Commando

Commandos wielded C4 and Sniper rifles.

Description
Forming the heart of both the Global Defense Iniative and the Brotherhood of Nod's elite forces, commandos were decently armored, but their main strength was the weapons that they carried. They wielded a half inch sniper rifle capable of taking out enemy infantry from long ranges, as well as C4. When placed on a structure, there would be a short countdown, the commando would run away, and the structure would explode.

Commandos were very powerful against structures and infantry, but the .50 caliber rifle was much less useful against vehicles, making Attack Buggies highly effective ways of dealing with commandos.

Usage
Commandos were always well known for their various non-regulation remarks, but even so, commanders often deployed them to battle zones, especially using Chinooks. This was done to move a commando from one side of a river to the other when GDI was instructed to destroy a strategic airfield, and several times by Nod forces. Owing to their stealthy tactics, Nod deployed commandos on several occasions during the First Tiberium War, using them to help recapture a Nod base in Egypt, among other things.

The most famous commando of all was Havoc.
