Grenader by far....

How so? They are the only free unit that can take out a building, they can kill infantry in a few shots if you know how to use them, in field and complex they are great. Also own for taking out the harv on any map.

I'd say grenadiers are one of the BEST. Far superior to flamers, great for getting cash at the start of the game by killing harv or grenading a building. Let's say the map's Field. if you grenade the strip or kill the harv, you can get a med much quicker and take the field early. If you DONT, Nod will take the field with arties and light tanks and stuff before you have the chance, which is bad for GDI

Actually, that should be one of the easiest characters to do damage with- good range, good damage, rapid refire(the fastest for a medium-long range splash damage weapon), and you don't even need a direct hit. When your aim isn't so good it's nice to know that you can still get some hurt in by shooting the ground near their feet.
Of course, most people would rather miss completely while trying for headshots than do less damage per shot by shooting somewhere easier to hit.
I still think the free flamethrower is the worst. Short range, and outfitted with protection(fire suit) that only works against its own weapon. Completely outclassed by chem sprayer.

It annoys me when on the occasion I buy a chemical troop who gets owned long range by a standard soldier because of his large helmeted head, the dude brags about the kill. Flamethrowers are actually less likely to be killed than chemical soldiers. And chem guys are so bright green and easy to see too. So out of place in a war game.

oy old posts ARE back i see, well the grenades rule ive found that out, the tib auto rifle does too, if u know how to use it, (fire at large groups in beggining of a game when the opposing team has alot of basic infantry, or fire at feet) flamers suck, except against basic infantry, rocket soilders good, though, in close quarters as well as against buildings, shoot at tanks and u will be dissappointed tho, maybe u could hit a mamm or arty at medium range, pics suck, the rav owns, aye i dont like mob and mendozas, but yes they rule

PICs suck but Railguns don't? Dude, they're practically the same damn thing with a different model. If one sucks, so does the other.
Either way, how does a medium-long range, high damage, instant-hit weapon suck?

omg u guys, the grenadier is the urst of course! rocket officer is terrible, and dont even touch that freggin soilder, get the shotgunner or engy!
well, there are special circumstances with the grenaider/soilder, but in the above post about sydney, im actually quite good with them, the autorifle is a strong, antiinfanty weapon that takes ALOT of usage to master
not TOO bad on tanks either
i like the chem warrior best though,
Good topic!

Grenadiers are Awsome support considering they are free.....good for taking out buildings and good for taking out slower vehicles when going against a stank just keep circling and shooting not that hard to take out.....then i guess you have to worry about the driver after you kill the tank but that part is up to you

I value the PIC more than the railgun... mainly because I use them in conjunction with a vehicle (APC or light tank)... my APC/PIC will wipe the floor with any Nod vehicle, whereas my Light Tank/Rav won't necessarily beat a med

The beef with the PIC, raingun and sniper rifle is that they don't take into account travel time. In modern games, you need to judge how far ahead of the target you shoot (usually a little) for the bullet to connect in the short time of travel. In Renegade, you can point your cursor at someone, fire a PIC shot at them in which the beam so obviously missed, but it kills them anyway because your cursor was on target at the time you clicked. And when you fire a shot ahead of them, which should connect at the perfect time and kill, it does nothing because the reticle wasn't on-par at the time of click.

Yeah I agree. The only time you would possibly need to shoot ahead of the target which (I have on occasion) is when you are on a map like CnC Death Islands (I think that's it) trying to shoot all the way across the map. But then, I was outa range! 
When in battle, ALWAYS watch your back... so I can hit you from the front! GOD BLESS THIS NATION!!!

I personally find that the worst character is the sydney(tiberian rifle), with such low cost though and the added health it is okay but dodgin the tiverian rifle can be quite easy and the tiberian doesn't keep damaging much afterwards.
Grenadiers own, they are the only free character that are good against infantry, vehs and buildings to a substantial degree.
Flamethrowers are okay because they can take out an enemy harvester by themself, if they use all their fire, timed c4, and don't get killed before unloading everything. That an if you flame a gdi infantry in the head for about 6 milliseconds they keel over, however, that only happens with noobs and people who are typing.
Rocket soldiers are fine in the sense that they can take out buildings from a distance that the grendier can't. which is good on some maps.

Just wait till the new levels come out, the rocket soldier will actually be useful on levels like city, shooting afar at enemy vehicles and tracking them.
Deathgod: By leading the targets you'll only be anticipating when to shoot. The system in Renegade doesn't allow sniper rifles or railgun/PICs to track; the shot only hits if the reticle was red at the time you clicked.

Grenadier, I find them pants against infantry, but great against everything else, giving them a rifle would be cracking 
Shotgunner, possibly because I'm awful with slow repeat weapons.
Paid soldier, my brother says Rav, but I find him amazing with tanks. I say Mobius and Mendoza, but only because I have the wrong hands for them..
No flashy signature..
