Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Drops The Commando Perk

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Preview

Infinity Ward made a tactical error in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 when it included a multiplayer perk called Commando that increased the lunge distance for one-hit-kill melee attacks and, in its Pro form, eliminated any damage taken from long falls. This was not a universally loved feature, especially among those who frequently fell victim to knife-focused custom classes (which is to say, all of us). For that reason, it won't be returning in Modern Warfare 3.

Robert Bowling, IW's creative strategist, confirmed the detail in a weekend tweet. He also hinted at a more "balanced" melee attack system, though that may simply be further reference to the removal of the decidedly unbalancing Commando perk.

    Oh gimme a break. Anything people get killed by makes them mad and everyone always cries "unbalanced". That's the whole idea of perks people. It's a big game of rock paper scissors......if you choose rock, then you're equipped to easily kill scissors.... but you gotta watch out for paper.
    Quit whining and play the game.

    Yes finally some progress... Blops is the worst call of duty up to date with about 80% of the kills being bs and from the back from a guy with silencer and ghost...CoD 4 felt like war!!! your team was almost always around you fighting the other team and trying to take over... Black ops is like Halo people just going around the map fighting each other in corners on 1 on 1 battles with different superpowers like lightweight, flak jacket, commando ( even though is not a perk in the game everyone has it just like juggernaut). That's the only reason i'm buying this game because they talked about it like if it was going to be CoD 4 gameplay. Everyone that joined the franchise after CoD 4 should give it a try, that game had a complete different feeling...it had a real call of duty feeling... anyone that was into CoD 4 since the beginning would say the same thing.

    the kill streaks are needed to allow people to blow sh...up. quit complaining. i read that they were going to do a money system like homefront so they will allow u to purchase things with ur earned points. thatll make it more fair for the people that have no skills

    Awe :( I know it was overpowered in Mod2 but it was fun. Mod2 wasn't really designed to be ballanced it was designed to be fun. Getting a group of friends together and quickscoping, only knifing, or (sorry to say) nube tubing with one man army was fun!

    how about if they take out last stand perk in this way:
    last stand only occurs if you are hit but not in vital areas like the head or chest, so say if you get shot in the foot until you were supposed to die triggers a last stand. It makes more sense, I've seen people online die from foot shots and I'm like "yeah right'. I was thinking if you get shot in the arms, maybe you should get crappy aim, lol.

    I can't believe you guys, girls, and/or trolls. Half of you are happy it's gone cause you're so crappy that you can't kill somebody when they're running to you. The other half is praising BF3 since BF2 wasn't good enough for Videogame Deathmach. It's a perk! That anybody can have! By eliminating it, you're eliminating the knifing class that depends on them. Now, I'm not saying that I support those people or that I used/liked that perk. But some people are just so bad at a game that they want to flame a perk that's already been deleted.
    It is gone!!! So shut-up, and play it, or BF3, cause either way, you're gonna play a lagging game, with retarded graphics, and a story that's 5 hours long.

    quit crying. COD4 had a knife kill. and it was the best balanced game to date. no lightwieght no commando, no flak jacket. yes it had juggernaut but hey at leastyou could kill them with a RPG to the chest.

    Last Stand is more/less only a son of a b*tch when they person can get revived, you should at least be able to get the kill.

    How about dropping last stand? That will make more playable.

    I wonder how many people bashing the game and praising bf3 are going to get this anyway? Its a whole different game than COD so if its your first bf game be warned you might not like the style. Notice I'm not bashing the game just giving a heads up. The only reason I got blops was because everyone I know was getting it. I'm not sure about bf3 yet but I'm less than stoked for mw3.
