What's your Role?

[Senyu]

Tossing a poll, lets get some first impression numbers so we can were things stand

Which type of role do you think will be your main use?

EDIT: For regards of Light and Heavy Infantry, it just assumes your going to focus on doing damage, not adding possible medic or say engineer with it unless you pick both options. And sniping is in infiltration for this poll so please bear with me on that.

Due to early morning I have forgotten myself and have not posted MAX. I have sinned for this tragedy and ask people to bear with me on this.

[xSlideShow]

Light Assault/Medic/Heavy Assault depending what I'm feeling at the time.

You forgot max bro.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[CrystalViolet]

mix of flying and support. If I get bored of that. Infil is always a fun diversion.

[Xyntech]

I voted Aircraft, because I love flying in games, both when it's a simplistic flight model like in Planetside 1, or when it's a more complex flight model like a flight simulator.

Given the range of in game flying that I enjoy, I can't imagine that I won't love flying in PS2 unless the flying is terrible, which I have full confidence that the devs will avoid.

If it's not flying that I mainly do, I'm not sure what. In addition to flying, I plan to do a little bit of everything. How much of what will depend on my experience playing them, although Light Assault, cloaker, sniper, engi and tank driver all sound pretty appealing right now.

[Shogun]

in ps1 i was engineer, medic, hacker, ams driver and sometimes aa max.

total ground support.
in ps2 engineer skills will be the first in my queue. don´t know how how the limitations of the class system will affect my choices. if i can, i will go for my old role again.

[Canaris]

Infantry sir!, made me the man I am today ;)

[Aurmanite]

I drove a Prowler for 2 years straight. I started off making a character specifically to drive a Lightning, which ended up becoming my main. Eventually I was able navigate roads using only the minimap. This enabled me to track a target at any position around me and keep mobile. I blew quite a few lazy reaver pilots outta the sky who followed me in a straight line while I drove forward at full speed.

Now that I get to gun while driving, it's gonna be a sad day for enemy armor and infantry. Mowin and blastin. If you ain't red, you're dead.

[Tikuto]

Either Engineer or I Don't Know.

I know the Engineers are the ones who ought to make your Empire invincible, and so I shall be invincible! :borg:

: "Reinforce our base!"

[Death2All]

Most likely Heavy/Light Infantry, depending on how they play. Aircraft on the side as well.

[Xyntech]

I like how Aircraft was way up in the pole early on, then fell more in line with some of the other categories.

Rapid response, still alive and well.

[acosmo]

if it requires more than one person to use effectively, and has a lot of hitpoints i will most likely be its driver or pilot.

[Captain1nsaneo]

I voted for everything except don't know. I played all the roles in PS and I plan to play them all again.

[SniperSteve]

I voted I don't know. Traditionally I played light infantry/rapid response. They may or may not change. All I know is that I will use whatever 'twitch' gameplay I have left in me.

[Hamma]

I voted aircraft and infantry - I'm not entirely sure what I will do this time.

[waldizzo]

i played ma/av/rexo/engi/adv. hack/prowler/ams in ps1 but have enjoyed playing medic in both bfbc2 and bf3 so i'll probably try to build up medic skills first this time.

[LongBow]

Aircraft / engineer - I'll be flying galaxies and Mossie's mostly, but keeping some engineering for when there is a roof over my head or bullet holes in my wind shield!

[Erendil]

I selected every role except for Infil. Unless DARK has a specific role requirement for me when running ops I will be playing pretty much every role (often determined by what I feel my empire needs at the time) except for Cloaker and sniper, although I may snipe more depending on how many enemy snipers we have to deal with. :p

I'll spend a lot of time on quick response, Air Cav, and solo tanking (I'm still leaning towards the Lightning rather than the Mag for PS2 depending on how much both have changed from PS1). I'll also do a lot of grunting, but which class I use will depend on the specific capabilities of the different classes. I will be a rifleman though, as opposed to using the Lasher or providing SAW/LMG fire support.

Depending on what MAX special ability VS MAXes have I may or may not use them very much.

[Johari]

Well for my outfit it was a requirement to have Adv Medic so I got to enjoy rezzing & being rezzed. While my outfit was traditionally Air oriented, I was one of the Rexo/MAX units dropping out of the Gal to wreck enemy forces. I was also one of the Sundy/tankers so I selected air/ground vehic/heavy assault/medic. Good old groundpounder here.

[Rivenshield]

Whatever else I might do, I'll be certed for combat engie. And so will any other TR worth their salt. And everywhere we go we'll create a creeping separatist-eating black hole of a minefield, as it ever was of old....

[SKYeXile]

Aircraft and whatever sort of infantry i find the most effective for me, probably heavy, germ it up with a thumper and MA or something equally gay in true SKYeXile style.

[Bittermen]

Hmm I don't really know. In BF3 I usually go Assault/Medic... Supporting/Defensive.

[Khellendros]

In PS1 I was a bitching lib pilot, both bombing and commando, and played fast response. So barring any strong negatives in the flying system in PS2, I see myself in the air a lot.

[Senyu]

Dam, we got alot of pilots. Skies are gona be full

[SKYeXile]

Dam, we got alot of pilots. Skies are gona be full

oh no they wont. :)

[xSlideShow]

I think I might also want to run a gun ship. If they do it right, it'll be a lot of fun. Which I think they'll do it right. Will of course have a Scythe but that goes without saying... Ima basically be doing every roll. Cause, I's a beast. But mostly gunship while I level. + Some sort of indoor infantry. With a side of Scythe.

[ShockNC]

Building a sniper/skirmish character with my secondary being a mostly a vehicle character.

[fuzzehthehydra]

I'm going to play an infil role, though I may invest in some basic vehicle skills, should the need arise.

[Raka Maru]

Stealther, hacker, engie.

Usually play everything, but these are my favorites.

[Canaris]

oh no they wont. :)

yeah everyone knows Vanu and NC can't fly ...... oh yes I did :D

[Xyntech]

yeah everyone knows Vanu and NC can't fly ...... oh yes I did :D

TR know how to fly? Well damn, why don't they ever show it? :groovy:

So 24 votes for aircraft right now. Divide that by three, multiply by 2. Looks like I've got about 18 targets in this thread.

[NivexQ]

Infantry sir!, made me the man I am today ;)

Love the starship troopers reference


I like to think ill be in the air half the time and cloaking the other half, but that may change

[FastAndFree]

I'll be in the air half the time and burning alive inside a twisted metal wreck the other half

This reminds me of the best idea ever - respawn pills!
Remember people, pop the cyanide before you hit the ground

[GuvNuh]

Think i'm going to play around with the classes a bit, but i'll probably settle on ground piloting with either some maxness or a splattering of assault.

[MgFalcon]

I chose Light Infantry, I would have picked Command/Leadership but it wasn't on there. I'll probably dabble into Air for a bit to see how the Scythe is... cause any VS that hasn't even been in one of those things of beauty is playing VS wrong haha!

[SuperMorto]

Swiss = http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/HK_Food_Swiss_Roll_Saint_Honore_Cake.JPG

Only kidding haters! :)

I chose other as you didn't have a max unit. But im talking PS1 here, in PS2, im not sure what I will be doing, but then again this thread is a little like my "how will you eat yours" thread. And I mentioned taking more of a commanding role.

[GuvNuh]

Planetside taught me my command limits. I'm good keeping 1-2 squads on target, moving fast, and working together. Past that i get too scatterbrained trying to manage every little detail crap inevitably slips on me. So yeah, i'll also be taking some command, just not going to focus on it.

Gotta train, assign and trust your officers, general.

[Kouza]

LOL at the top two.... Planetside one players.. fo sho :)

[ArmaGetItOn]

I see aircraft was winning until I voted for heavy infantry to tie it, I'm glad :) More targets for our strikers.

Pray that the people on the ground under you isn't my outfit.

[Alaska]

I'd love to pick up a sniper rifle for awhile, get really good with it. Definitely can't wait to see what my outfit decides to specializes in.

[Erendil]

So 24 votes for aircraft right now. Divide that by three, multiply by 2. Looks like I've got about 18 targets in this thread.

18 easy targets, u mean... :cool:

Yeah I keep staring at that latest pic of the Scythe and I can't stop thinking, "Damn, I get to actually fly that thing in game....." :D

I won't be missing the Mossie or Reaver one bit... ;)

Gotta train, assign and trust your officers, general.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing. That's what your officers and SL's are for. Commanders shouldn't have to sweat the small stuff. :cool:

LOL at the top two.... Planetside one players.. fo sho :)

No doubt. I wonder how many of them will stop using Air Cav once they get a taste of the new flight mechanics...
