Is there anyone that plays the assault class more often than any other?

I have been lately, and I find I get my best scores with it. I really like the M16 so I used the medic for a long time but all the healing and reviving only distracted me from killing.

I use the assualt the most for a long time. just look at my profile...

I have not used it as much since the last patch though.
I loved the f2000, but now the grenade luanchers suck, I never used them on infantry at close range like some whores. But now its practically useless against tanks. use to be able to hold your own against them with it.

I been playing support more lately. PKM... or when I do play assualt its back to the G3

I like the assault class for CQB, as those guns do the most damage to soldiers, but it seems like all its good for is killing people. I use Spec Ops / Sniper / AT most of the time, as those kits give you some kind of distinct role or special weapon. Whenever I spawn knowing shit is hitting the fan, I either need C4 or teh tube to blow shit up, or claymores to defend flags.

As I said, I play assault for the M16. I dont have the expansion set so I cant get the G36E. 3 Round burst is the best.

Spec Ops, not Assault, was originally intended to be the "standard" infantry class in BF2, which is why it's the first on the spawn list.  Of course C4 proved way too strong against other soldiers and it's subsequently been nerfed a bit.  As for Assault, the kit certainly has its moments.  If used properly, the "tactical distraction" equipment (smoke grenade, flashbang) can make the kit better than even shotguns or LMGs in close quarters.  But even without them, a G3 at near point-blank is devastating enough.

The medic kit is supposed to distract you from the killing side, as is the Engineer kit. These are the kits which have a different purpose from the other kits. As a medic you are suppose to be looking at healing and reviving before you even think about killing, and as an enginner you should be looking to fixing the assets and your armour.

This is why there are soo many bad medics in the game!! you are all too busy thinking how it is affecting your kill / death ratio!!

The game isnt all about killing people! try playing a 64 player Karkand, mashtuur city or sharqi peninsula, and only looking at healing or reviving. I played a 64 mashtuur city map, killed 5 people, got killed 4 times, and won the gold medal at the end of the round because i had 65 team points for doing the medic job.

I have historically played Assault more than all the other classes by a large margin.  Sniper is my second favorite, but that's when I'm in the mood for tactics and stealth rather than brute force.  Recently I've been playing other classes about half the time as I get better at the game and can understand what is NEEDED for the team rather than what I WANT to play.  The G3 is my favorite weapon, and I like to be in the fray so to speak.  But when I notice there is a paucity of supplies being dropped, or that our arty is getting hosed and noone is repairing it, etc., I will change classes when I get killed to help out.  I don't play medic much at all since everyone else does.  There is seldom a need for more medics.

You are gonna have to cite references here bud.... just ain't gonna believe it. Uh-uh. Nope. Just look at BF1942.
PS: I play Assault more than any other because I'm all about getting the job done.

I played Assault a lot before patch 1.2 and i wasn't n00b t00ber , i used GL only if it was necessary.
But this patch made such strange video effects (such as barrel smoke from GL) and this grenades , that sometimes bounces and sometimes no... so i  play it no so often ... it was may favorite class , but now medic\support is more usefull
As assault i use defolt weapons , they are better then unlocks , especially F2k .

It is my kit of choice - recently obtained both my Expert Badges. Whilst the kit has nothing left for me to really go after now I've acheieved the "highest rating", I find I select it without realising, and also when I'm heated up and I want to deal some payback.

I love what they have done with the Grenade Launcher. It has nerfed all the n00bs and only the skilled use the thing now. (Being in the top 2000 for the Grenade Launcher and top 3000 for Assault myself after only 4 months of playing, I feel validated by this.)

Too many people whine about what has been done to the Assault kit. I reckon it was for the better. I had to re-learn how to use the kit, but I feel it's better than ever now. I can still kick ass with it.

i play spec ops 99% of the time in matches.. i believe they are the most well balanced soldier out there.
the bread and butter of spec ops is c4... if i am under heavy fire i run to a stairwell or narrow hallway, place c4, near it so they dont see it.. when i see them: boom there dead.. it always works all the time.

Everyone will agree that the spec ops rifle like the g36 series is deadly accurate. problem is that they dont have the stopping power of an assult rifle. i have seen assult take 6-8 rounds to the chest without being dead.. i know that armor helps alot.. so i try to shoot from a consealed position ---"aka pseudosnipe"..

I have used assault more than any other kit as it used to be the most effective towards ALL enemies (on foot or in vehicles).  That was pre-patch.  Now it seems that the support is the NEW assault kit.  Why would anyone choose assualt when the support guns are more accurate and deal more damage.  Why have a GL when actaul grenades do more damage too, and can be thrown farher than the GL shoots.  Plus you have your own ammo and stronger armor.  Did the game really need this class to be so strong? 

Judging by the number of players using support now, I would say they created imbalance rather than correcting it.  Pleeeeeeez EA bring back the assault I one loved!
