What roles will you be playing regarding the PCG list?

[SuperMorto]

We have:

Battle Medic
New Recruit Trainer
ATV Fast Recon
Transport Pilot
Tank Driver
Communication Officer
Night Ops
Patrol Leader
Defensive Engineer
Base Defence Chief
Fighter Pilot
Wall Hopping Assaulter
Cloaking Sniper

Of course you are not limited to the list above!

I myself am thinking of starting a new Outfit for the Warner/Euro Server called Bomber Command. As you guessed this will be flight, but not limited to it. I was maybe thinking of going for cloakers and Maxes as well.

Of course I'm a part of Azure Twilight which is a fantastic outfit, if I stay with them I can see us doing the AT things like gal drops and max crashes!



Your thoughts on what roles you will be taking in Planetside2?

[LZachariah]

I get the impression that those specific names were examples of how you could tailor any class to a very specific role, based on certs, specializations, sidegrades, upgrades, and Implants. So, it doesn't mean that those are explicitly named-out in the game, but that they really are "roles" that you can "craft" for yourself.

As for myself, I intend to Class myself as a Vanu Engineer, and pour a mountain of points into the tactical explosives; remote-detonated, anti-personnel (claymore/bouncing-betty-style), anti-vehicular, tactical explosives (any trap-based explosives, like MW3's "care-package-trap"). However, I'm also going to pour points into having a completely riotously specced-out Pulsar Carbine, so I am very capable in close- to mid-range combat. I will unlock/sidegrade lots of options to increase how many explosives I can carry at once. Beyond that, I will throw a healthy splash of points into being a Scythe pilot and a Leader.

So, my personal class could be called: "Combat Demolitions" or "Special Forces"

Other people?

Can you add:
AFK in the CC
AFK Reading the map
Corpse


jus joking

I honestly don't know.
Probably heavy assault. I never using maxes in ps1 and can never dogfight. But if the speeding up is too fast for me to cope reasonably well then maybe cloaker.

Ever since I played BF1942/Desert Combat competitively, I've always been obsessed with Anti-Air. Just the feeling of looking up at the sky, finding that cocky little hotshot bastard, and sending his desperately flailing arse to the ground makes me smile.

I'm just hoping that, unlike the BF series, there's not going to be a drastic increase it the amount of 'guided AA'. Because honestly, after BF:V, AA in the series is on the verge of uselessness.

[Hmr85]

I'll be playing Heavy Assualt (Rexo) / Armored Vanguard driver / Spec ops. With the occasional Pilot ( Reaver squadron). One of those.

[ThGlump]

I was always AV specialist and that wont change in ps2. Everything that move and have more armor than a rexo will meet my lancer.

[DOUBLEXBAUGH]

HA/Reaver like PS1, and now that PS2 has BR40 and Driver = gunner, I'll pull a Tank now and then.

[DayOne]

I'm probably going for night Ops/Generic light assault. I was always AV in PS1 and while *whee-PEW* *BOOM* was always fun I look forward to sneaking about in the night time predator style.

[captainbaka]

hopefully an air to ground reaver pilot if thats possible, and also a vangaurd driver. no infantry for me :P.

[Forsaken One]

I'll be a AoE/Explosive specialist.

If It explodes, cause's AoE damage, or just overall screams Area of Denial I'll be it.


From boomer filled ATV riding to firing flaks at air to setting the enemies mother on fire after placing her in the middle of a mine field as bait for the enemy.

[AncientVanu]

This thread would have been more informative if it was a poll. It would have been easier to see the distributions of roles.

I'll point out what I'm generally good at but probably will have to do different roles as well. Sniper and fighter (multi-role) pilot.

[Bags]

I don't think those are "classes" or specializations so much as a play style you could pursue.

What would Communication Officer do?

I was also thinking that. I really am not sure. Perhaps global chat will be a very specific tree branch that not many people will want to invest in. Thus, the best way to spread the word about things is to ask one of those people to /comall the message for you.
