Unit 351 Posted August 4, 2006 Author Posted August 4, 2006 Is it me or do engineers seem to have less life?
MachineCult Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Normal Soldier Agreed. The best definitely isn't the Command units, they're just wrong.
Darth Andrew Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Grunt trooper for me. The best definitely isn't the Command units, they're just wrong.Though I mostly agree, the Clone Commander can be very useful when clearing out hoards of enemies.
Coraan Talme Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 I'm not so sure about command units being useless. As Darth Andrew stated, the Clone Commander can be quite devastating - and also most people seem to consider him extremely weak, I actually like the Imperial commander. Somewhat. He's certainly no extraordinary superfighter - but he has potential. I guess the main reason why I like him is his grenade launcher. I have fond memories of it's deadly power from Battlefront 1 ... and it's not really weaker in BF2. There's even a nice, if not very powerful, new twist. If you launch grenades at full power, it seems that they bounce over the ground and explode not by contact but at the end of the bounce. The grenade launcher is rather difficult to aim at longer distances - but with practice it's not that hard. With the weakened heavy trooper in BF2 I think the grenades cause nearly as much - if not a bit more - damage (though of course not for vehicles) as the rockets. And you have far more ammunition - and you can occasionally launch it safely while standing behind cover due to the angle of the shots. The commander's other abilities aren't that bad, either - though the sonic pistol is of course a) rather pitiful and b) a VERY weird choice for an imperial commander. Oh - and he could REALLY use some uniform variation (which probably applies to all the 'special units'). In my opinion his main weakness is that he seems to die rather quickly. Though I'm not so sure if it's the comparison to BF1's pilot who carried bacta tanks that creates this impression or if he has truly less hit points than regular units (probably that ). If the rebel 'commander' unit is supposed to be the Bothan spy ... well, all I can say about that is that from an imperial perspective, this is the one unit I'm most afraid of. Of course, if you can spot them from a distance, they are harmless - but I can't count the number of times when one of those dirty little aliens just sneaked up behind me to roast - groups - of imperials. Yes ... you can roll away in time - if you are very lucky. And if you see him coming. Bothans are primary targets for whatever weapons I happen to be holding.
Genral O Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Rocket troopers.But I don't use the the rockets on infantry.I use the blaster pistol.Yeah I know.That's pretty weird
MachineCult Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 ^^^ Well after only 6 kills you get the award pistol so that must be handy.
TSR Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 i say the ujet trooper. Mainly because he can fly, and i cant. so i use him so i can it all works and the CC aint bad as a replacement blaster rifler when auto aim is off
Mercury Noodles Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Nah, the Imperial Officer has the same amount of health points as the normal trooper. I took a peek at the odfs. The Pilot having bacta actually makes sense. I remember taking advantage of that a few times. I'll go with the sniper class, if I understood the topic. They're somewhat limited at short range, but they're pretty handy in just about any situation.
grrrrrrrrrr7 Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Magnaguard for me. I think that the weapons are pretty good, except the main blaster it has is pretty/kinda slow.
Unit 351 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Posted August 7, 2006 Magnaguards are all explosive. I prefer accuracy to power.
Unit 351 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Posted August 7, 2006 All. I highly doubt that you can be equally good with every single one of the units. Which one is your favorite?
Halo_92 Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 oh umm Clone commander or sniper rephrase: which one is your favourite? The edit button is your friend.
Global Strike Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 I voted for the engineer class, although i perfer mainly both the engineer class and the anti-armor class, because i'm just the support type of player. Also, i like to play the commander classes, and sometimes, i'll play as the sniper class, but it's mainly the first two. :jawa
EliteHeadHunter Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 i voted engineer, because he can heal himself and he rocks at close range. sometimes i play sniper class, because my personality is recon and intelligence gathering, plus the scout trooper has way cooler armour than the rest of em, but hey, elite rifle is probably the most useful all-round weapon, so normal soldier is awesome (with award rifle).
Lord XZantor Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 You got to be kidding me!! the normal soldier is best, no questions asked. But i can handle the super battle droid easier. Even though the the droids die easier. :
deathclone Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 i have only used clone commander 1 time and that was for jedi lvl in story mode but i luv the normal soilder PS if only the jet trooper had a machine gun like normal soilder that would be cool
Redtech Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Soldier+elite rifle = best unit ever! Now add that to an SBD and it's gg Republic!
TKT101 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Droideka for me it makes a hell of a lot of damage on the battlefield. It is the best for me. Or the normal trooper.
Lt_Justin Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Sniper I am a crack snipist and can hit anything and the percision pistol is great if the enemy gets within my confort range.
