If something is pissing me off in a game i kill it, so normally that makes me Assault/SMG, but if a tank rolls by or everyones leaving the sniper to do his thing..

I'm a sniper, because I like the utter humiliation you can give a player by ending his 'monster kill' rampage with a quick bullet through the cranial region.

Sniping is generally the only class I actually have fun in because for one you have no squad to worry about, the commander can't tell you orders because it is your job to sit really still and not move and it requires tact and skill and you gleam with smugness and your ego blows up twice it's size when you see a noob run head first into your mines.

Stealthy (and sniper). It doesn't always pay off, since in FPS enemy AI tends to be a bit more perceptive than in stealth games, but still, sneaking behind Zombies and killing them with the crowbar is very, very fulfilling.

I love sniping and/or stabbing people in the back.
Nothing more satisfying than a head shot from nowhere.
That or the tank.
Gotta love the, huge machine guns with like 913874192347569827 rounds of ammo.

Nothing beats using a tank. It's just hilarious when you hear little tinks against the armour, spin around to see someone shooting it, so your shove a missile down their eye-sight.

Woooo

Not-so-subtly bumping your September 2008 thread there, eh OP?

Sounds like this is more of a "What type of BF2142/BF2 Gamer Are You" thread to me. That said, I went Commander. I like to have some measure of tactical control over combat. Were this TF2, I'd probably go Engineer for the same reason - building those battlefield-influencing drops and whatnot.

I play medics in a lot of games, because in my experience it's the medic that contributes the most to the team's victory, whereas it's quite often the sniping types that contribute the least.

For example, Team Fortress 2 on 2Fort: it's the soldiers, medics, and heavies that bring back the briefcases. Demomen and engineers make entering your base a living hell for the enemy, pyros play it equally both ways, and the spy messes with well laid plans. I find that the snipers often plant themselves on the battlements and sling bullets back and forth at each other, not really accomplishing much. Sure, they help hold an area a bit, but they're not making the impact that other classes might at most levels of play. (I understand though that in the highest-end competition a good sniper is critical to stopping medic + x, but that's not most games).

This situation happens in a lot of FPS's: snipers sit and make kills, but often are too busy going for 'the perfect headshot'.

In COD4 i use my perks so that I will never be seen and I carry a SMG. A quick burst of shots and i run away before they realize what hit them. I think Its assault.

I tried sniping on CoD:WaW multiplayer. Didn't really work out. I used the Thompson, and it got a hell of a lot easier. I guess it also depends on the nature of the game.

I figure myself a mix of squad leader and assault, since people tend to form on me(either because I'm playing Heavy or Demoman or in rare cases Soldier in TF2 and therefore can absorb the hurt), and I'm usually just in there pounding away with the shotgun or in other FPS contemporaries with an assault rifle or submachine gun. I just can't in good consciousness be a sniper. Too far away to be in the real fight, but sniper duels are a whole other story.
