Thanks

Yeah, so no flame wars, keep it cleanish.

So I think that the sniper class is the strongest, the hardest to be good at, and the least nooby, but that is just my opinion.

Sniper is definatly not noobish. It's quite dangorous on Kamino. I would have to say rockets are best.

Well, I'm not sure about the Sniper class being the best, but it is my favorite nonetheless. I like to take my time to carefully aim at my targets, and I like weapons that pack a punch, the sniper rifle suits my preferences nicely.

I belive the most powerful class is the Wookie Warrior, dude's a one man army. He can deal great damage at short, medium and long range, has a lot of armor and a large supply of grenades (if you count the ones in the grenade launcher), Wookies are monstrous combatants.

wookies are too tankish, slow and cat dodge. and for sniping aiming fast and accurate is key. I love to snipe on mygeeto, nice medium range.

Riflemen are also good on Mygeeto..

In single player? Whichever class I'm using.
...

Maps are different, situations during maps are changing.

Best mid range anti infantry? rifleman
Best long range anti infantry? sniper
Best vehicle support/close range anti infantry/anti installation? engineer
Best anti vehicle/anti installation? heavy

lets keep this for multiplayer as bots cant aim worth crap even on the hardest setting. and for a sniper to be used most effectively in swbf2 you will not be hiding and shooting from a distance. you shound be right in the middle of everything no-scoping just outside of engineer range. in multiplayer the rifleman class is almost pointless it is so under powered, the only thing going for it is that it takes two sniper shots to take out.

Riflemen are good if you aim for sniper's heads.

It depends completely on the situation. Rifleman is good when there's people charging at you, sniper is good if you can hide well, etc. I don't play online much, but I find the engineer and the rifleman to be the most balanced classes.

a valid opinion

My point is: Any [class] is the best [class], as long as it is used with skill and honor.

Too true, man.

I like the rifleman. I know he is a little nooby, but he cuts through enemies quickly. The rifleman also has grenades for anti armor and crowd control. Two sniper shots kill if not a head shot, but snipers have a slow rate of fire so rifleman can kill just as fast if not faster. I think it all depends on your preference. The classes a fairly balanced in my opinion.

if you have good aim then sniper is way faster, especially if you land headshots on slower moving units like Heavies and wooks

Sniper also took me a good year to get down pat. And even then, if I stop playing for a week or so, I have to refresh for up to a week to get back up to speed. Sniper class is my favorite though, and I would rather continue sniping on the front lines than accept the hero for my faction.

The rifleman, once mastered, is the most powerful, most well-balanced unit in BF2. But some units differ by team. Here's some I've come up with:

Republic: Jet trooper

CIS: Super Battle Droid/Droideka

Rebel Alliance: Bothan Spy

Galactic Empire: Dark Trooper (A squad of them can take out anything >:D)

I can't stand any of the base classes except engineer and rifleman... Engineers are nooby cuz of dets, but I don't detrush like they do on WGO servers, and I'm better with rifleman.

All the classes have strengths. But the one I always seem to drift by was the engineer.

I love the shotgun....A LOT.
And I mean, even long range you have high chances of hitting at least SOMETHING.

I don't detpack spam/dispenser spam much though.

When I use sniper, I normally go point-blank range sniping, its real fun! (at least, against bots, havent tried online) I somehow can always hit even when no crosshair is present(in fact, in some mods where the sniperrifle has a crosshair i get disorientated ) Hiding while sniping? Pfft, i can do that, its also effective, but I prefer going around being crazy and point-blank/one-hit-kill people.
The scout is also the fastest unit too.

The heavy, well, I love to rocket enemy units, try to get at least 2 bots with a rocket. But I prefer suicide-mining a bit more. Drop a mine on something really strong (i.e. vehicle, large grp of enemies)

The rifleman is well balanced, and I respect that. I also love the fact they have FOUR thermal detonators, wow I love being a mad grenadier.

I don't really like the commander classes, nor the specials, they seem, missing something, or not to powerful on a certain field I like.

All in all, most of the base classes have a place inside for me. Cant really decide a fav.

I don't think this could have been said any better. Each class has it's own strengths and weaknesses. Deal with it.

As for my fav class, I can't really decide..... I like 'em all. To a certain extent.

I've actually mastered each class, my personal favorite mqain weapon would have to be Clone commando's Chain gun (though its own Achilles heel is that is has nothing for heavy groups to be taken down in a few seconds)

with the aid of 2 rifleman you create a force that is nearly unstoppable untill you run out of grenades that is =P

Snipers are nice, but when you find yourself in the midst of soldiers your about as done as charcoal toast....

Engineers have only short range abilities, and all classes can easily counter them from a distance.

Rifleman are well rounded, thus making them the most adapt for any situation, though when you run out of ammo, the side arm is not as effective as you would wish..

Rocketeer is one reason this game has a fast pace to it, if you ask me. the laying of mines and high explosives can be a real pain to anyone caught off guard. and in a sense they have little weaknesses, though once out of ammo they are easy targets... this might be why there one of the msot played classes online....

Magna Guard is pretty powerful, same with the droideka, but the droideka is its own worse enemy, since you have to uncrouch to fire.....

but that is all i have to say... all my opinion...

Take 4 rifleman down a corridor, you just won the match.

Although my favorite class when I actually played was the sniper, for when I was joking around engineer and rocketeer (run up to an enemy and kill you and your enemy).

Specials I rarely played as, wookie I'm useless at since I don't like mortar launchers or charging up my gun for a single shot, magnaguard just useful for the neuro poison, bothan I thought was cheap to play as, Droideka I also thought was cheap to play as, clone commander is nearly exactly the same as the rifleman, jet trooper and dark trooper had useless slow firing not 1 hit kill weapons (unless on sniper).
