What's your favorite class? Why?

Hey everyone. I am wondering about what class people want to play as in Planetside 2 and why. My favorite class will be the Combat Medic. Because I usually enjoy the role of helping my fellow soldiers, I will keep TR soldiers alive at any cost!

Infiltrator for sure. I always play recon/rogue/stealthy types when I can in multiplayer games. I don't even care if they have sniper rifles or not.

I love playing as an Angry Vet.

If I ever die, I can blame it on these newfangled mechanics.

I often play medic, but mainly because its needed, most people don't want to play one and I like being in control.

However if there was already a kickass medic on the team, I would play MAX or HA and bust heads.

I typically play as a medic. I can't really say what I'll play as here until I have a chance to play out the different roles. Medic will be my starting point for now though.

Light assault..I think it will be challenging with an underpowered inaccurate carbine and paper thin armor.

Engineer. When my ass is not in a Vanguard, it is to repair it, repair someone else, or to lend a supporting hand. When I'm doing no vehicle ops, I'll probably still be an Engineer.

Medic or engineer most likely. I get a warm fuzzy feeling when my support turns a battle in our favor.

light assault-they look like they take alot of skill but i want to ROFLcopter over the heads of vanu maxes while emptying a clip-full of headshots

I like light assault because you don't have to worry about ammo and the jetpack is going to be nice to have.

SgtExo · 2012-07-11, 01:20 PM

Whatever I feel like/most usefull at the moment.

LA doesn't have ammo packs anymore. That's now one of the Engineer's jobs.

I primarily played a combination of HA/Engineer back in my day, with a buggy cert. We'll have to see what feels most comfortable, but I'll probably end up primarily playing Engineer. LA does look really cool and unique, though.

I'm usually the support role in any game I play, so I'll be Engineer primarily and a Infiltrator every now n then. I love setting my friends up for kill streaks. Vehicle wise, I'll be a Galaxy pilot and a Lightning jockey.

I haven't played yet, so I dont know

Maybe HA, maybe medic, maybe engineer. Light assault doesn't appeal to me it seems.

Get me in a Prowler!

Can't really say favorite without actually playing as any of them yet, but I'd say that Light Assault will probably be my favorite. For one thing, it makes a lot of sense for bailing out of aicraft, which I intend to spend a lot of time fighting, and for another thing, I'd rather use maneuverability and attack from odd locations than have a lot of armor.

So I'll probably be playing LA for the same reasons I'll be flying a Scythe. I'd rather swoop in, do some damage, then get the fuck out of dodge, rather than sit around and brawl it out as a tank or MAX or HA.

That, and I'm just not mentally geared much towards support roles, although the engi does look like it could be quite a bit of fun.
