Auxiliaries: (See Assault)


Snake's Take: This class is deadly at short range, and great for team support. Don't get caught in crossfire with this class though, because its slow reload will kill you!
Recommended for players of High skill.

Auxiliaries: Grenades (See Assault)


Snake's Take: This class is equipped to demolish anything and everything, but its slowness makes it horrible against anyone with higher ground.
Recommended for players of Low skill.


[Recon]



Primary Weapon: UMP
Damage: Moderate
Advantages: Confusing weapon, good finisher
Good Against: Anyone with low health, especially recons
Disadvantages: Inaccurate, Loud, uncloaks recon
Bad Against: Anyone with high health (excepting recons)
Picture:

Secondary Weapon: Nighthawk Pistol
Damage: Moderate
Advantages: Does not fully uncloak recon, good combo with K-Bar knife (1 knife and one Nighthawk shot=Medium armor Dead), Silent
Good Against: Any medium armor who has been knifed, low health heavys
Disadvantages: Low Ammo (32), not the fastest handgun around
Bad Against: Anyone with high health
Picture:

Auxiliary 1: K-Bar Knife
Damage: High
Advantages: One-Hit Recon Kill, 75% chance 1-hit medium armor kill
Good Against: Medium and Light Armor
Disadvantages: CR weapon, uncloaks recon fully
Bad Against: Heavy Armor, large groups
Picture:


Snake's Take: This class is good for sneaking in and around enemy zones. Designed for taking out the stragglers, this class is also very vulnerable to Minigun Fire, so stay out of a heavy's way unless they are at death's door.
Recommended for players of Moderate skill.


[Mauler]



Primary Weapon: Grenade Launcher
Damage: High
Advantages: Good placement is a 1-hit light or medium armor KO, Pretty fast

Picture:

Secondary Weapon: Micro-Uzi
Damage: Moderate
Advantages: Good damage and high speed, 200 ammo, good for spraying
Good Against: Anyone with less that 50 health

Bad Against: High health players on even footing
Picture:

Auxiliary 1: K-Bar Knife (See Recon)

Auxiliary 2: Claymore Mines
Damage: High
Advantages: Good base protection, 1-hit recon kill
Good Against: Recons
Disadvantages: Can be set off by grenades, only 2 mines, cannot be replenished by support
Bad Against: Heavys
Picture:


Snake's Take: This class is made for defense, as the grenade launcher is set to take out incoming charges of enemies and to stop hidden recons from wreaking havox with their mines. This is NOT an offensive class, due to the fact that no Mauler weapons can take out anyone on high ground.
Recommended for players of Moderate-High Skill.

Please give constructive criticism, this is my first guide and I would like to get better at it.
Enjoy!

A special thanks to Pawnmobilizer for the renders

Hmm, not bad of a guide for a new guide maker. Very in depth, even adding your own suggestions and opinions. I would say it is not bad. Just add some screenies to make it a bit more attractive.

SolidSnake, there's an awesome guide you have there. Can I make for you a title. Like, I do GFX, so I can use my GFX skills to make an attractive headline for your guide, SolidSnake!

It's good but yeah definatley need screenies. I got tired after assault because it's only text, but if you get screenies it will be very good

Yes Ader i would love an attractive headline. I just added pics, so i hope its not too boring!

It is? send me the link if you can find it. I haven't heard of any such guide in PT.

I think you are referring to ReconReaper's standard guide to all classes, right? Well, it is similar, but that guide doesn't have the mauler, so it is still rather different.

What is PT?

Btw good job overall.

PT=Pawn Tactics

Lol you must be joking

You shouldn't post the "Recommended" skill level thingy.
And get rid of the "snake's take". Let people be unique, not copy you.

One thing I don't really understand is how the Assault class is for low-moderate skill people. I mean, Assaults take some good aiming to take out other assaults and heavies especially for their gunning.

Well, its for beginners cuz of the accurate gun and the big grenade supply. However, I see your point, which is why it is also for moderate skill level.

uh... no. Assault is a very easy to use class, and it is also very difficult to use correctly.
