What do find yourself doing most, enjoying most? What role feels the most like you?

Personally, although I stink at this game in general, I try to tilt and rearrange the battlefield for my team as an infiltrator scout. I hack, drop uplinks, and get killed as little as possible. Occasionally, I get a kill, but it sure ain't my strong point.

I don't know that I've really found my role. I play logi, but I always seem to see things that should be done and no one else is doing them, so I do that. This usually gets me out of synch with my squad and team, meaning I die a lot and am probably not really being effective, but if I see we should be retaking an objective in Skirmish I run over there drop some links and try to retake it, if we need a heavy to defend a point I do that. Most of the time my squad and team seem to think it is more important to be somewhere else. An individualist logi isn't much of a role, but I guess that is what I am.

I hear you fellow bloodthirsty logi bro. I often look around and ask myself, "Why am I the only pushing up on the objective?". Clearly I was born to be an assault but with so few people on the field running log now someone has to do it.

My favorite is lighting up the battlefield like a Christmas tree in my throwaway scanner Gorgon. Or running shotgun scout without cloak and being amazed at how many people I can kill were oblivious.

Heathen Bastard The Bastard Brigade 1193	Posted - 2014.04.06 05:11:00 - [65] - Quote overwatch/backline push/chaos agent(basically scout who sprints around the field hacking anything I can get alone time with for more than a second to screw with the enemy the other two are commando/scout, but I like the commando more since I actually fit my scout as a scout, not a light assault FOTM chaser with a shotgun.) and most likely to be forcibly placed on anti-psychotics. If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.
Rusty Shallows 1430	Posted - 2014.04.06 05:52:00 - [66] - Quote On this Toon In Skirmish I play an Opportunist. If the squad Leader doesn't have any specific instructions I go cruising in the LAV. Preferably with someone. Try to snag out-laying enemy hack-points or counter attack them trying to take ours. Hunt snipers who have left the red-line, kill people sight-seeing/hiking outside the pertinent combat zones, dance with HAVs , hang with red or blue Dropships, etc, etc. Everything you'd expect from Death-Race 514.

Occasionally, I get a kill, but it sure ain't my strong point. That's exactly my playstyle too. I'll change suit to suit the flow of battle and take on more of a slayer role if necessary (though poorly), but shaping the battle space is my preference. Knowledge is power

Those that face off against a superior foe and don't run have only themselves to blame Guardian Shadow helps those that help themselves - i.e if you see me running away try to keep up.

I hack, drop uplinks, and get killed as little as possible. Occasionally, I get a kill, but it sure ain't my strong point. I pretty much just go with the flow. If we are getting murdered by vehicles, I try AV (which means a sica w/ railguns or a scout with remotes. actual AV isn't worth it) If we have no uplinks I run a logi. If it seems like we have a balanced team, and we are out in the open, I run assault or commando. If it is a slug fest, I run sentinel. If we are getting stomped then scout. Fixing swarms

Victor889 The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 70	Posted - 2014.04.06 09:27:00 - [75] - Quote I try and support the team but I mostly run heavy/HMG. I start out with a scout, drop some uplinks, hack some objectives, when I die I change to suit, bring the ammo, proximity explosives, point defence or Forge gun for vehicles. You just gotta be versatile. Part time Logi, Full time heavy.
