I think almost all characters are good, but only in the right hands. For example I can't handle a sniper.The Characters I find they're the best, are: Black Hand(all) Chem. Trooper Sydney(Lv.3) Officer Adv. Engineers My Opinion...

Isn't Nod's sniper called a Black Hand? --> Contradiction...

For nod the best units are the stealth black hand. (cause i like nukin bases) the 1k sniper (although i need alot more practice with sniping) and raveshaw cause he rocks those dumbasses that like to camp outside ur base. For gdi i like patch(or whoever has the tib fechet gun) cause hes the best ion cannon infantry, gunner cause he rocks in tunnels and against buildings, havoc, and the 1k sidny (or however her name is spelled)

i have to say snipers are the best. Its so funny when you see n00b snipers. if they get lucky and kill me, they stay in the same place and are easily killed. The 1000 credits snipers are the best by far> Can take out mrls/art, and aircraft easily. free soldiers, one shot on kill, and most of teh time for me, i can kill everyone with one shot, sometimes i need two. Hardly ever more then that. So jump away, cause ill still get you.

My favorite class... the basic infantry unit. Weapon is reasonably accurate and has a decent range. Expendable since he's free, so you can jump on the mines to clear the way for your C4 carrying hotwire/engineer teammates. Heck.. if I managed to knock a sniper's health down to half with a free unit before getting killed, I consider it a win for me since I gained a lot more points off them than they did off me. The free engineer is great too, for obvious reasons. Nod's chain laser black hand unit is probably one of my favorites and fits a similar purpose as Patch. And Patch certainly does do more damage to infantry than an officer and he has more health/armor. I like to use Patch to accompany Gunners in tunnels. You can assist with the building attack (Patch does a decent amount of damage to buildings for infantry) as well as defend them if any enemies come around. Anyway.. the free units are my favorites since you can have fun without worrying about getting killed. Suicidal C4 body-lobbing, for instance.

best class is either laser chaingunner, SBH, or in GDI's case, havoc or PIC sydney. PIC sydney has the range to knock out snipers, and one shot, head or chest, means death to any character. If you have good aim, then she's the best use for your 1000. Besides, most tanks and aircraft don't last long against the PIC. If you have not-so-great-aim or a tone of lag, it's better to sit back with a havoc and zoom in to make it all but like a point-blank shot. From far away, where lag is scarce, it's not as hard to get a good hit. A laser cg-er is the best all-around infantry...good range, good accuracy, good punch...it can kill vehicles faster than a rocket launcher, and deals near-instant doom to any infantry with a quick burst. A SBH is wonderful for those more laggy times. It is very precise, has a decent fire rate, plenty of ammo, can knock out light vehicles, slip c4 on some unsuspecting sniper's rear, stand in vantages sniping from decent range, as shots arrive instantly, and a quick burst gets a kill for a headshot, and not many people look for that shimmer in the middle of a raging fight. Also, they are THE BEST beacon planter in the game. You can plant a beacon, and lure some engies in for easy kills on unsuspecting targets-getting even more points. That's just my opinion, for the little amount that's worth.

Mobius/Mendoza. Excellent close-quarters, but drawing too much attention...depending on situation, might be a good thing. Mendoza zaps tanks while SBHs slip in to whatever destination is required.

Hotwires/Technicians obviously take the cake as they are the most critical infantry units in the game, as they carry prox. C-4, and have the ability to repair and destroy. Engineers also work, albiet a shoddy performance vs. thier more advanced counterparts. I don't think I need to go into specifics as anyone with half a brain will understand why they are the best class. All the other classes serve thier specific purposes, and comparing them is difficult. For sniping, some prefer the 500cred. snipers over the 1000cred. ones, I know I do, as the Pierce doesn't betray your location, and a head shot will still kill anyone instantly. The Ramjet is far more effective anti-material wise, but demands you stay close to friendly lines so you don't get singled out. If you use the Pierce, you can often(at least I can) sneak right up close and personal, and knock off the 1000cred. characters hiding behind friendly lines. It's all personal preference though. Take the Black Hands, thier all great, best sniper, best anti-tank/anti-personal, and of course the invisible variaty, which of course means I don't have to explain why thats a good thing  However, I love using Patch, he's an awsome up close and personal shooter, with decent health. Gunner hauls in good hands, in tunnels and out, and Deadeye's got the Pierce. If I indulge I use the 1000cred. snipers, although anytime I use a 1000cred. character, I feel there's a price on my head, whereas with a middle class character I'm not a prime rib waiting to get served. I like ALL the guns So many ways to kill people, so few minutes in a game

why hasn't anyone said the PIC?(Personal Ion Cannon) That is so kewl, escially on maps like hourglass, you can kill any infantry in one - three shots, and take on vehicals, only people like laser chain gun give you any trouble. Of course you have to have good aim, but if im ever GDI, I usually buy the PIC PIC - the best

Flame thrower or Chem Warrior. Cheap do loads of damage to infantry tanks and buildings. 1 flame thrower or chem warrior can take out a building alone. Chem warrior can suprise the enemy by running accross tiberium field that normally is reserved for tank to go pass. Espeically in volcano and mesa. The best part is the flame can travel accross wall with good range. I have fraged a Deadeye in tunnel while he hide behind and got grilled to death. It is at least 3 times cheaper than LCG BH and do more damage to building & infantry and about the same to tank.

PIC/ion cannon infantry/Prototype Assault Suit and Raveshaw have been mentioned about 3-4 times. If you're used to low firing rates (playing MOHAA using a bolt-action weapon under heavy fire) you might do a bit better with it.

Just another thing to add the PIC, it may take awhile, but you can destroy buildings with them, just sneak in and shoot the mtc, I did this on the wolf servers, i threw my c4 on the mtc, then shot it with PIC, but this guy kept trying to kill me, but with my good aim i always killed him in 1 shot and destroyed the buildling with 3 ammo left LOL

not many ppl have mentioned grenadiers, they can take out a building by themselves and still have almost a clip left! u gotta put ur c4 on the mct and shoot the mct w/ the grenegade launcher.the grenades have to hit mct.

grenades are also good against low-flying air vehicles. IF you can time/angle it just right, it does about as much damage as a rocket would, and there's more in a clip. Try posting yourself on the skysc****rs in City_Flying, as the aircraft almost always go below the top of the building(to avoid the AGT) When they start hovering to fire on the barracks, let loose a rain of death. Best to have 2-3 up there.
