Favourite Infantry class

[Arma-2-Guru 55]

Basically just put what type of Infantry unit you usually play as, e.g. Medic, Machine Gunner, Sniper etc.

I like playing as a Medic, just hide in a house until someone goes down then run out to get them :)

Automatic Rifleman, you missed that. But yeah usually I play AR :)

[Arma-2-Guru 55]

Isn't the Automatic Rifleman just the same as the Machine Gunner or is there a significant difference?

Medic ftw! :icon_mrgreen:

An AR would be a like a guy carrying an M249 SAW or the Minimi.

A Machine Gunner would usually reffer to a guy with a heavier weapon like a GPMG or a M2 .50 cal.

[Arma-2-Guru 55]

Aah, that's what I was missing.

Yeah Medics are cool, there's less danger aswell, more chance of survival, and if a squad-mate pisses you off you can choose not to heal him haha.

you'd missed the fac though ;)

[Arma-2-Guru 55]

What's the FAC Operators for? I've never used them.

Thought someone would've voted Sniper by now haha.

FAC - Forward Air Controller, basically directs air strikes and coordinates aircraft.

FO - Forward Observer, basically directs artillery strikes.

Btw, a USMC machinegunner in Arma2 is operating the 7.62 M240B. Too heavy to really run around with in MOUT conditions, but it is far better than the M249 SAW at some distance.

In Arma1/ACE, my definitive favourite was the scoped M240B, usually on tracer ammo. Scoped because on public servers there usually isn't enough teamplay so that an assistant can guide my fires.

In Arma2, it kinda depends on the situation. I always try to "play my class", unless the (public) server have too few players to support this. I don't pickup crated AT weapons if I'm a machinegunner, and I most certainly don't use the backpack cheat, err, system :). I don't really have a "favourite class", since my favourite mission (Domination) isn't too infantry friendly due to all its armor.

For more realistic missions though, I'd say SAW gunner for MOUT'ish combat, and machinegunner for the rest. But I really haven't played those much yet.

I mainly play Medic, otherwhise I'll be Squad Gunner or MachineGunner.

[Relemar 10]

Machine gunner = big fat heavy guns.

Automatic Rifleman (AR) = Big, sexy gun.

[Binkowski 25]

Rifleman. It's what I do in real life, and I love it.

[Arma-2-Guru 55]

Haha cool, being a Medic in a game is tonnes of fun but in real life it would be horrible patching up torn up soldiers, but someones got to do it.

[Windexglow 10]

Grenadier.

While pitching them off is difficult, the scope is what I mainly play it for.

[Beagle 684]

I like playing AT Soldier because this is the most versatile one.

[no use for a name 0]

There's nothing like taking out 5 or 6 guys in a 8+ man patrol with a SAW :D

OP forgot John Rambo. I'd be that. If that is not an option. Then AT-guy, as it's almost as good as Rambo... Mainly difference comes from fact that Rambo can rip off turret from tank with bare hands, while AT-guy needs crowbar.

Then again AT-guy probably can take more beer and women.

...

It would be though decision.

AT Sniper is the best :).

[Arma-2-Guru 55]

Quite a few voters, keep them coming ;)

[ajsarge 10]

As well as a FAC, you also forgot team/squad leader, pilot, and Crewman.

[tobmic 10]

Demolitions man ! I like explosions

[Arma-2-Guru 55]

I purposely didn't include Pilots or Crewmen because this is a poll for normal infantry, not someone who flies aircrafts, just the fighting infantry.

[ffur2007slx2_5 11]

Doubtless, sniper is the best killer!

[HitmanFF 6]

Grenadier. Nothing like clearing out houses and bunkers with a well placed grenade :)

[Arma-2-Guru 55]

Medic. It's the only time I feel useful :(
