I dont really agree with having a worst character. I mean theres a different character for each job.
Rocket officers seem like the worst guys, but in C&C_Under I headshot a total newb with one from my base, and the guy was on the highrock in the middle.
Cheap sydneys are actually quite good. They rack up points fast, and you dont have to actually hit the target since they do splash damage.
Flame troopers dont do alot of damage. Ive only made about 15 kills with a flame trooper total, and have died about 4 times at the hand of a flame thrower. BUT, in tunnels like field, under, and complex they are very useful, since you can make a smoke screen outta fire.
Chem troopers are way underrated. A well placed chem trooper can make smokescreens, and are perfect for early attacks on the harvester since they are immune to tiberium. Their weapon does alot of damage.
IMHO, the worst character is the Flame trooper. Not because they dont do damage and all that, but they arent sneaky, and arae easy to kill. A 20 foot stream of fire is enough to alert snipers to your presence, and since the flame has a definate shape to it, they can headshot you right through the flames. Up close, they are easy to kill, since they dont really do a lot of long lasting damage and cant see you very good in narrow spaces.

dude, if you get headshots with a flamethrower, close range.. the damage is hard.
only thing is, while attacking with a flamethrower your opponent'll probably retreat. you have to keep up with him, and against say, a ramjetter, you'll probably die by either running in a straight line at him or strafing and letting him evade your flame range to the point of negligable damage. the key to him is surprise and headshots. if you surprise a prone sniper, you'll get him to at least half health before he reacts. it's all about dynamics in the game. the job would be harder if nobody had any lag. your opponent's notice time of being attacked by you is delayed a bit, giving you time to deal more damage.
as for the tib sydney, surprise doesn't even work.. it's one of the game's secrets of challenge. you'll notice few people bring themselves to use her, and would rather use easy shooting units. then again, why pay $150 for something when you can do an easier job with $0?

spoonyrat | Useless characters:
tib sydney
|
Amen. I have tried and tried to find a situation where she is good but there really isn't one. GDI soldier/grenadier is just as effective and is free.
spoonyrat | Nod soldier (Nod engi is far better unless you wanna shoot down an orca and don't have any money... There are plenty of people who are awesome with a pistol or a GDI soldier, I can't name anyone who's frightening with a Nod soldier)
|
The 40% damage boost for GDI soldiers makes the Nod soldier useless. This is where shotguns become useful, for Nod at least.
spoonyrat | shotguns are also of little value.
|
This depends on the map.
spoonyrat | GDI soldier > Nod soldier by far, Grenadier > Flamethrower by far
|
No argument there. Grenadiers > a lot though.
spoonyrat | Chem troopers have a few (if not many) uses e.g. killing a harv at the start of a game on volcano, plus they are good against buildings.
|
Chem troopers hate vehicles a lot. They also hate people but the whole bulbous head and green suit negates their usefulness besides tunnel spam vs infantry. Decent defenders.
spoonyrat | I also don't rate the officer much.
|
Chaingun officers eat people for breakfast. Rocket officers are pretty useless though.

Trust me, I know this joy all too well. However, Gunner is better for GDI, and the LCG thinks rocket soldiers can go fuck themselves.

SuperMidget | IMO, i agree with the nod soldier as the WORST character to use, he is, by far, the weakest (in fact) unit to use. Lowest HP+Armour (obviously = to gdi and engees) and the LOWEST attack period.
|
I'd rather have a Nod Soldier than a Flamethrower in almost every situation. Arguably, I'd take him over a Tib Sydney most of the time as well, or a regular Rocket Officer.
