I was thinking the other day that my style of play has changed several times over the course of 400+ hours. Here is a list of the different styles I have found myself playing while progressing through this game.
1.) Originally I played medic because I heard it was good at getting points. I played most of the maps, but like most was attracted to Karkand. I played medic on Karkand almost exclusively for my first 10 hours or so.
2.) Finding my K:D ratio all out of kilter I then turned to the n00b t00b. I quickly mastered that and got my K:D near 1.00.
3.) Now I turned to the armor phase. I saw how much damage a well driven tank could do on Karkand and decided to give it a try. The joys of an Engineer + a tank overcame me for a long while. I tank whored on Karkand like so many before and after me.
4.) Once I was bored of the armor, I decided I wanted to take armor out because I knew how mad it made me to lose a tank. I turned to Spec Ops and the C4. I wasn't one of those crazy C4 chuckers, but I held my own. This was right about the time that you could earn points for destroying enemy assets.
5.) Biggest Leap: Knifing. I never really used the knife, but then a couple friends and I created the Knifedudes squad. Our goal was to knife wherever possible, and sometimes where not possible. The switch in mentality made all the difference. I didn't care too much about dying or points, just about how I could better myself at knifing. There were umpteen rounds that I used nothing but a knife. The close combat and feeling you get when you embarrass the opponent with your blade is all the rush I need. "Press 1 to Kill" became our motto.
6.) My hours at this time were split between Assault, Medic, Spec Ops, and Engineer. I didn't much care for the other kits and rarely played them. This is about the time that Special Forces came out. I was instantly hooked and couldn't get enough of it. My SPM jumped drastically when SF came out. I guess I was quicker to adapt to the 'somewhat' new style of play. I started to use the AT kit with a DAO-12 and an RPG.
7.) Then patch 1.2 arrived and I found the joys of the support class. It was easy to get up to my 16 hours and get my vet badges after the PKM became so powerful. Soon after I got my sniper badges while forcing myself to play that kit. I am NOT a sniper by trade and it's not my favorite kit. I like to be right by the action and not staring at it from far away (refer to #5).
8.) Now I am playing the kits that fit best with the map/goal of our squad.
Sorry for the long post.
