No “Commando” Perk in Modern Warfare 3, Says Bowling

Published on July 28, 2011, by Bryce Wilson - Posted in Main, Misc, News 17

Everyone’s favorite bald guy and Creative Strategist, Robert Bowling, recently replied to a tweet and confirmed that everyone’s least favorite and rage inducing perk, ‘Commando’, will not be making an appearance in the upcoming Modern Warfare 3.

When replying to a Twitter user who asked about the future of melee within Modern Warfare 3, Bowling replied:

“Its been balanced, plus Commando is no longer in the game. Beyond that, you’ll have to wait and see.”

To me this is great news, and I know many other gamers share the same sentiment. Getting knifed from 100 feet away is not a pleasant experience.

I am so excited. I'm glad to see they're listening to the community.

Good, no more bullshit cross-room knife deaths. Have to wait and see how to rest of the game turns out.

Finally the era of lock-on knifers will be over

Bob Barker has one last thing to say about the Commando perk:

Wonder if they are doing the Black Ops fix, by not having the perk, but basically giving it to everyone.

Infinity ward is doing something we want? is anyone else in complete shock?

Commando is one that will be sorely missed by many of the Call of Duty Elitists (see what I did there), I personally am wondering what ridiculous perks they are going to add in to the game to replace the ridiculous ones they removed. Or maybe it will actually be balanced this time.... ahahahaa sorry I couldn't keep a straight face writing that!!!

knowing cod there still might be those knifing kills where the guy gets lit up and than knifes you which only seems to happen to people who cheat or talk crap bout every person that kills them

Hope they don't hack the game and make a commando perk. But this is great news for CoD players.

Well, now I'm definitely not buying this. Whats that point of playing if you can't run around not wearing underwear?

Finally. Something is done right for MW3. But alas it is only one change.
