troop classes, which one to choose?

[miniman]

when i get 2142 i don't know what class i'd be.

on 1942 im an engineer who uses mines and a rifle to kill people and im quite happy doing this.

any advice on what class would suit me best on 2142?

aren't the classes on 2142 basically the same as on 1942. Also isn't there something to do with how you can chose what armour you have?

Well there are 4 classes, support, assault, engineer and recon.
Now support get ammo pack to rearm team mates, you also get to unlock a heavy machine gun, a shot gun, a gun turret and other fun things.
Assault get to play with assualt rifles, thealso get a medi hub thingy to heal your friends and can unlock a defrib and rifle rockets.
Recon get demo packs, anti personel mines, a sniper rifle and a turn invible thing.
Lastly engineers mainly blow up vehicles with motion mines, vehicle repair thingy, anti air rocket, guided missle aand an unguided hard hitting blow-the-crap-outta-tanks-in-one-hit thingy.

I hope my amazing guide has helped you lots into choosing your class But either way, you get your unlocks pretty fast if you know what your doing so you can have unlocks in several classes, and also if you get NS then you get a free unlock with every NS award. Anyway hope to see you on 2142 soon

And in answer to the armour business is that you can chose before you spawn whether to wear light armour or heavy armour, heavy armour gives you more protection and light armour lets you sprint further but you might as well be wearing ntohing for all its worth as it offers no protection

I have to say Shotgunfun sumed that up pretty well then.

However he did not recomend you a class.

I would say for you Miniman you would have heck-loads of fun as rekon since you love your det-packs, and you also get a sniper rifel unlock or a machine gun unlock.

If you want either of these though you have to unlock 3 thingys before hand, so chose your path carefully and make sure it fits your playing style!

my favorite is recon because basically headshots are funny and they make people do cartwheels and flips. recon can also get a mediumly good heavy assault rifle. recon also get slightly better upgrades because they cannot get points for healing resuplying or repairing people. engineers are probably the best people to be on big maps with lots of vehicles, recon on maps with places to hide like tunis harbor and either assault or support depending on which one you like more on small maps.
to start off with though it is my recomendation to be a support
