SimHQ.com - Land Combat Zone - Feature: Multiplayer in Blackhawk Down

They're the most versatile of all in multiplayer games. They run the quickest with the flag and have the greatest selection of weapons. Don't forget the longer knife reach they possess.

Sniper

Grab a rifle, search out just the right spot and go lay down on the hill. Beware — there isn't much ground cover on most maps. Go for distance and get yourself a few 20-point sniper shots, or move in a little closer and wreak havoc with an M-21.

Gunner

Its all about the "spray and pray" when you first start out. With enough practice, an experienced gunner can lay down some lethal firepower. Using those at-4s effectively can upset a lot of the opposite team. Great for taking out guys in helicopters and Hummers.

Medic

Because of the speed and healing ability of the medic, you need to watch out for these guys. They're quick in knife fights (unless a CQB sees them first!) or after you have sprayed 4 people and you think they are all dead... until a medic revives them all. Then you'll have 5 hostiles heading right for you.

Once you have mastered all the different maps, game types and characters, the game is truly awesome. Everyday is different and something interesting is always bound to happen.

So gather-up your weapons boys, we're moving out to NovaWorld.
