BF2S Forums Most Useful Bf2 Class

if the questions is useful, as far as your team winning then it would have to be:

1) engineer: can defend against armor with mines, repair assets and is best class in armor.  mines are a particularly useful means of defending since the last patch since you can litter the landscape with em without compromising your armor.  repair driver ability points make groups of engi/armor one of the most formidable forces in the game.
2) anti-tank: can blow up armor from a distance.  unless you take out armor, infantry combat is effectively eliminated.  how bad ass are you with a pkm or ak-101 when that enemy apc comes down karkand alley?
3) medic: great for squad combat because he'll keep your team alive in firefights but this skill is fairly useless if you're fighting against armor (they'll tear you to shreds before you have a chance to revive).  nice guns to boot...who would think that medic would be better gunners than spec ops?
4) spec-ops: c4 can blow up assets (which is crucial on some maps) and defend against tanks.
5) supports: good infantry fighting and ammo bags are useful especially for anti-tank, spec ops and snipers.
6) assault: great guns, grenade launchers r ok, smoke and flash bangs underrated/utilized
7) sniper: spotting, sniping and claymores are usefull but don't really help you win that much

notice i don't this is the order of what are the best kits, but rather most useful kits.  in other words, if i were commander and could decide what people would spawn as, this would be my order of preference.  i list anti tank second despite the fact that i hate playing it...its a thankless job taking out armor but it sure is useful for my team:)

sniper,
like the eyes of the game, can spot tanks/heli/inf that you cant see or didnt know was there, therfore leading to others reacting to it. hardly happens in public but none the less still v. useful

AT kit is nothing without the support guys.

Supply drop?

anti-tanks,because we can destroy those armor whore and the heli too
i love when i take out a heli full of people

I think I answered the question "if everybody in your team only used one kit, which would be the best (considering also other maps than Karkand)?".

Tanks and APC have a tendency to lock the game if there's no AT around. Everybody just hides in a corner waiting for either an AT or a friendly tank. AT is the class that can act in all circumstances. A team with only medics would be in trouble on maps like Dragon Valley or Fushe Pass.

There should be 3 groups of classes in my opinion:

_The essential classes: AT, medic, engineer

_ The useful classes: support and specops

_ The useless classes: sniper and assault

(after patch 1.2 of course)

Thats what a commander is for.

AT is one of the useful kits. Because the DAO-12 is almost unstopable in close combat, and if you have a steady hand you can easily peg an enemy player with the AT rocket.

I wouldn't say there is ONE "best" kit.  They have their ups and downs, and are better for different situations.  If there was a BEST, then that is what everyone would use (boring).

There are good kit combos though.....like, if you play with a small squad.  I play with one of my friends a lot.  We make our own squad, use TS for communication....and play a combo of AT and support.......it seems to work quite well.

overall practicality and usefulness it's a toss up between medic and AT, but in the end i'd have to say medic.

Go T3h Sn1paz!!!!!!

I don't pay nearly as much time as I should into SpecOps, but IMO it's a better all around class than the ones I see used most (medic, sniper...), mainly for the ability to blow anything that you can get within 3 feet of into a smoldering pile of twisted metal , but also for the accuracy and firepower of those carbines.

Using C4 and mines as offensive weapons may be possible in theory, but when I get nailed when driving tank/APC it's an AT guy in 95% of the cases (I drive over mines more often but that's when they're placed defensively). They are much more efficient at destroying tanks (duh!). It's also the only class that can force a tank to retreat.
