User blog comment:Zealot Guy/How to be an Assault/@comment-1786471-20110411192653

I was also thinking of writing an Assault guide, I've recently given the class some play time and actually enjoyed it. I personally think the Assault is the best class for straight-up infantry combat. The Engineer weapons are weak at long range, the Medic weapons suffer at close range. Assault Rifles are in the middle but are also effective at close range and long range (some more than others). The Assault class is effective at aggressive fighting and rushing, but also good at suppressing and covering. Underbarrels allow versatility as well. I personally use the 4x and Shotgun for maximum effectiveness.
