The following are some of the best character classes. Chem Soldier The chem soldier can single handly take out a building. Just plant your c4 and spray the MCT like heck I almost destryed a War Factory like this but my own c4 killed me. Stealth Trooper The stealth trooper is onw of Nod's best classes. BUT BEWARE he is ONLY good if htere is no base defenses. Sydney (150) She is good in all areas. BUT BEWARE she is only good in the right hands. Patch I think patch is one of the best characters if your setting a beacon. Patch is really good against infantry ONLY if you are shooting there head. Ok... All the characters are good but you NEED to know how to use them. A newb who is a mobius wiht a beacon is not going to do as much as a experienced player will with a beacon and a officer.

A couple of notes... SBH is good even with base defenses. He can still steal tanks, he can still ride in an APC with a beacon and get past the defenses, or he can sneak behind the harvester and get into the base that way. You forgot to mention Hotwire/Technician, which IMHO is the best class in the game.

Oh i thought tha was a given... fine... Hotwire/Tehcnician While they seem to be hopless the Auto Pistal they carry is devastating of a shot to the head. BUT it is best to have an escort so that the HW/TECH can place the mines wiht ease.

You're a n00b. I'll let the others explain why. Also, 'ONLY if you are shooting there head.' Remember, their is possession. There is a place. It should be 'ONLY if you are shooting their head.' Spend less time playing games and learn how to write English properly.

I think a ridiculous problem of the pistol is that the first time you draw the pistol, it needs to be reloaded first! How can a soldier bring out a weapon to the battle without fully loading it first? Of course you can say that I should have drawn that weapon first in the base and then go out. But that is impractical and ridiculous. [ May 16, 2002: Message edited by: hardWorker ]

Yeah, that's strange. In multiplayer practise the pistol is loaded. quote: Originally posted by hardWorker: I think a ridiculous problem of the pistol is that the first time you draw the pistol, it needs to be reloaded first!

I think you should add Gunner into the list. Once in a game I kill 17 Nod in tunnel on the map field and only died twice in the whole game. One of the death is at the beginning when I was in tunnel using soldier.

Don't forget to use 0 cost units. Engy, flamer and (i dont know the exact word in english) the GDI grenade guy (grenader ?) are very very efficient. - First obviously they cost nothing So you can waste them at will on suicide mission. - U can make a lot of damage (= score and money) with them on people, vehicle and buildings. - And when u r killed the enemy's score increase only by 1 or 2 pts ... I hate the 1000 bucks characters They re useful but not so powerfull and I love to kill them with 0 cost units. For instance I love to hunt the sidney (pic version) with a 0 cost flamer If sidney kill me, i don't care i just come back with another 0 cost flamer and soon my score increase by 100 ! On field, sometimes as GDI i use only the grenade guy and attack the airstrip during the whole game !!!! My money goes in vehicle for my team, i don't need it... The Nod team is soon bored, because they there will be this foking grenade guy coming everytime... They place mines, sniper, laser chaingunner, MA, but lol the grenade guy is here again damaging the airstrip !!! So they try to convince me :"n00by when will u stop that ? When will u learn from that ? I killed u many times..." "Yes u killed me many times, but look at the scores : my team wins."

and anyway , syndney and patch's bullets go so slowly, you dont exactly need to be Neo to dodge them. And when i am technician and a big powerful soldier attacks me i just stick proximity mines close to him. It does a lot more damage to him than me, for some reason. No fooling around with pistols. you can also stick c4 to a buggy and roll upto a tank and boom, both go up in a flash of smokeI love kamikaze

Definate n00b, as aircraft said. Im sick of the n00bs liking patch because he his a jinky little tiberium gun oooh wow. Patch is a overpriced peice of crap, officers: 1. Do the same damage to infantry 2. Only has 50 less health 3. costs 275 less, 275!!!!!! You want a good 2nd level character? Try the blackhand chainlaser n00bs......

You're all forgetting the shotgunner. He's the best free character for defense or for base infiltration, as he deals out the death with reckless abandon. And I also nominate Gunner as best on GDI, his rockets kill people in one hit with head or upper body shots, they own buildings, and they do decent vs. vehicles as well. He's probably the best character cost-wise for sheer destructive power.

No, best cost-wise for sheer destructive power is the chemwarrior. While he doesn't have the range of Gunner, he can take out a building relatively fast and he does a whole lot of damage to all targets. He also has a continous stream of fire that's hard to avoid once you get too close unlike Gunners rockets which are easily avoided at most ranges.

I nominate Flame Thrower as the best free class infantry. It destory a building by one and the range and the fire power is better than the shotgun. An other plus flame thrower is better than the shotgun is flame can travel through wall and kill the men hiding behind it.

I nominate snipers, because they strike fear into the hearts of enemies, and I hate them. When the other side knows that there are good snipers camping outside waiting to boink them, they hide; letting their enemies build up armor to siege them.
