Alright, so we've talked about who is the best all round character or just the best character. But how about the worst?
imo, it's the rocket officers. (Not gunner) They cost you 225, and they are so frickin useless. Try to kill a tank with some range on you, and he'll easily dodge your shots. Their damage is quite low. Don't even think about trying to kill any infantry with them. At close range, you can hit people at their feet for blast damage, but that's only very close. They can't hit anything that moves.
If they were properly done to heat seek, they would rock.

I dunno, Sydney (the cheap one, carrying the Tib riffle) is pretty bad.
Its easy to kill her using the basic minigunner.
Just stay at range and keep strafing in one direction and most of the shots miss because the shots move slowly and its difficult to judge the correct lead angle.

She's actually quite hard to kill with an auto rifle. Her and hotwire can be difficult to hit in the head with an auto rifle because of their speed and smaller size in general.
And if you think about it, she can hold her own better than a rocket officer. Her hits are more likely to connect, and she can fire multiple shots in a direction to guarantee some of them connect. And she costs less.
Also, if the unpatched version of Renegade, hitting someone with a tib rifle was much cooler. The tiberium effect on impact was huge and it blinded you.

omg u guys, the grenadier is the urst of course! rocket officer is terrible, and dont even touch that freggin soilder, get the shotgunner or engy!
well, there are special circumstances with the grenaider/soilder, but in the above post about sydney, im actually quite good with them, the autorifle is a strong, antiinfanty weapon that takes ALOT of usage to master
not TOO bad on tanks either
i like the chem warrior best though,
Good topic!

I agree, the flamethrower sucks. The Chemtrooper and grenadier on the other hand are awesome for taking out buildings.

I don't think you can compair free characters with non free ones.
Hence I think we need to have:
Worst Character (Free)
Worst Value (Non free).

Flames suck, anyone who is half decent with a pistol can take on a flame trooper close range let alone with there gun. they can't take a building either. They are moreless the most useless character in the game, I see nothing benefial for them. Anyone who is good in a tank with just own it before it can take 100 armour off, they are only good against idiots

Grenadiers don't suck. They can take out a building by themselves, I've done it several times. The grenadier is the only free character that can do that(I think).

I agree on the flamethrower. It sucks.
I do not like flamethrowers simply because the only thing their fire suit protects against is their own weapon...and how stupid do you need to be to hit yourself with your own gun anyway (and how often do you see flame weapons wielded by GDI)? The chem trooper, for a measly 150 credits more (which you almost always start a game with, or have by about 1 minute in), has similar(crap) range, does much better damage, and can run through tiberium without getting hurt. There's really nothing going for the flamer.
Every other character has some trait which sets it apart from the others, thus making it worth using.

But is it even possible if the other team has more than 3 collective brain cells? No intelligent person would let you sit there for 10 minutes plinking away with your pistol...wait, on second thought, they'd let you get 99% done then kill you and laugh. :rolleyes:
None of the free characters can take out a building alone. The Tech/Hotwire is the only character, in fact, that can do it in less than 35 seconds; anything else takes much longer.

A grenadier can take out a building himself and still have about a clip of grenades left.
Also some people can with the standard engineer if you detonate your 2 remotes at the same time as the timed C4 goes off you can take out a building? I have tried this so many times and it's never worked. It doesn't follow logically (damage wise), and it would only be some sort of lag glitch if someone pulled it off in a server. I've detonated them at the exact same time in a single player and it didn't take the building out.

I vote for the Flamethrower, and the Rocket Soldier gets second place.
One person I rarely ever get is Mobius/Mendoza. I'd rather have the Laser Chaingun Black Hard because he's almost as good against vehicles and he can shoot farther, with the drawback of less accuracy. Of course it's not exactly fair to compare them to the Laser Chaingun because it just rules anyway!
