What do you guys think the best combo is?

Personally I play with a close friend, me as engineer and him as support... it's an awesome team, and without being too big headed when we're both on form with a good commander we're pretty much unstoppable.

Note: We stay away from Titans; if we play this mode after the shields are down we stay on the ground and take silos.

As far as defence/attack goes the firepower is the best against both forms of attack, ground, air and foot... my support always has EMP grenades and I always have my PDS-1 (tank tracker). The PDS-1 w/ the DysTek Pulse Meter and emp nades/motion mines and emp mines makes for one hell of a combat force if applied correctly. We found through rotation that the best squad leader was the engineer, due to the support generally being targeted more (you wouldn't have thought it).

Failing the eng/support combo a duo engineer team if both in armour with v2 DysTek Repairs are a force to be reckoned with.

"Why no assault?" Meh, there's always a pawn running around with a defrib trying to get rev scores... if another friend is up for it then he'll always go assault as the third option, but generally we don't die enough to worry about the big grim himself :laugh:.

I might write tactics up if there's interest, but give the combo a go for yourself to see if you feel the same as us. I expect most of you are a bit sceptic as to leaving an assault out of a duo, but just give it a try.

I also partner with a friend, and he's usually Support, and I'm usually Engineer and I agree, that combo works a treat in general play, as well as for attacking a titan. However, in defence of a titan, you need someone with health packs and defibs, so the support/assault works much better.

Support + Assault (Effective Titan Rooftop Defence)
Support + Recon (Quick Strike Titan Offensive)

My two favorite combos - but mainly because I enjoy playing support, and a friend of mine switches between the other two. We've been doing pretty dope though with that config.

Support and Recon has obvious advantages. Infinete C4 ftw! Cover your backs / the enterances to the corridors with a drone, resupply yourself as you move to keep the option of replacing the drone alive, and keeping the recon stocked up so that he always has max C4 can be the difference between 30mins of silo damage, or a shields down, core gone in 2 minutes round - if you're quick enough to circumvent their defence that is. Too slow and you're ****ed - they'll wall up that last corridor and you'll be boned. I find stocking the recon with enough C4 to blow the first two consoles simultaneously helps with the first decisive strike factor - seeing two consoles down usually alerts more people to go defend.

The Support and Assault combo on our titan defending, on the roof - gets me GODLIKE kills. Drone in the corner, prone on the edge of the middle floor, I can cover all three floors quite effectively, and if I slip up / take damage, mr. medic is always there to heal me.

Plus he's the one that chases anyone who gets through and down the holes and bags the knife kills =)
