    Because some of these threads are getting kind of ridiculous.

    Soldier: Equipped with a rifle, a pick, a shovel and grenades. Rifle is a little less accurate. Grenades are thrown farther. Basically the current default, but you can't place blocks and you can't snipe as well.

    Sniper: Equipped with a sniper rifle, a pick and a shovel. Sniper rifle is very accurate when scoped, but it's slow and it's inaccurate if unscoped. Scope lets you see farther.

    Engineer: Equipped with an upgraded pick and shovel, and a pistol. Can place blocks. Pistol is basically just a weaker rifle. Upgraded pick and shovel dig faster. Good for building defenses.

    Gunner: Armed with a pick, a pistol and a machine gun. Machine gun is fast and powerful, but has to be deployed before use and isn't very accurate. Good for defense, or for taking out buildings.

    Commando: Armed with a silenced pistol, an upgraded pick and detpacks. Detpacks detonate 10 seconds after being placed, creating a large explosion that takes out any blocks or players in its blast radius.

    Medic: Armed with a rifle, a pick and a first aid kit. First aid kit heals wounded teammates to full health, must be dropped before use.

    Yeah I'm out of ideas.

    Thoughts?

    Good job thinking out these classes. Two problems, Commando & Engineer. First off, ANYONE should be able to place/destroy blocks. Second, I don't see a situation where the Commando is needed. Medic is good. Except, they should have 3 "heals" that heal a player to 75 health. Or, maybe 2.(needs to be tested for being overpowered, though) Snipers have been sugested before, and even said by the developer as a posibility, I think it might be overpowered. However there is a change that can make this not so. When zoomed in, the crosshairs should move in a random direction to simulate breathing. ( If you can't visulize this in your head then go here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV2hljGhJ24) Great sugestions!!!

    snipers would be good if the maps had a better layout and it promotes spawn camping

    If there's going to be anything like classes, I kind of like the idea of a specialization of sorts instead. Players get to pick one on connect, and can change once for every capture either team makes.

    Shovel: digs 25% faster
    Pickaxe: takes 2 hits to break a block rather than 3
    Block: start with and refill to 75 blocks / gain 2 blocks per block pickaxed (random?)
    Rifle: increased ammo, accuracy or ROF?
    Grenade: increased player damage AOE, spawns with more grenades

    The idea here is to not make a single 'class' superior over all others (so increased rifle damage or increased health is a no-go) but rather to allow people to perform a specific task slightly better. Digging tunnels will be slightly faster, builders will have to refill less often, etc.

    @mastur_grunt:
    The main purpose of commandos is to take out enemy buildings. Tunnel under, throw down your detpacks, destroy any remaining structures with the pick.

    Engineer is there because I figured that it's already par for the course to build something then immediately have to respawn anyway.

    Sniper isn't really that powerful - the only real advantage over the current rifle is that the ironsights zoom in a little more.
