Jus read a post about the ppl who think their will be too many pilots.... I'm just curious as to what roles everyone want to play.....

ph33r the battle engin33r baby. I don't need any of that stealth crap just gimme a good gun and an ACE. The rest of my certs will prolly go into the buggys and some hacking.

The problem with your poll is that the specification of a character decreases with rank. Supposedly, towards battle rank 20, a character can be a standard infantryman, an engineer, a medic and a hacker.

In other words, down the line, it'll narrow down to a vehicle guy, a stealth guy, an infantryman, and a MAX pilot, and mixes between these general groups.

I really agree w/ flacon. I like this role becuase no one wants to be it but, w/ out the cleric/healer/medic type in games, where would you be ?

CyricMoonblade
2003-02-10, 03:31 PM
The gist here zooloo was PRIMARY role :D I do mean when ppl first start playing what they DESIRE to do.... dosn't mean most of them will though...

I'm betting at the beginning there will be only a few pure infantrymen, who will simply cream other low battle rank players with a variety of weaponry.

After that, people who play medic/engineer/hacker will realize that unless they are doing a stealth version of that role, they need to be infantrymen also (along with their abilities).

well, i said pilot since i plan on going for the reaver/galaxy right off then get as many tanks as possible.... So in the end I am going to use more certs on tanks, but my 1st obj is going to be going towards pilot...

And what do you think about ... Infiltrating into an enemy facilitie ... Go to he�s main computers ... Take control of their own towers and ... Shoot their units ? LOL , i am not sure if the hacker can do that ... But i think it�s going to be a cool class :D

I want to be a tank driver too. Since I couldn't mark both tank driver and MAX, I chose MAX. I'll have to see which one I like better.

Whats your precious Age of Kings neglected to mention was, William Wallace was captured, and hung for treason against England. Why do you think Scotland and England aren't different countries today?

Either commander or medic for me, or a small squad commander with medic abilities =)

I love the Engineer role because I like being devious and setting up traps for my hapless enemies to stumble upon. My comp is my hobby and I'm always tinkering with it, swaping parts, changing out drives, adding new stuff, so the repair/fixing part of the engineer goes great with me. Besides support is the backbone of any military. So here's a shout to all of you people who are going for the support roles and or the mixes of, like engineer/grunt.

Just know you can't do that with an infiltration suit, as the infiltration suit has no rifle slot.

why is that diego? you are given 4 character slots so you can build up 4 different characters that can help out your outfit at different times, and for different reasons.

SandTrout
2003-02-11, 04:26 PM
Advanced scout, but not sniper. Someone has to do recon.

LesserShade
2003-02-11, 04:34 PM
I had originally planned on going recon/hacker... but it looks like 90% of the people in my outfit so far are going to want to do just that, so I'll end up going pilot or infantry, whatever best suits the outfit.

I'm one of those people that has to do everything in a game to have fun.. so i'll have numerous characters for sure

Fire_Monkey
2003-02-11, 05:48 PM
Recon just dounds boring to me, BTW there is not an advanced sniping cert Frost

Glytch, if you don't know who ABRAXAAS is, you can't ask me why I say that.

Anyone that would choose to follow him, as being a commander, is retarded. Read up on who ABRAXAAS is, then come back to me.

i happen to be the LEADER of ABRAXAAS' clan. So Don't tell me that i dont know him. Have you seen him in battle? Do you know what sort of hell he can unleash? Anything besides these forums, were he posts cuz hes bored as hell at work and hes excited for PS???

Until you have seen him on the field of battle then dont be say shit about AB, or his ability to command

Right..

I don't know what kind of "hell" he could unleash on a game that isn't released, and if your talking about some other game, bring it.

10 to 1 I will own Ab in any other game he plays. (Providing I own the game.)

And example would be Counter-Strike. Whenever your ready, give me a shout..

Flameseeker :

Why do you think Scotland and England aren't different countries today?

Umm, they are! They are different countries belonging to the union of the United Kingdom, as detailed in the Act of Union 1706.

United Kingdom, union of countries England & Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland.

Scotland, a member nation of the British mainland and surrounding islands making up the land and sea mass known as the British Isles, including England, Wales, Scotland and neighbouring islands (Shetland, Inner outer Hebrides, Isle of Mann, Isle of Wight) but not Ireland.

Scotland can be considered the last British colony if you like, still seeking its independance.

In the same manner to America when under British rule, it was still a country in its own right, even though it was yet to claim its independance...

See ya in the game, where you can't hide behind your ridiculous rhetoric.

ey congrats to those who picked out the standard infantry!
Those are the ones you'll need 5 times as much as a hacker AT LEAST and 10 times more then a pilot, pilots think a bit to large i guess, you guys really think you'll be having the luck to transport guys to the middle of battle every second? NOT! The standard infantry doesn't have to wait, can easily defend the base, MUST escort a hacker to other facilities, ETC!
Standard infantry, that's what i choose!
Dont forget an infiltration team would be about
6 soldiers, 2 hackers possibly a medic and maybe
a MAX just for confusion i guess!

(i think...)

2003-03-18, 06:34 PM
lol its funny, medics are so underrated, ppl think they only need 1 or 2 medics per squad, I mean get a medic/infantry guy to help also, what if ur one medic dies?
then U will need a medic to heal him and you are 2 again. I think u will need about 4 in a squad, considering playing RtCW, where u will have about 60 percent of your people in your team being medics, this will take MUCH MUCH MORE time to respawn, you will need medics in the heat of the battle to heal ur team.
Medics will be most important;) IMO
