Your playing style

Post » Tue Jul 05, 2011 8:15 am

What class, body type, weapons, abiltities do you use. Do switch classes constantly you complete primary objectives or do you stick with one class and use that. Do you use hit & run tactics or something else. Go on describe your play style, there are no wrong anwsers

I prefer the medic, but i change to try to complete objectives, using the galactic or carb with a light body type and the belgo or richie as a secondary. i use a mix of tactics but i mostly use lots of parkour to confuse the enemy. (a mix of wallhops and slides works wonders ;) ).

At this time i got 3 level 20 characters; a heavy soldier / engineer, a heavy soldier / medic and a medium engineer / operative.
The heavies are armed with a Chinzor (muzzle break) as primary and a Kross (muzzle break, speed sling, adjusted sights, drum magazine) or Gerund (COGA, front grip) as backup.
The medium is armed with a Gerund or Carb-9 (muzzle break, red dot, front grip, drum) as primary and a Kross as backup.

I found out that although i have great fun while playing as a medium that i am mostly play as a heavy and have a blast while doing so.
As a heavy i try to find the chokepoints on primary objectives / routes and clear them of enemies so my team mates can perform the objective, or do them myself.
With the heavy you have less mobility so it is key that you try to keep the fire lanes as thight as possible and use terrain to block of parts of the battlefield.
If you can do this the amount of firepower you can put out with the Chinzor / Kross combo is very gratifying, and can keep the enemies off objectives for a serious time.
For this role i find the soldier class best, as you can resupply your ammo and have acces to the grenades, which really helps.
If needed i can switch to my secundairy class to accomplish objectives or help the team in another way.

When playing as medium engineer / operative i am more mobile, changing class to fit objectives and battle conditions.
This is more a support role then an offensive one, but can benifit the team greatly by gaining objectives, capturing command posts and criticall support.

I haven't gotten the hang of the light body type yet, but now i'm levelling a fourth character as a light (only level 8 so just started).
I find the reduced weapon options / firepower of the light tricky as i tend to gravitate to the objectives, where there are lots of enemies and i tend to get overpowered.
To be a good light i will need to adjust my style, but am still learning.

But overall i just enjoy playing the game :)

the trick is to move fast and use hit and run tactics, use quick parkour moves to confuse your enemies

I prefer Medium Medic with Gerund/Galactic. Throw out buffs at every opportunity possible and lay cover fire to support and bolster the front lines.

Depends on the class I'm playing as but overall I tend to take enemies from a distance whenever possible and lay cover fire for the better shooters than I. My Normal loadout is Medium build with Kross smg + Barrnet rifle. If I have a choice between going in heavy in the thick of things, or taking a vantage point and Snipering, I'll take Sniper and long range grenade mortar'ing. I would say that I'm a "Cowardly" player.

For Class specifics, My main two I play as are Medic and Operative. As Medic, I tend to hang back, buffing the health of those in cover or near death and escorting carriers. normally risking my life so they have that 5 seconds of invincibilty whilst making a drop. As Operative, again, hanging back, taking flanking routes to take out and disguise as enemy soldiers then rather than killing one unsuspecting dude, I tend to spot mines, highlight sneaky enemies who are in hard to see spots, and hacking turrets. If I'm not dead by this point I tend to run to the hills to do it all over again xD
