I plan on playing infiltrator the most, but also plan to put many hours in engineer.

Although, that's all subject to change once I get in an start playing.

I will be laying mines, sniping and driving a tank.
This mean switching between Engineer and Infiltrator.
Or do your mines disappear if you switch from Engineer to Infiltrator?

Also we need more classes:
- Cameraman - you will be unarmed, but you will be able to stream
- Driver - only a Driver can drive a tank or aircraft, has a pistol and a repair set
- Infiltrator can be split in Ninja and Sniper
- Diver - you walk around in scuba gear; it won't do anything because no water map

Right now without playing the beta i feel like i will like my classes i mostly play in order of preference. (because i end up being a jack of all trades in every game) will be:

1: Infiltrator = Because i just really like the whole recon, stealth, rogue style gameplay. Hit the point of least resistance. Also the whole fact that if they do it right recon will be extremely important in this game for giving your team a heads up and hacking things so they can gain entry to bases etc.

2: Medic = because you can never have enough medics and i love being helpful to my team.

3: Engineer = Because i know there will be a lot of need to defend certain positions. And plus they now get to carry the ammo boxes which makes them even more helpful. Honestly its a toss up between this and HA for my third choice because theres gonna be a huge amount of vehicles too, but since i plan to mostly focus on infantry and not vehicles i guess engineer is the best choice. Plus they get AV mines too i think so thats good enough.

I think you guys can take a stab at what I'll be playing. Sure, it's sweet to have a nice KDR, but for some of us the same can be said about keeping your teammates up and in the battle. It's nice knowing you're an integral and appreciated part of the war effort.

Also, this guy doesn't heal from behind the line. Get right up there - in the the thick of it! Throwing out heals, firing off lead, and moving the mud. That's how we get things done. Heals? Yeah, we've got those.

HA, I don't like to sit in the back of the fight and watch from afar. I prefer to lead the way.

If there's a meaningful role for the LA within my outfit and I'm good at it, I'll probably do that.

Re: What's your favorite class? Why?


I'd have to actually, you know, PLAY THE GAME to see what my favorite class is.

I -theorize- that I'll be playing inf for the first few months, until people figure out all the sneaky strategies and such, then switch to light assault or engineer.

Like I said though, I haven't played the game, so I can't say for sure. Maybe I'll play and find out that I like X class more than Y class.

In PS1 I like playing the shock trooper. HA,AV,Expert Hack,Med,Eng,Mozzie. Drop on top level, preferably with 1 to 3 more, and create a second front which will allow allies to push further up in the case of a tower, or clear the top so they can safely push down in the case of a base. Another thing I like doing is small-scale resource denial. On dropship centers I'll camp the air pad. Just a few minutes ago I managed to deny about 10 aircraft from spawning at a contested base by killing their prospective pilots, and that was just by myself.

I just love the feeling of creating large effects as a single individual in agile armor. I don't think I'll be able to get that again in PS2 frankly. Light assault might partially yield the maneuverability, but it won't yield the firepower.
