Commando (perk)

Commando is a Tier 3 perk appearing in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that increases the player's melee distance. It is possible to earn experience for the pro challenges by using the Riot Shield's melee attack as well as the regular melee knife. The Pro version completely protects the player from fall damage which can be very helpful on maps with long falls such as Quarry, Favela, Skidrow, and Underpass. Commando, when paired with Lightweight, Marathon, and a pistol with a tactical knife, you can jump and lunge at people, killing them quickly and quietly. Also, if used with Bling pro you can use a pistol with a silencer and a tactical knife, and with Cold-Blooded or Lightweight makes for a great Ninja-esque class. This is a replacement for the bayonet.

Trivia

 * The perk picture was seen in the Teaser trailer in early 2009.
 * Even with the pro version of this perk equipped, the player will still make a cracking noise when falling from a large distance.
