Hmm here are my impressions so far...
1) Tanks, gawd these are either banes or boons. On one hand the machine gun is nice if your well placed, mowing down a squad running across the beach is always fun. However, get 1 or 2 guys, or even 1 with an anit-tank and your history.
2) APC's. Super infantry killer if your the driver. What the hell is going on out there if your riding one of the many shotgun posotions. In my opinion the APC should only be driven by a good squad leader or driven alone.
3) Dune buggies. Anyone remember Zartan and the dreadnaughts from GIJOE? I feel like these guys, great transporation though.
4) Special forces. Very fun going behind enemy lines and blowing up radar stations and UAV's. You can even do it all by yourself. Just be sure to stay hidden so you can keep blowing up the radar station, wish you got more points for it. Plus there primary weapon is bad ass.
5) Sniping. I hated this at first. No 1 shot kill. If you pick a good spot though, countinually bug your commander for airdrops, and just be persistant about it, you can end up pretty damn high up on the scoreboard. I finished 1 game today doing nothing but sniping and ended up 3'd place on team, 65 overall points, 30+ kills. Tip: The hotel looks nifty but it isnt. No one ever runs from the beach to the hotel and you just cant see shit up there torawards teh center. Same witht eh crane.
6) Choppers, planes, medics, no comment at this time.
7) Squad leaders and commanders. I realize were still learning this but if you are going to be the squad leader listen to your guys in the unit and relay that info to the commander. Just hit caps lock and right click your mouse over the desired thing your squadmate is requesting. There should be no need to get on teamspeak and directly ask the commander, if its a warishell guy what you need. I did this and paid for it with my life. No Monos, the box didnt kill me, I was shot but an evil eavesdropper. :(
