Whats your role?

[Burn]

Im sure everyones going to give everything a try.... but what do you think you will be up to the most, based on what you have seen in videos/reviews, or what you do in BF1942/V. Or you can reply to the poll with more then one thing, if you got your heart set on trying more then one out.

Im mostly going to be medic Im thinking, or a sniper.

edit: Not sure what I missed on the poll.. Im thinking just sniper, if so, could a mod edit "other" to sniper? :p

[MilkMan12]

If the m249 is accurate enough and powerful enough I will probably be a support gunner. It just looks like too much fun and the M249 was my best gun in Americas Army. However if its not accurate and I cannot control the accuracy then I will go with Special Ops or Engineer.

[Jammydodger]

See me Sig :cheers:

THe m249 is less accurate, it was said in one video becuase as a support gunner, you should lay down supressing fire so you team mates and go in and kill

[Foxtrot]

I have no idea, I love flying the helicopter though.

[marksmanHL2 :)]

I used to like spec ops and medic....



I'll mess arround and see when the time comes...

[Jimmeh]

Medic/Pilot :D I've been touching up on my helicopter skills with DC heh :p

[oldagerocker]

I'll probably just play the demo for abit as i just bought GTA: SA but... i'll go with sniper :E

[PickledGecko]

If I don't suck at it - Heli pilot.
I like being a sniper now and then but too much gets boring.
I have no preference between regular soldier and medic, depends on my mood.

What do special ops blow up? Do they just get more grenades or something?
And what does a co-pilot do?

[TIIMMYY]

I think i'll be a medic :D

[bryanf445]

i guess id find my self to be a gunner, im not too bad at flying planes either

[MilkMan12]

I know its less accurate but I said accurate enough. Meaning I can counter act the recoil and get kills with it.

Special ops get C4 which they can stick to any vehicle and blow it up, 2 C4s for tanks, or they can throw a bunch on a bridge and blow it up. Engineers can repair the bridges though.

[AmishSlayer]

I'm having trouble deciding. At first I was gravitating towards Engineer so when I was Commander I could repair my own stuff if need be. But now in the IGN vid preview it shows the Commander with the weapon of an assault class which brings up a question for me.

When you want to be the commander, do you simply just get an assault kit and the commander screen at your fingertips? OR...do you have your original kit that you spawned with and then have access to the commander screen?

EDIT: Spec Ops' C4 is also the only thing that can destroy Commander utils.

I think they thoought that being a commander and a engineer would be unfair and everyone would fight over the commander postion

[The Monkey]

Isn't ops always better than gunner?

[Ennui]

Manic guy who gets the infantry outfit, grabs the fastest vehicle, picks up a few more people than drives on an insane route to the front lines before plowing into a tank, killing everyone in the vehicle but himself.

im always a great driver but no one wants to ride with me because on maps like omaha I'd drive off the cliff on the german side straight on top of a tank, run over three people before kamikazing a landing boat.

[AmishSlayer]

I think they thoought that being a commander and a engineer would be unfair and everyone would fight over the commander postion

If that is the case then I can't decide what class :P I'll probably go with what is needed at the time. I can't wait to try it all :)

[Nabobalis]

If that is the case then I can't decide what class :P I'll probably go with what is needed at the time. I can't wait to try it all :)

Agreed. I would like to try all classes.

[jimbo118]

medic or assault.

[Mr. Redundant]

I would like to give all roles a shot

I love teamwork, so may take a shot at commander/squad leader down the line

Medic primarily, but whatever is needed by my squad (Im effective in all roles), currently Im set to be an anti-tanker.

Im a decent chopper pilot/jet pilot, if I get the chance I wouldnt mind that, but I aint a hog.

[Shakermaker]

I'll have a multiple role: a bus driver with a hidden agenda. I like to fly transport helo's. If I get shot down, I'll carry on foot with my backpack full of C4 to blow up the enemy's command post.

[The Monkey]

Assault Class :D I'll probably drive tanks and such.

[Foxtrot]

Looking at this very large list of people in the clan, I am sure we could invade a pub server, vote kick people out to make room (people who deserve it), vote in our own commanders, we could control a server :)

YES.

We'll be one big invasion force just flooding the server and completely taking control (apart from the EA mods and whatnot).

I decided whatever I am, I want to be a squad leader. I don't know how many will play in squads at the beginning and I wanna start teamplay right away :)

[Ames]

Assault/Medic.

Though I do fancy a plane when I see one.

[Alan Freeman]

Commander all the way !!!!

[Jimmeh]

Spec Ops get C4 packs, but Assault get smoke grenades and a rifle-mounted grenade launcher.

[Foxtrot]

Special ops is better up close, but I don't think they have the extra armor that assault gets, and the assault has a more accurate weapon, and grenades.

[short recoil]

Support gunner or tank crew, i like my powerful toys.

[The Monkey]

Thanks.

The Assault is supposed to be the backbone of any army. Howcome we only got two of them?

[Ames]

Thanks.

Because they're scared to be in the middle of the fight.

FIGHT LIKE A REAL MAN YOU COWARDS.

[MilkMan12]

Yay Im not the only one!

[Mr. Redundant]

Thanks.

people tend to gravitate towards specialty classes that suit their tastes.
the assault is the more generic (good power, good amount of m203 grenade rounds) class, as it has no function other than a good mix of combat skills.

you may find people trying it out and enjoying it more, but with teamplay, everyone wants to be important and supportive of their team.
(medics heal, engineers repair, support resupply ammo, anti-tanks take out armor, spec ops are the only class capable of destroying artillery and radar stations and are not detected by commander scans, snipers can cover their squad from GREAT distances especially with the new immense draw distance)

assault is merely assault.

that being said, it could have the most functional/effective primary weapon for grunt combat..
at this point it's mere speculation. it just seems bland in comparison to other roles is most likely why it's the least chosen.

[KoreBolteR]

Spec Ops, Heli and plane flyer, Engineer.

ill have to make up my mind soon.:D

[Viperidae]

Either jet or helicopter pilot. Love flying.

[PickledGecko]

Everyone wants a speciality, but if 3 people joined a server who are usually medics I'm sure we could easily work something out. Either pick one person to be medic or allow people to switch etc.

[The Monkey]

So Alan is our official Commander?

[Nabobalis]

So Alan is our official Commander?

Well it will depend if he wants the job.

[The Monkey]

Are we gonna play against eachother or in one team.

[Nabobalis]

Are we gonna play against eachother or in one team.

I don't know but I have asked

[Mr. Redundant]

Everyone wants a speciality, but if 3 people joined a server who are usually medics I'm sure we could easily work something out. Either pick one person to be medic or allow people to switch etc.
of course, however keep in mind there will be more than one squad, so the likely ness of you not being the class you really want to be is low.

we can always work something out.

as for Alan being commander, he called first dibs on it as far as I know.
however knowing what a good chap Alan is, I am sure he wouldn't mind others trying their hand at it once in a while.

the community here at Hl2.net is the friendliest (and coolest for the most part) on the net (one reason I have been here for like 2 years hehe, since the inception!.. well almost)
and that will carry over into our games.... I mean that's why we want a HL2.net clan, we know eachother, we know our natures are good, and we respect eachother.

otherwise why bother hehe. :P

I don't know but I have asked
both, at one time or another I am sure.

however we plan to work together initially, perhaps we may test our squad skills against eachother in hl2.net only matches (if we can get the servers), but when not training hopefully we can work as a full on community in-game.

[PickledGecko]

It would be cool to take over a small (empty) server. Fill both teams and play for hours, don't know if the mods would like that though, might get banned on a few.

[AmishSlayer]

I'd like a shot at commander every once and a while :P as well...or when Alan's not there :D

[Mr. Redundant]

I smell a mutiny!

[AmishSlayer]

I smell a mutiny!

Nah :P Co-Commander here. I work commander when Alan feels like capping some Chinamen and vice versa...how about that :naughty:

EDIT: It looks like you can be commander as ANY kit you want. In the 1hr long vid a guy has the spec ops kit and applies for commander and gets it. He doesn't die or change equip.

[Mr. Redundant]

Nah :P Co-Commander here. I work commander when Alan feels like capping some Chinamen and vice versa...how about that :naughty:

cool cool, although technically a commander is a normal soldier (field commander) and he could if he wanted to, run out and cap em at the same time.

edit: yep, I said this AGES AGO, OMFG BF2 NOOB. hehe :)

[AmishSlayer]

Yes, the Commander can do their own thing if they want but a good commander will probably hang back as an engineer or something so they can spend as much time as possible directing other soldiers. Having the engineer kit would allow him to repair his own stuff instead of calling in an engineer to do it for him.

[Qonfused]

What's the role with the M203? (M4 w/ grenade launcher attachment.)

[MilkMan12]

Assault-I think we have our first assaulter!!!!!!
lol

Anyway I would love to be a commander/engineer....we shall see how I am at that though.

[Ames]

That's the Assault class.

actually monkey was the first ;)

hmm i dont want to be lone wolf, but i like sniper camuflage and slow pace tru hills sniping your ass :)
ye and pilot's left eye ;)

[Burn]

Is Ops always better than Assault Class? If they are what's the point if being Assault?

As far as I can tell Ops get the C4, but a close range weapon (Like a shotgun or somthing) so there going to need to be more stealthy if there to get up to tanks to blow them, or bridges etc etc.

Assaults are the bread and butter, getting a nice mid range weapon and I would think some grandes.

Not quite, Spec Ops get a rifle as well but it is different. I don't know if it's more accurate than an Assault kit rifle..but my best guess is that the Spec Ops rifle doesn't have full auto, just single shot and maybe burst.

Engineer is the class with the shotgun I think.

Spec Ops is a stealthy class though. They are invis to the enemy commander.

[bvasgm]

Like you said, everybody's gonna try everything but I'll probably spend most of my time as a pilot. None of that Helicopter bullshit, just show me where the F-15/18's are and I'm all set.

The exact opposite. Lemme clear this up. Spec Ops who have C4 get a M4A1 just like the M4 in CS:S, its smaller and has full auto (its the same gun as the dudes in the movie Black Hawk Down). So Spec Ops on top of C4 get the M4A1 which is full auto but much less accurate than the M16.

Engineers get the FABARM (I think thats what its called) shotgun and no one else but engineers get the shotgun.

Assault get the M16 with a 203 attachment, the M16 can shoot single fire or burst fire-it cannot shoot full auto but is much more accurate than the M4. I hope that cleared that up. Its the perfect all around weapon-it works at close range and is great at long range.

Ah. I knew the rifles for the Spec Ops and Assault were different (I guess I didn't say much beyond "rifle" in my post). I just got the firing modes mixed up.

Engineers' shotguns look sweet :)

Ah thats awesome...thank you...I have also been wanting to find a vid with the buggy side weapon being used. Thanks twice! Its awesome! Where did you find that?

[Lemonking]

I wanna be a Helicopter pilot
I have a MS Sidewinder Joystick Im ste to go^^

[Mr. Redundant]

Ah thats awesome...thank you...I have also been wanting to find a vid with the buggy side weapon being used. Thanks twice! Its awesome! Where did you find that?
I haven't seen one with the buggy side weapon (besides the machinegun) being used... not that I recall anyway.

and that vid was from some forum heh.
I am the mecca of BF2 info... I suck up all the info I can about this game. I love it.

that video was actually the small version of the one I have, but the 22mb was taken down, or at least I can't find it after searching for 10 min heh.
I could upload the bigger one to yousendit or something, but you get the idea from the 11mb I linked earlier.
plus the demo will be out soon enough.

[MilkMan12]

No I mean that vid you gave me with the shotgun had the side weapon being used. Hence the twice thanks!

[Mr. Redundant]

lol im sorry I love you :angel:

[J_Tweedy]

Im looking foward to medic, but only in a good team environment- in a free for all, ill go whatever gets me the most kills the quickest.

[Sparta]

Probably Spec Ops. As i'm awesome at getting into places no one else can and wreaking havoc. I totally dominate in DoD when i do that. One time i led a complete turn around in a game just by being a general shithead to the opposite team and telling the guys in my team to move. Great game that was.

[Sloth]

Can you still change gear kits?

[Mr. Redundant]

Can you still change gear kits?
you can change kits whenever you want.

the kits however are not customizable like in BF:V, here you have a set primary and secondary weapon, with one unlockable per class.

[Dalamari]

I'm just a basic assault troop, I help take the flag, but I suck at defending points

[Lemonking]

you can change kits whenever you want.

the kits however are not customizable like in BF:V, here you have a set primary and secondary weapon, with one unlockable per class.



and too unlock it you have too have a certain rank/frag count?

[Burn]

and too unlock it you have too have a certain rank/frag count?

Once you reach a certain rank its unlocked for you. You can choose what you unlock (So if your a sniper you can unlock a weapon for anouther class).

Its not with frag count I beileve, its points, which include frags but also stuff like medic heals, engineer stuff etc.. at least thats my guess.

[Direwolf]

If its anything like DC I'll probably be a supporting player when I can. That means defense, anti-air, engineering, and a chopper-lift pilot. I was able to tame the DC helos, so I should do alright on these.

[Gorgon]

I m gone try everything, but my main aim is to be Helicopter/Plane Piolt or Ground Vehicles/Sniper

hey, all options are fooking cool.

[Mr. Redundant]

and too unlock it you have too have a certain rank/frag count?

DICE said that with most promotions you get in-game (from various things from rank to flying well etc) you will get the choice to unlock a weapon from 1 of the 7 classes (there are 7 unlockable weapons total, 1 for each class)

It has nothing to do with your frag total, unless of course you get promotions from kills as well.

[Ennui]

I'm also a beast of a squad leader. Every game I play, I take a leadership position, get 8 or so people to follow me and I can coordinate well.

[ailevation]

:naughty: Gunner or Spec Ops, preferred.

[pAiNtHeAsS]

Medic. I liked saving people, makes me feel all warm inside :D

[J_Tweedy]

Haha, and you dont have to be modest to be a squad commander either, so you'll be right! Nah, just joking :)
Looking foward to support roles- medic, engineer, transport.etc. Good to play a team role in what is obviously going to be a very team oriented game.
