Trust me you will never see me crying about a "not fair" class. However you are right, there are going to be many people out there that do that because well they get owned by recon on the fact that there are some many of them, and not the fact that they will be over powered. I mean it goes into a percentage thing. Lets say 50% of the people play recon, out of that 50% there are 15% that are just RIDICULES, now lets say 20% play Medic and Assault, and 10% play Robotics, and again 15% of those people are ridicules at their class.  So out of a hundred people you are going to end up with 15 recon, 5 Medics and Assault, and 2.5 Robotics that are great players. The recon have more great players than the other three added up, which will help your class look over powered because people will get owned 3x more by a recon class than anything else. So you will never see me complain about an overpowered class... never have and never will, but you might see me yell at my Assault that my medic will be attached to about not killing you faster. I have see the nurf come to class that has been over played, but I have also seen them leave the most populated class alone because they pay the bill. So in the end the over population of recon could really help you in the end.

I see what your saying, and you may be right, but that sounds alot like the way MMORPGs work. This is going to be different, still an MMO, but an MMOFPS. Not sure how different, or how things will work, but I'm thinking that the balancing will be alright.

Considering that most people will be playing in 12v12 instanced skirmishes, your Percentages will be at work on a smaller scale, with less of a chance of happening. Not to mention that it's not like all the recon will be on one particular side, there will be recons fighting recons as well, it's not going to be as bad as you think. As for territories and Agency vs Agency battles, I have no idea, we'll just have to wait and see. Many people will roll recon, that's for sure. On the other hand, there will only be one main server that everyone will be playing on. So it's most likely that the population of classes will balance out (Some classes with more, and some with less of course). It depends on someones play style as well, Maybe people who say they'll play recon won't like it and switch to Robotics because they like it better. Et cetera

I'm thinking it won't be that bad, if your a good player, I'm sure classes will have some means of countering the pesky Recon. Even Recon vs Recon...


That's another reason why I wouldn't mind being assault. So I can be in the midst of the action owning some people, with a good medic to go with me of course. =D

Well I like Recon, Robotics and Medic, but I always liked to heal/assist others so Medic is a finalist to be my Main class, will create a Recon as well because I like its stealth and surprise way to do things hehe. You can be lethal when you master it, and can be so useful on missions, infiltration and so on.

VERY hilarious unless you're on the receiving end, I should know >.<

Are they OP or just gay? I find the concept interesting.

I think much of what people claim is OP at the moment stems from the limited testing experience and the forced PUGing.

Once players and Agencies can work together, I think the dynamics will really shift.

Exactly. I think I'll end up testing the waters on each class and deciding on what's going to be most valuable in most agency circumstances and going with that. As I understand it in PVP battles not many Recon are needed, and more robotics are. Also, where did you get your sig? I see numerous players with similar signatures and was wondering if I could get one made up!

I agree with others...I will have to wait until I can try them out.  Medic sounds very interesting though.  The ability to spec into the combat medic line for things like poison gas grenades sounds appealing....could be a good to disperse a dug in enemy...

...then again, a well placed assault mortar shell would probably also work
