Arena.Net has revealed the next playable class for Guild Wars 2. The Commando's credo is "If it can bleed, I can kill it" and the class is a much more modern interpretation than most would have expected. In addition to some nice artwork showing off the Commando's unique look, the team has fleshed out some of the lore behind the class.
A master of the battlefield, this elite soldier is equally at home on the mean streets of Lion's Arch, in the steamy Maguuma Jungle, or on the Orrian front. The multi-role commando is a combat medic, an infiltrator, and a tank. By land, sea, or air, the commando is a technological force to be reckoned with. Come get some.
Commandos have several different special skill types:
Grenades—Sometimes you need to kill a whole lot of tangos—fast. Grenades enable the commando to perform area-of-effect attacks with a variety of devastating results. From flashbangs that blind enemies to shrapnel bombs that apply bleeding, the commando has a grenade for every occasion.

Arenanet went even further, look at their GW1 facebook page:
To coincide with the most recent Guild Wars 2 profession reveal – the commando – we've added a new quest that allows you to step into the combat boots of these veterans for a sneak peak at how they will play in Guild Wars 2. Head to Embark Beach and speak with Corporal Bane – you can't miss him! Read the full list of today's game updates on the website! http://guildwars.com/support/g

I wish they would release this class and a PvP arena as a standalone demo.
Oh dear God, watch the skill videos. They're absolutely epic.
If they actually did this, I would be there on launch day. I would even break my "no pre-order" rule. Such a shame.

I'm planning to build the scepter wielding commando. Probably will take the APC mount so my necro buddy can use the corrupted headlights ability.
Snipe and bunker building sound OP for PVP.
