Just a little random question for everyone. Which class(es) do you use the most or only use? As for me, I like them all, but I've always loved Q2 deathmatch. I played it all the time when Q2 was in its prime. I'm also a huge Doom fanatic. So Doom and Strogg are on top of my list. Pretty good with them. Earth and Arena are fun to use at times as well and I can get a few frags using them. I completely suck with Slipgate. I do love Q1, but I never was good at it for some reason haha. But I know the power it holds hehe. I just can't harness it well. Anyways, so yeah. How about y'all?

It really depends on the map. On iksdm3, I prefer Arena/Strogg over all others. On Eternal Arenas, Doom all the way. On Deva Station, I like to play Earth. Any map which has lotsa jump pads & ramps, I have the most fun with Slipgate =]
I'd say my favorite to play is Doom because he can be a little reckless and it'll help him =]

Earth is my overall favorite class, but he sucks against slipgaters. If there's a lot of slippy's around, I tend to go doom.

Weird, I thought most ppl would use one of the characters that sport a railgun or earth model that has a sniper. I like the game for the nostalgia it brings, I really could care less wether win or loose, just try to do the best I can with either Doom or slipgate.

I use earth for the mortar and the gats, not for the sniper rifle

I use Slipgate and Earth only... wait, that's a lie, I do use Gladiator once in an extremely rare while. I'm the best with Slipgate on every map, and also have the most fun with that class... but Earth has gatling guns, a mortar, and a napalm launcher... I can't help but use that class once in a while.

doom - strogg - slipgate - earth - arena
in that order, slippy comes out faster depending on the number of slippy-whores

Depends on my mood, and who else is on the map as what class. Lately here's my lineup:
Strogg whenever I can, mostly because it's satisfying to beat on people with the "weakest" class.
I might start out with Earth to get things going. I love the rifle, and if there's something I can set on fire, well...
If the action is getting intense I'll go for the Doomer. He's fast, he does a boatload of damage, and it's my best class. I've been shying away from Doom for most matches whenever possible in order to give the other classes a fair shake and get some variety in my gameplay. Doom is still my favorite and best of all 5 classes.
Slipgate and Arena I almost never use. I might go Skippy once in a while, but I'm no good with the Slipgaters. Arena Gladiators I don't care for. I've never liked the Quake 3 weapons and I probably never will.

Definitely the Doom Marine.
Perhaps the best reason (for me) to use Doom is cause of the nostalgia factor...I still play Doom religiously, and as a result I feel right at home with the weapons and his physics (even his jumping feels like it WOULD feel if you could jump in Doom...good job on that). The SSG is still just as satisfying as it was in Doom 2, and the Plasma Rifle is still brilliant. I can sometimes kick serious ass with Doom. I don't stand a chance against Slipgaters, though, even though Doom is by far the best class I've got.
After that, Strogg. The weapon diversity of Quake 2 is one of the reasons why it was so cool. This amazing weaponry really makes Strogg stand out in Generations, from the pinpoint, nearly one-hit-kill Railgun to the constant hail of lead from the flesh-shredding Chaingun. His strafe jumping also helps a lot, and he seems to be able to take more of a beating than the other classes.
Earth is alright...I like that class...just a bit too slow for me, though.
Slipgate I suck with.
And Gladiator I never play as, cause I feel that playing as a standard Q3 character is not the reason Gen was created.

Parapsyche you still play DOOM religiously? :-) Me too, I'm sure most ppl would know this, but just in case you didn't, with the new advances you can play DOOM in high resolution such as in 1280 x 960 with beautiful graphics and no pixelation, and the DOOM character DOES look up and down and jump (although not much like in Q3). It's called JDOOM, and I just finished going through ALL of DOOMI, DOOM II and some of the nightmare levels again after many many years, in all of its glory. BTW they have jhexen and Jheretic too, so I did Hexen (fun game, I had forgotten) too and I'm gonna do heretic soon. http://www.doomsdayhq.com/download_util.phpDo I detect a little bit of animosity to the slipgate character?, I have seen some ppl refer to them as slipgate whores :-) I haven't been in any servers with real ppl yet so I dunno what that's about.

Me Strogg. Ugh.
Seriously, the amount of slippyness in the gen player community annoys me - I'm sure the air-control & only having two weapons that account for anything has it's nostalgia-value, but it's never struck me as the kind of thing you'd want to restrict yourself to. Oh well, I usually just play on random, so it pops by every now and then ;]

lol, yeah, I've downloaded ZDoom AND JDoom. JDoom certainly kicks ass...the models for the weapons and enemies are top notch, considering they were all made from scratch, with only the sprites to guide them. The lens flares and stuff really make it cool, and the extra depth provided by the 3D models really immerses you into the world of Doom. I use ZDoom whenever I want some extra features, but don't wanna wait for the loading, lol. Oh, by the way, for all you JDoom users, there's a Doom TC that was recently created called "Doom 64: The Absolution". It's a perfect recreation of Doom 64, but with some levels replaced, and some new levels added (I think there are 34 in all). You can access the 3 "Fun" levels, if you're keen on your Doom secret-finding skills. He even incorporated new enemies (Nightmare Cacodemon, Nightmare Specter), the Nightmare Imp, the Motherdemon, and the Doom 64 exclusive weapon called the Unmaker (or Flesh Rifle). New traps and stuff are in, too. http://www.doom2.net/~elbryan/Go there to download it...it's well worth it, and definitely is a good challenge for Doomers.
