Generally i like to play a class that can hold its own in combat, but also helps the team acomplish its goals (in said style of game). For instance, i am almost always a medic on BF2, the rifle you get is a good one, and you can get alot of team work point for healing and reviving, same as BF 2142, only in BF2142, ive taken a tendancy to playing as support alot, as the LMGs are quite accurate and ive found a greater need for someone with an ammo crate
