<div class="IPBDescription">What do you fancy yourself?</div>While there aren't specific classes i know at least some of you out there have a way you are going to play.  A role you'll fill.

I think i will be (at first at least) just a grunt aka cannon fodder.

What do you think you could be considered?  Heavy Weapons?  Engineer?  Sentry?  Fearless Leader?  Rambo?  

You know, that sort of thing.  What will be your play-style?

    I'd like the idea of being a commander but I doupt I'll be able to get a place in the CC too soon into the game.  But otherwise, I can see myself as an all-around guy but I'd definately want to lug around some heavy armor.

    I'd prefer mobility so a jet pack no heavy armour and posbaly a shotgun or a heavy machine gun. (you can you cary a heavy machine gun and jet pack right?)

    I'd like to be a plain old grunt; just moving through the level with my team blowing the hell out of anything that ain't human.  Preferably with a shotgun.  Although I wouldn't mind doing some recon if the CO sees a need for it.

    I'll probably try my hand at command when I get used to being a good follower, and provided I get a decent frame rate in command mode.

    I'm more of a strategist, but i don't think i would do very well as a commander of all.  I might do well being in the midst of thing ordering people around.

    So, unless i get involved in a clan, i'll stick to being just a grunt doing whatever is needed.

    This always happens, so I'll bet the squad asking me for it and suggest it now. I'll be bait. In real life, I can run VERY fast. Track team sorta thing. So what'll happen is this:
    "Hey Shif we gotta take down that lev 5, you up for it?"
    *sigh* yes.. gimme a minute *mutter swear mutter*

    I can imagine Shifty Eyes stepping out in the hallway in front of a level 5, mooning it, and taking off down the hallway trying to pull his pants up.  Lol

    All the marines will be sitting back eating popcorn watching Shifty being chased by a Lvl 5.

    Until I run past them.
    Then they'd have to share the popcorn with the level 5, and they are so greedy! Buncha pigs...

    I have decent aim/reflexes I guess. I'll make a decent grunt.

    In CS if stuff is going badly I sometimes try to take charge and get the team working together.. People DO listen, too bad all my plans usually end up in our whole team dying.. but at least we died as a cohesive unit! LOL...

    Maybe help organize, but certainly not be a Commander. I prefer the gun in my hand.

    Im pretty good at CS, but I refuse to 'power game.'

    i can imagine myself as a sneaky little bugger that always turns up in the heat of battle and opens fire on the enemy from their flank with my grenade launcher and pistol (PISTOLS RULE&#33<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> and then running away and hiding when it all goes sour. or as fire support & sentry with a HMG while my teammates are trying to build a forward base.

    *runs out ahead of the group a few feet;  bends over with hands on knees;  begins wheezing*

    "Let me catch my breath, damn this armor is heavy"

    *passes out and crushes the skulk that was hiding in a dark corner nearby*

    You get the heavy armour, the heavy machine gun/grenade launcher, and I get to fire my LMG over your shoulder. Sound good? Oh, and I'll be bait to bring the smaller aliens TO you.

    You could be rear-guard. We go ahead, and anything that tries to flank us gets offed by you.
    BtW, Assault is my 2nd least favourite map, just behind siege.
