they would have the muskets and flint lock pistols in GW2, yet for some reason people complain about it like they shouldn't exist. If anybody actually believes that they will have helicopters, assault rifles, and predator missiles....well they just need help. Lol

Lighten up. It's not that serious.

I highly doubt the commando class will be put in (and if it is, not as that name). Seeing how the race-specific stuff can summon hounds of balthazar, unless Apaches (likely placeholder skin anyway) or whatever else they add is going to do big damage it won't be broken.

Sniper shot is already on Bows/Rifles. Stealth are on thieves and grenades too.
