What makes a good Light?

The heavies aren't late to the party - the party starts when it gets to the heavies.

Or the cheapest. Real men like us lights take them on with the weakest weapons and still kick [censored]. You guys need to be really girly and hide behind massive health bars and nooby spraying weapons. We are full on speed lightning offense who deals with things in the manliest ways.

with ohk kills from behind. that doesnt seem very manly

You know full well that this is only possible on un-buffed LIGHTS!!! NOT HEAVIES!!! We can do this sort of thing to our fellow kind.

I have not actually heard any proper sources say that backstabs like from the spys in TF2 are involved. If you could point me to one, than please do so. Plus, these backstabs are class specific not weight specific. So a heavy operative backstabs aswell. Hows that for a blow to your manly manliness?

Not true at all I am thinking about playing as a light medic so when my team needs health or gets downed I can take the fastest routes to get to them and get my team back in the action. There will be alot of people playing each weight for every class not just lights playing operatvies and heavies all play soldiers.

It has nothing to do with cheapness. Certain people gravitate to certain playstyles which make them effective.

The heavies aren't late to the party - the party starts when it gets to the heavies.


John Belushi approves.


LOL John Belushi. Still by the time the heavies get to the party the lights are at the after party.

Still effective, and BADASS!

Not all and I am sure you will do your utmost to cull the herd.

operative imo is light/medium going on light
soldier.. heavy is most suited for the task but i think at least in the beginning there's gonna be a whole lot more of mediums.
medic and engineer can be all 3, depending on what road their build is taking

Then be mad about the class, not the build. There could be some heavy and medium operatives. Medium for decent mobility and power. Heavy to disuguise themselves, and toss of their disguises and mow down the opposition with their high capacity mini guns.

why do people think a light is always gonna be a operative? light medics and engies can be very effective, zipping around and healing/planting mines all over the place. Besides the game hasn't even been released, we dont know how exactly lights and heavies are gonna playout.

This doesnt stand true at all it all depends on the persons playstyle. Someone could be more effective than a light operative playing as a heavy with there large health causing chaos. It depends on the player and there style. Like I said there will be people effective as all builds and classes there is no one archtype that is better then the rest it all depends on how that person utilizes the skills they have.

Anyone who plays the Scout from TF2 will have a general idea of what it is to play a light. You are fast and agile but one mistake and you are dead. I do agree that some of the light ninja crowd has diminished, but it will return when the games comes out. People would want to be and try a commando knifer and soon realize that it isn't a viable except to the most skilled, These people will come and go quickly when it isn't a viable opinion.

Lights will be very useful to their teams.

What you need to realize that your speed is your life. Hit and run tactics are your modus operandi. You don't have the firepower or the HP for any kind of sustained firefight. Lights will not only have speed but manueverability. This combined with the SMART system gives the light far more options in how to reach objectives, teammates, enemies etc,

I could go on but this is the basic points.

Its about how you play.


I 100% agree with this guy since i played team fotress 2

I think it will cause me to keep the mindset that I am low on health at all times. You all know the feeling of being one shot away from death as you take cover, waiting those few crucial seconds until your health regenerates. I think I'll constantly be alone ducking around corners, jumping from cover to cover, and just doing what I would do if I were waiting on a recharge. Even when buffed I can see myself bringing the fight where I want it to happen while the meat shield... I mean... heavies take the direct routes.
