I used to love playing this game, and I will probably start again now that my computer is broken and I am forced to use my old one until my new one is shipped to me.
Anyway, do you all find this game balanced?
The only units I ever saw played were n00bjets, snipers, Volters,SBHs, and tanks.
Flamers, Chem troopers, Tib Auto Rifle, normal Rocket Launcher, all these were almost never used because they couldn't do anything.
There is one thing that really always annoyed me. Havoc and Sakura obviously. They had top health, ability to kill light vechs and air units quickly, a 2 shot kill weapon. 3/4 of players played as them and it turned the game into a strategy FPS to a sniper war. Why can't people just use normal sniper and accomplish the same thing by aiming for the head?
Also, the most unique units were useless. I am a pyromaniac and I love flamer and chem trooper, but you have to be ridiculously close to do any damage and they have like no health.
I love this game but I find it pretty unbalanced.

Chem trooper works wonders on a map like volcano at times. If you only play in 25v25 games, you will indeed never find any use for anything but the most expensive characters. If you play in smaller, more strategical, games then you will find use for the less used characters from time to time. But again: not very often. Ren just has a wide load of variety but some of these units aren't very useful indeed.
Also, this doesn't make the game less balanced.

The game itself is fairly balanced in terms of GDI vs Nod so long as the pointsfix is there (the only glaring exception is 1v1 wallsfly) but it's true many of the characters have no practical uses.

no they're not, noobjets hitting tanks the whole time will give your team the game if your team is defended decently.

point fix >_<

Arties, Techs, Lights and Ravs are enough to win the game.

Depends on the server setup. With classic AOW settings, all maps are quite balanced. On canyon, the harvester are the weak spots and GDI has the upperhand in harv fights thanks to their rifles. On complex and islands, the money flow is quick enough and there's enough entrances on complex to quickly harass with humvee/apc and make those follow with mediums tanks.
It'll also depend on the number of players and vehicle limit of course, but overall the balance is ok on classic AOW settings.

There's nothing balanced about the AGT hitting the Nod harvester.
