Mine is sneeker but the grunt is really good too. The sneeker because of the dagger and the snooper thing but sometimes it is hard to land the decapitaiting combo.

While there is no best class because they all have unique strengths and weaknesses and are generally balanced, I prefer the Grunt (I'm a sucky sneeker with about 6 head chops out of 60 total Sneeker kills). The Grunt upgrade weapon is amazing, they are relatively hardy, they can heal themselves and others, they are relatively fast, their primary grenade is the best in the game, and they haved a very good vehicle. I like the Thermophile as well.

Bah, Long Ranger fo' life!

I like the sight of brains.

i like long rangers for a challenge and grunts cuz they r fun to be adn can kill anybody remotly fast

Long Rangers are the most satisfying, there's nothing quite like seeing someones brains go flying. If you can master it, it's actually quite enjoyable.

Oh it's my best class oh I thought it was the best class.

My best class is the Thermophile as their grenades are immense they have two modes for the flamethrower they are immune to CJ gas and can heal themselves.

I'd say I'm a bit better than average with a Long Ranger (mostly because I was a sick sniper in Halo 2) and it sure as Hell is satisfying, but I don't think Long Rangers are quite as useful as the other classes.

Long rangers are useful it's just so damn hard. 2x zoom isn't enough most of time. And it misses most the time

Even really good Long Rangers I've seen havn't been useful. They never get the most kills, and they always end up killing people who don't need to be killed. Their main purpose is taking out vehicles and providing some support for other more useful classes. Because I know that they are easily the best class for killing vehicles which they can do from across the map in one shot to most vehicles. Unseen death and explosions!

I've gotten most kills many times...

Plus, if you're a good Long Ranger, all of your kills are head shots (or at least should be) so all of them are +10 CP.

Yes, but many types of kills that don't involve intense concentration are +10 CP. Such as using a Hogster. I mean, all you do is press the trigger in the general direction of someone and you get +10 CP, maybe even more than 1 kill at a time. Strange how something like killing somebody with a Grunt's normal weapon (takes skill) gets you 5 CP while the Hogster which takes 10% of the skill gets you 10 CP. Does this have to do with how gorily you killed someone?

Not at all, but I consider the long ranger the most fun. Usually there's another sniper on the map, and me and him go at it for most of the round, and when I finally kill him there's no feeling like that.

But you are right, Long Rangers don't serve a purpose in the actual objectives. A Long Ranger isn't going to go and try to capture the flag, it'd be suicide. We provide cover for other players. And for the record, a charged up DU Bullet does a pretty good job busting down barriers.

Well, in the objectives with barriers, Long Rangers absolutely destroy those. I've actually done it all by myself before. TIP: If you are some amazing sniper never switch off of DU tips because a headshot with a DU tip still kills in one hit. Believe me, I've done it by accident. But if you're the body shot type, use 7.62 mm.

Yes, but what you don't know is that when you fire DU tips it makes a big flash. Which kinda gives you away.

I like the Sneeker for stealthy operations,
and Grunts for hard-core mayhem. The Long
Ranger has a VERY powerful weapon; he has
double .45 cal magnums when you upgrade him.
These are devastating in close combat,
especialy if you get a couple of 'em planted
in a guy's head. Do NOT underestimate the
Long Ranger!
