The Three Main Classes

Below are Three of the main classes that almost everyone will fall into. Below the classes is lists of the equipment each role should have.

The Quick and Merciless (Infantry)

The infantry role is what a lot of players fall into. They are the ones that are running right to the front lines and taking the majority of the enemy fire. To be infantry, you need to be fast and agile. Also included in infantry is the class of Spec. Ops. (Special Operations), who do specific assignments.  You don't necessarily need to master stealth, but it could help in flanking the enemy. Some strategies include flanking the enemy while other support gunners or infantry direct the enemy fire towards themselves. Also just the good old leap frog where two squads cover each other as they advance on after another.

The Guys with the BIG Guns (Support Gunners)

Support gunners play a very important role in turning the tide of battle and winning. They can surpress the enemy while other infantry and snipers flank or advance. Their key role is to lay down some heavy fire and keep the enemy in their cover while your other men flank or advance. When it comes to support gunners, your going to want a bigger gun with a larger clip, such as my 5000 round box mag. Your going to need those rounds to lay down that suppressive fire on the enemy. Support gunners also dont necessarily worry about kills, or accuracy. More along the lines of areas suppressed.

The Stealthy Assassins (Sniper)

Snipers are also very important on the battle field. The role of the Sniper including secretly sneaking behind enemy lines and picking off the enemy, or being back by the support gunner picking off the enemy from a straight on perspective. Snipers should be masters in stealth and in accuracy.
