Depends on what corridor you take them down.

Take them down MY corridor, and you just lost 4 riflemen.

Sniper or Engie all the way.

Engie:
Shotgun's good for indoor maps
Detpack gets you out of sticky situations by being a long distance 1-hit-kill
Health/ammo for emergencies

Sniper:
Long range 1-hit-kill, good for outdoor maps
autoturret for covering your six
two grenades for use in big clusters of enemies

Lob one of em, then gun em down as they all scatter.

sniper is best by far. Once you master no scoping with it you can use it as a blaster rifle. I always snipe in bf2 because i am just awsome at it, i live, eat train as a sniper on games. The sniper has a good defence turret once you hear that firing you know you have someone close.

The sniper depends how good you are personally, Some people are skilled at it and some people cant handle it (i know a lot of people who cant :funny2: ) I personally never miss a shot and can aim with out using the scope which means i can get a 1 shot kill every time. I must admit dont think iv been out sniped on swbf2 when iv been a sniper (meaning when we both see each other i always hit quickest) yet.....

Now that's not true, even I've been outsniped before, if you've never been outsniped, you need to take on people like Widow_Maker, Spider, Worrior, Shockstorm, Frothy, and a ton of others that I am probably forgetting.

No one is.

Do not claim you are the best, no one can be the best, there is always someone better or worse than you.

My favorite class would have to be the sniper. After about a year of always spawning as the sniper class my aim with the sniper rifle has become deadly and naturally my favorite class is the one I am best at. When Battlefront Extreme came out I almost died of excitment when I tried out the sniper class. (a repeating sniper rifle) :wink:

Well it looks like a sniper rifle. For example if you were an assassin droid it would fire that red beam about as fast as a assault rifle but still do the damage of a sniper rifle.

Not really, considering that every weapon in Battlefront Extreme deals a great amount of damage.

Which in the context said and as I know English, both phrases "I am the best" and "I can't remember being outsniped" mean the same. But as this whole topic of who is best is nonsense it's best we stray away from it.

Depends on what corridor you take them down.

Take them down MY corridor, and you just lost 4 riflemen.

That is, if the 4 riflemen don't kill you first :P

Riflemen have gotten a bad rap, IMO. People usually think they're weak cause they dont know how to use them, but if you practice with them, they're deadly.

Engineers though....they're the---*someone whispers into his ear*Huh? Wha? *reads The Rules* Oh...well...let me put it this way. Engineers are kinda cheap. They have a gun that fires in every direction so there's no need to actually aim (aiming the gun NEAR a target is not aiming), they have a detpack that they can throw, causing an instant victory for the engie, and just in case they get hurt or run out of detpacks, they regenerate themselves with their Bacta Dispensers. Really overpowered and cheap if you ask me.

But if I were to pick a unique class, it would be the Dark Trooper, all the way.
