FAV CHARACTER TYPES (list from 3 - 6 characters):

Heavy Weapons
Jump Trooper
Engineer


FOR EACH FAV CHARACTER TYPE, NAME YOUR ULTIMATE WEAPONS SETUP, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT DAMAGE, RELOAD, RECOIL, TERRAIN RESTRICTIONS AND ENCUMBERENCE. AFTER EACH, NAME THE REASONS WHY YOU THINK THESE SETUPS ARE BEST:

Hope this isn't to long....
Heavy Weapons Setups:

PF Generator
Medium Powercell
Heavy Combat suit
SLR Launcher
Machine Gun

The last time I used this setup was a long time ago, with constant changes I don't know if it still works really well. I used this setup for middle killing in Callisto's Crossfire. It rocks.

PF Generator
Suit Supercharger
Heavy Combat suit
Gauss Cannon
Auto Cannon

I use the Gauss cannon to smack my bitch up from a distance and the Auto cannon to pee in there corn flakes when there trying to rob me of my manhood up close.

KR Elite Heavy Weapons Setup:

PF Generator
Medium Powercell
Heavy Combat suit
Plasma Cannon
Stubcannon>

Theres so many ppl in KR considering it's huge players per arena limit that the plasma cannon is the shiznito. Just shoot one anywhere and you will more then likely hit and kill someone. The stubcannon is also a great powerfull weapon that you can move and shoot with, plus it's lifetime is long, it's great for shooting at ppl that are far away.

Heavy Weapons info:

People plague there heavies with crap weapons. BLAH. The great thing about being a heavy is the access to big hitting weapons. So go ahead and grab that mortar. Learn how to use it right and nothing can stop you.

Jump Trooper Setup:

IDF Generator
Suit Supercharger
Combat suit
Carbine
Assault Rifle
Shotgun
Hoverboard kit

I see alot of Jump Troopers walking, argh. Get on a board moron! Speed = good. With this setup I can shoot ppl from afar with my Assault Rifle along with when they are close. Dodge all the incoming bullets and piss them off with your weapons. The IDF slows down weapons enough to dodge them with no problem at all. Persistance is the way to go with this setup.
Engineer Setup:

PF Generator
Medium Powercell
Combat suit
Electron Beamer
Incinerator
Close Combat Shotgun
Hoverboard

If you like killing and want to be an engineer then this setup works like a charm. I use the electron beamer to drain my enemies suit energy, making there assault suits and combat suit's worthless. Then I rush at them with an incinerator and fry them up like I do toast on sunday mornings. If they don't die from a couple rushes with the incinerator I smack them up with my CC Shotgun. Shun the ppl who say the Engineer is a crappy killer! (I went 120-1 with this setup in tp).

FOR EACH FAV CHARACTER TYPE, GIVE WHAT YOU CONSIDER THE 3 BEST TACTICS THOSE CHARACTERS CAN USE:

Heavy: the bigger the weapon better. Take advantage of being able to use powerfull weapons. Jump Trooper: use hoverboard speed to gather flags quick and to dodge alot. Engineer: screw turret's! Drain your enemies self worth and then fry them up!

NAME ANYTHING DIFFERENT ABOUT YOUR KEYBOARD CONFIG THAT BETTER YOUR

GAMEPLAY: I like to have everything in reach. I hate to search for keys in a battle. Arrow keys are to move. Numpad 0 is for med crap or kits like hoverboard. Numpad 1 is for suit teleport. Numpad delete/period is for one suit or equipment slot. Numpad 2 is for another suit or equipment slot. Cntrl is for weapon #1. Tab is for weapon #2. Shift+Cntrl is for weapon #3 and Z is for weapon #4.

HOW IMPORTANT TO YOUR GAMEPLAY IS STRAFING:

I suck at strafing.

HOW IMPORTANT TO YOUR GAMEPLAY ARE GRENADES (Rep/Frag/Emp):

I never use them. *shrug*

HOW IMPORTANT TO YOUR GAMEPLAY ARE PORTALS:

I use portals if I'm using an ammo eating gun to teleport back to the store area.
