When i first started out, I was a med GL. Much fun. Then I migrated to Light shotty, then later on to light bolt. Now I currently play heavy RL, or Mini. Light silent shotty, or boltgun. (I'm also a decent decker)
Putting this out there so we can see what people play as, and start thinking up situational strategies we can use when playing together.

Well I'm still rather noobish, usually I get down exclusively at Nick's (Azrael's) house, and I'm still getting a feel for everything. I'm almost never heavy (too slow for my liking), and I'll switch between light and medium depending on the situation. I'm decent at spray+pray methods, but lately I've been playing with stealth a lot. Light/shotty/stealth is great fun, but I feel cheap, and have a penchant for the smartlock pistols, which I use with varying degrees of success -- it really makes my day to take out heavies. The boltgun is fun, too, but as of now I'm still very inconsistant with it. I'm a big fan of the katana too, and I'm beginning to get a feel for the super-long range of it. All in all I'm up for anything, and am more than happy to take a few pointers from anyone with some experience on me (probably most of you).
I'm just beginning to mess around with decking, but generally avoid it if the game I'm in is at all competitive unless nobody else is stepping up to the plate. I don't know my way around cyberspace and Azrael tells me I need to jump a lot more. I'm beginning to memorize the sequences for wedging/ice. That's about it.

Med Gl is my fav. I have my on and off days. If I'm playing light I use bolt and cloak. I never really play heavy, but in certain situations I will, primarily with the Minigun. Nothing like hittin someone right in the face with a bolt. Or juggling the crap out of a heavy with the GL

The trick to playing heavy is liberal use of leg boosters with fatty fist. Considering I use Rocket Luancher the most, I am constantly switching to the first, sprinting around the corner and POW dead something. When you're a light, you almost always wanna be using silence. Its really helpful for people who arn't very smart (a good amount play dystopia). As for decking, its really learning the button combo's and when fighting (i use projectiles more) to shoot where they're gonna be, not where they are.

i take things slow, like a battlecruiser, so I enjoy minigun or ballask or w/e it is, or even the occasional rocket, or grenade launcher, usually anything that explodes with an area of damage is my pick

I usually tend to play as a light, what with the boltgun and the stealth and the cyberdecking. Though I do have a gauntlet of ion operation +2.

I, personally, have been practicing with medium for the majority of the time. Lately though, I've been going out based on the situation needed. Right now, I've been practicing with the grenade launcher mostly, but I used tesla rifle for the first time tonight and enjoyed it. I've gone through the MK and assualt with the medium as well. I deck when needed, typically based on if Shetep tells me to. I fight average in cyber space, and I am starting to learn my way around the maps. I started using enhanced recently too, so I'm learning that as well. As far as heavy, the only weapon I know well is the ion cannon. I tried the rocket yesterday, but ended up hurting more teamates then enemies. For light, I pretty much don't know any weapons very well. I use shotgun mostly for ease of use, and I typically attack with my katana and pistol more often.

My favorite setup, which probably is terrible in every other dystopia player's mind, is MK rifle, enhanced deck, IFF info, cold suit, and SCS. MK rifle is my favorite gun, so awesome and fun to use. I'm also pretty descent with the other three medium weps. Light- Stealth / Bolt Gun with enhanced and stealth is my greatest light setup I like to say that I'm a very skilled decker so I'll pretty much do a lot of that if I play in scrims/matches with you guys. MK is still the greatest.

Good good, it seems we have a good spread of players. Good versitality, seems like im the only often heavy player, but thats fine. We should perhaps make a post that Az will update, that has a list of our clan's people, and their favored (best) class, and weapon. Would be helpful to know what eachothers strength's and weaknesses are.

90% of the time I go Light, (Bolt, Stealth, Leg, TAC, Iff, CORTEX). The other 10% I swap Tac and legs for therms(or deck), scs and wired.
