Played 4 hours of Desert Combat on a server tonight. At first I didnt like the new engineer. But I grew to love the combination of repairman, medic, and demolitions expert. I think the main thing was learning to play defense after halo 2 taught me to saturate people with fire. Which is cool, but Desert Combat can be a different animal.

Engineer in BF1942 gets mines, grenade, the n04 which rul3z all. Nothing bit, but the repair function makes them valuable tank commanders.

Engineer in Desert Combat can just about do it all, and on maps with mortars available to the engineer, oh my. Talk about handy.

Wish I remember what server I was on, it was great 2 hours of combat.

Engineer in any Team Fortress based mode, Medic in Enemy Territory and overall light classes with special functions (engy, medic, recon...)
Being useful to people instead of fighting on the front line is great.

 

[MrAngryFace]

exactly. Frontline doesnt mean crap if the house isnt in order.

I haven't played many Online FPS's, but one I did enjoy was Team Fortress Classic (the Half-life mod). And I always preferred to play as a spy. It was so hilarious to dress myself like an enemy and run over to the opponent's sniper spot. And when nobody was watching, I faked death and just lied there until someone came by and starting sniping. That's when I jumped up and killed them from behind with my knife. Good times, especially when I did it on the more "hardcore" snipers who got pissed off. :lol

Haha yeah, spy class in TFC is one of the classics. You had to be smart.

Too bad the spy was useless in TFC, the gas gren sucks big time. Spy owned in TF and in Q3F though.

The spy was entertaining, and that made him useful
