Flexible Classes In Star Wars: The Old Republic

Of all the classes in Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR), The Bounty Hunter of the Empire is considered to be one of the most versatile classes in the SWTOR Universe.

The Bounty Hunter of the Empire specializes in being able to take a lot of damage while at the same time can deal out a lot of damage. The Bounty Hunter's weapons consist of flamethrowers, lasers, missiles and bombs. But there are many more. The Bounty Hunter is really an all around character that might actually rival a Jedi Knight and the Sith Warriors. Certain missions are attainable depending on how you build your character - there are many choices on building, it just depends on which missions you want to prepare for.

There are two areas of primary specialization, which are: Powertech and Mercenary. Powertech is strong on defense tactics, shielding, high-powered flamethrowers, and very thick armor. It is these specializations that make them strong in conquering large mobs.

The Mercenary has his own specialization, which is a bit different because it focuses more on tons of firepower, heat seeking missiles and blasters. It has strong armor like the Powertech. Try to use flight when possible because it gives much versatility while attacking the opposite teams. Choose your weapons well and plan of attack accordingly. You will be able to combine flight with missiles in order to stay away from melee classes. This way you won't be sitting there to get caught off guard, instead you will have an overhead view and can see down from above to see what is going on.

It is vital to understand your Class' weakness and strengths in building a strong character. Be careful about putting skill points in the wrong areas, as this will make a difference later on in your endeavors.

One of the most popular Classes will be the Jedi Knights, due to its popularity from the big screen, and it is also one of the most powerful classes in all of The Old Republic. Countless people have wielded a make belief light saber and dreamed of being a Jedi Knight. Jedi Knights are great at taking and fighting off blows from their opponents. They are also great for going solo and taking on the Sith Warrior's. I will go further into detail on the reasons a beginner would like to take on the character of a Jedi Knight, in a future article.

Battlefield 3 Classes

The new classes in Battlefield 3 merges the 7 classes that were available in Battlefield 2. The four classes in Battlefield 3 are going to be support, engineer, recon, and assault. In Battlefield 2 you had a medic class but it was hardly ever used, mainly because you didn't get any additional points for doing your task and the weapons were inadequate to defend yourself. The assault class is now the new medic, and it includes a new feature where you can remove your defibrillator and add a grenade launcher attachment instead. So now you are able to customize each class anyway you want. In previous FPS like Black Ops and Bad Company 2, when you see a player that needs to be resurrected, you can go up and revive the player whether they like it or not. In Battlefield 2 the player had a choice whether if they wanted to be revived or not, which gave them a chance to change class; this feature will be brought back in Battlefield 3. Also the defibrillator will have a longer wait time before you can revive someone again, in Bad Company 2 there were too many people being revived left and right which became really annoying.

The support class will have the ability to give out extra ammo to players who need it, and, like in previous Battlefield games, will have heavier guns like the PKM, which holds more ammo and packs more firepower than a regular assault rifle. They have also included a bipod on these weapons so that when you lay prone you'll have better accuracy when firing.

The engineer class will have the same features in Battlefield 3 like they did in Bad Company 2, anti-tank equipment, and the ability to repair vehicles. Recon will be the new sniper class, which will have team based features on it rather than having players selfishly snipe enemies from afar, but there isn't enough info on this class yet.

Battlefield 3 will include squad leaders like in Battlefield 2, and it will be a 4 man squad. Squad leaders will have the chance to create the squad and the ability to respawn someone at your location. So it is really important for the leader to stay alive and to have your team support you in order to advance through objectives.

Overall they are really making the classes team based so that you work together to accomplish objectives, instead of running around trying to get the most kills. We can expect more features to come as we get closer to the release date. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes revealed at mw3vsbf3.com
