Battlefield2 : Modern Combat - What's your most/least favourite class?

I must admit when I first started playing this game I favoured the sniper but quickly got bored. The laser target is extremely useful but being a one hit wonder it's rather restrictive..

My favourite

Engineer
Pros:
1. I can repair my own vehicle, my team mates vehicles and repair/use abandoned heavily damaged enemy vehicles.

2. Rocket launcher is a very nice weapon

3. Shotgun is handy for slightly laggy people like myself (thanks Orange broadband).

4. Mines - *drool* When someone dies to one of these puppies they take it personally, I've had so many nice fights with the same people coming back again and again to try and break through my defense. Lots of fun! and I usually die horribly!

5. *Rarely* but I have had people stop and let me get onboard to man a gun after going past several snipers who they know will abandon them at the first chance to get a sniping spot.

Cons

1. Rocket launcher is slow to load and only 5 shots before your looking for an ammo cache.

2. Shotgun is quite slow firing and restrictive range.

3. Number of times I've been run over when repairing my vehicle and someone nicks it.. (from my own team!!).

4. Snipers love shooting me.

5. You will kill your own team now and then with mines (because they're not looking where they are driving!!) and be at risk from getting kicked

Least favourite:

Sniper

Pros:

1. Excellent killing power with that damn sniper rifle

2. A good sniper can seriously frustrate half the enemy team, people really REALLY take it personally if a sniper keeps taking them out.

3. Laser target is fantastic for taking out vehicles

4. You can drink tea whilst camping your spot

5. Sometimes you just want to be mister sneaky!

cons:

1. It's boring, who wants to drink tea!

2. The pistol although adequate is extremely weak

3. If you lag now and then (like me) you'll miss a heck of a lot of shots which your sure should have hit home.

4. Laser targetter is a one hit wonder.

These are only my personal views and I probably missed a LOT from the pro/con lists. I love my engineer, if I was to rate all of the classes favourite >least favourite it would be:

Engineer> Assault> Spec ops> Support> Sniper

My favourite class is the Sniper.

Pros.

1.90% of the time your shot will kill the guy
2.Laser target is immense when you get a fully loaded helicopter

3.If your good you can shoot someone whils they are driving toward you (this really makes people mad !)
4.GPS, great tool, if you press left on the d-pad before doing it you can see the location of every enemy, very important to inform your teammates before using it.
5.If you can aim well whilst moving you can be pretty invinceable.

Cons.

1.Sniper reload is very slow.
2.Only one laser target :/
3.Pistol is crap.
4.People not informing you of their use of the GPS.
5.Only 15 bullets in the Sniper rifle.

My least favourite kit...Support

Pros.

1.Loads of ammo.
2.Can destroy Helicopters.
3.Mortar has potential to kill loads.
4.Free health.
5.Has frag grenades.

Cons.

1.Can't target a mortar whilst moving.
2.Move very slow.
3.People never let you heal them.
4.Mortar doesn't damage enough.

Sniper>Engineer>Assault>Spec ops>Support imo

I'll remember that

Some bugger did that to me yesterday, I had cleared all of flag 2 and I was taking the flag and then all of a sudden a grenade lands near my foot !

Sniper ***! Nothing demoralises a team better then a snipey, and the knowledge that a sharpshooter is lurking out there waiting to shoot their privates off

Its the only class I really enjoyed in the demo

Favourite kit: Special Ops

Pros:

1) The gun is brilliant + pretyt lethal in my hands

2) C4 - nuff said
3) The flash grenades are useful although I end up blinding myself half of the time
4) Zoom is handy for taking out camping snipers

Cons:

1) Your are screwed if you are up against a tank and he sees you before you have planted the C4
2) Flash grenades for the same reason above
3) Pistol - whats the point

Least favourite kit is:

Sniper

Pros:

1) Powerful gun, 1 shot kill
2) Laser target
3) GPS receiver
4) Smoke grenades

Cons:

1) Slow reload on the gun
2) No crosshair when not zoomed in
3) 1 Laser target only
4) GPS takes a year to reload
5) Smoke grenades can sometimes be a hinderange than useful

However over all of these I much prefer to be in the tank, although I prefer the chinese tanks to the US tanks. For some reason the US tank is slow and cumbersome yet no stronger than the chinease one.
