as it stands the two default classes are the most powerful in the hands of a skilled user. I've been playing all the other classes and doing ok, but when I switch back to the basic ones the game becomes laughably more easy. If you're having trouble competing with soldier or ranger, it's a problem of your skill, not class balance.

thanks, jeeeeeesus this game is fucking FUN, and I've only played for two days and am just getting the hang of the movement.

soldier 100%, nothing sicker than when you pass another guy going complete opposite directions at like 200 and just nail that sucker out of the air as you pass.

lol like 50% of the players just play technician or whatever and just sit in the base, we had one obviously experienced guy take our flag and just do laps around the map for the entire 20minute match or whatever :/

Next game I just tried to follow his routes and got him a few times....nobody else even bothers to chase unless the carrier is going at like 110. I'm getting better fast.

I like how I can follow some peoples exact same routes who are going 180+ at times, and I'm just going like 130. I mean Christ, there must be some subtle shit I'm missing out on.

Anyways, I might actually pick up Infiltrator now that I think about it. I mean, Jumper is cool and all -- but Infiltrator is a bit of a mix up. I can definitely be a pain the ass for the enemy team in their base and shit. However, when the coin is in front of me, I know I'll just pick up Jumper anyways hehe. I can't resist that Boost skill.

Competitive in this game simply isnt possible now - hitscan is too strong. Every good player will be hitscanning, i guarantee it

Soldier and ranger both have v good hitscan weapons with the usual and are considered staples right now

Sentinel is ultimate hitscan

Pathfinder is the only decent capper (jumper kinda sucks compared to pathfinder right now) - mainly because of the grenade discjump

If you want to play chaingun, you pick raider (ultra high DPS SMG with fast projectile)

All other classes arn't really worth playing as they lack hitscan weapons, or the above classes have better versions of those hitscan weapons (juggernaught, doombringer, brute(lol), infiltrator, scrambler, technician etc.)
All projectile's in this game are currently SHIT except the discgun
The grenade launcher is OK, same for the ranger's thumper. Their main weapon is the SMG's (which can kill a heavy in less than 1/2 a second)
