Do want: NS Commissioner

OctavianAXFive · 2013-04-17, 04:26 PM

Played around with it on the test server, do want.

It's rocking out at 450 dmg at 8m right now. It's a skill cannon, not the best from the hip and totally unforgiving if you miss. But if you can handle it...

No gun is ever worth 7USD$.

But feeling like a champ might be...

Commissioner is great, I absolutely love it!

However, if you are looking for a more conventional all-round pistol (essentially a Magshot equivalent in terms of damage/refire time) for the TR like me, then you are better off with the Underboss.

after testing both, i personally like the feel of the underboss more then the commissioner...that said i would probably only use it on my LA, HA, or my engy.

Gonna stick with my repeater. Barely draw my pistol anyway.

Definitely going to give this thing a try on my infiltrator.

You are missing out. Half the TR I kill would probably have lived if they had used the Repeater instead of their spam cannons.

I do occasionally draw it when my clip runs out and I know dang well I will die if I try to reload.

I found the underboss better. Both are 3 shot kill at 30meters. Has better lower recoil, faster fire rate, quicker reload and both revolvers have same accuracy. Underboss is the 'top boss' of the 6 shooters.

But as calypso said, I might be sticking with my tx1. A pistol with 845 rof and a 21rd mag, its like I have the armistice smg as a back up all the time.

I love them both.
I think they will receive some tweaks before they are released though the underboss is the more attractive option as it stands, but hot damn the commisionar is almost as big as a carbine that itself makes me more excited then it should.

The reason I'm leaning on the Commissioner over the Underboss is that I don't see them as being that different of a gun. I main TR and so if I'm in a SNAFU, I want that Repeater. The Repeater is a superb side arm but it's awful at a range.

The Commissioner fills the niche of a ranged side arm much better. The recoil of the Underboss and Comissioner is such that the higher RoF of the Underboss is undermined by how uncontrollable it is when you spam fire. They are trying to emulate the Rex and .44 Magnum from BF3.

Both are great guns and the Rex is a little better for CQC. But for what I want, I want a magnum, which is the niche that the Commissioner fills a little better than the Underboss.

If the Repeater wasn't as good as it is, I would probably take the Underboss as my CQC weapon. But at the end of the day, the repeater is brilliant at what it's designed to do. In that case, I'm going to take the Commissioner for the niche role of ranged hand cannon. It's a great complement to classes with CQC weapons.

I just hope they can't be silenced, never truly understood how it is possible to silence some revolvers, maybe they were design for that since the conception.

they cant, at least on the test server, the only attachment you can get is a flashlight or laser sight

These guns should be interesting for the infiltrator class. I prefer the controllability of the Underboss actually.
For the other classes I'm not so sure. Maybe LA can put them to good use.

ThatGoatGuy · 2013-04-18, 09:25 AM

I'm a Dirty Harry kind of guy, so I'm gonna stick with the Commissioner. Also, Hamma, totally gonna try it lol.

Dragonskin · 2013-04-18, 09:27 AM

If they can't be silenced, which would make sense since they are revolvers, then I'm not going to be overly worried about picking them up day 1. Still on my VS having a powerful side arm instead of the manticore for any non-sneaky build would be nice and I can't get over the fact of how awesome the commissioner looks. It's like a Dirty Harry .44 magnum, but all Scifi tricked out.... gotta have it. Probably going to buy it just for looks if nothing else. At least it can be used on all factions.
