Yeah. I'm just stick with what I have now. Basically this.

I'm personally going light for operative, here's why:

playing TF2 - the easiest way to spot a spy (for those who don't play TF2 it's just like operative in terms of disguising and going behind enemy lines) is to look for someone running the wrong way. If your team is rushing on a point and you see someone on your own team, a soldier or heavy, running toward you and your base, it's not hard to train yourself to fire first and assume later. I could imagine it would be harder getting BEHIND the enemy if your character can only really run at them on the ground. I think a light type operative opens up the door to use parkour moves to get around their base faster (I remember seeing a few videos where there seems to be a lot of places only lights can get to.).

Also once you fire that first shot your disguise is gone. I think that's done purposefully so you can't just run behind enemy lines and mow everyone down while you're disguised. It seems the class is more for hit and run or for sneaking into a base to find an objective.

The spy's invisiibilty is the lights parkour(ibility). :spotted owl:

You could. You might be wanting for Ammo Capacity and Damage though. Honestly that decision can only be decided after you play and get a feel for which you like more.


Isn't their no friendly fire in TF2? Haven't played in like 2 years so I can't remember. But if there isn't that kind of works against you in Brink as there is always FF so Shot First/spy Later is...less effective.

eeeexactly

I would like to have a word with you about being strictly light, just look at the skills without a ninja mentality and you'll see what I mean. :spotted owl:

Point.


Personally the only reason I AM running a light Op is so I can have access to the parkour moves. being an Operative has nothing to do with it. Tactically it makes sense that the Op be the most maneuverable, but none of the abilities are affected/affect movement in anyway. So if it weren't for the fact that I can't do everything I'd probably go with a medium Op.

Soldiers actually have a small advantage in combat once you get the kelvlar and armour piercing rounds. If you want to be a slayer, pick soldier.

I would stick to SMGs and pistols because rifles have very limited ammo compared to SMGs so if your loneowlfing it you want as much ammo as possible.

Srsly, if you pick Medium, AR is the way to go for a primary. Great at all ranges, with the most diverse array of attachments.

A suppressed shotgun would be most effective. While infiltrating enemy lines, you'll mostly be taking out enemies from behind. When you are doing this, you want to kill your target as fast as possible so they're dead before they can retaliate.

If you're good with high-damage weapons, and you're going for Medium, I'd say Shotgun/Light Rifle is ideal.

Whatever you're doing, though, if you're Light Op, or if you're Medium and planning on stealthing a lot, you need EVERYTHING silenced. ALWAYS.

(I could be wrong, but that's how I'll be playing. EVERYTHING is silent when I'm Light)

Nope, I concur. Unless you plan on playing the commando/berserker type, then you really will be wanting to keep concealed.

Light rifles with powerful scopes. Take out retreating people from afar.
Hack the hell out of turrets and spot mines, and remember to use silencers.
Pistol is a nice secondary just because of it's fast switch and reload time - aim for the head though for maximum damage.

Light body is a recommended BUT I don't see the big down side for choosing a medium body.

Don't get assault rifles. Your job is still to be sneaky not make a big chaos.
If you like assault rifles stick with the Soldier class.

Are you serious? ARs can equip suppressors, yenno. With that in mind; they're powerful, accurate, reliable at any range and QUIET. Put a COGA on it, and you have a weapon that can compete with the Long Rifles for ranged capabilities in the right hands. As far as I can tell, they're only outclassed by SMGs in the mag capacity department, CQC effectiveness and overall size. Tbh, AR/SMG on Medium will probably be my first Operative setup.

I heard that there is a huge difference between soldier and operative, i think you should just stay with soldier.
From what i heard the operatives are very inefficient in combat while the soldiers are extremely efficient, it just makes sense!

I ended up going with Soldier anyway.

Can a light Operative use long rifles?
