    Are you flexible in the class you play ? Or do you always just play  your class regardless of the game situation

    I do change it up depending on the situation, though I'll usually be playing Engineer destroying vehicles and often just change if my team's class balance is severely unbalanced, otherwise I trust others to deal with things I can't. When I change to recon though, it's usually with a shotgun and C4 though since I can't snipe.

    Nah, I switch constantly all the time, depending on whats going on on the map. Even switch class equipement depending on what I feel is needed as well as what I feel like playing.  
    Flexibility has served me well and won many a game. Relying on other people if you are not playing with people you know is asking for a loss.

    Map dependent for me, and every class except recon.  Just can't really get into sitting and watching and picking.  And if I'm going stabbing on D or objective hunting on O then the other classes are better than a wookie w/a shotty or G3.  I think I'll work on the Recon class versus AI whenever that onslaught mode drops; I need the 10 motion mines especially.

    Sometimes I do if my teammates aren't being effective enough.

    Sniping if I want to feel badass, assault if I want to actually be useful, and engineer if I want to level up and feel strategic

    I always change to depending on the situation. I just usually dont change to the medic. Because I play with randoms and they are all fools!! So.... no health packs for them!

    Yup. Being flexible is a must for good Battlefield players. If you stick to much to a single role, you will hinder your team. In fact, thats why you have a suicide option. 
    Its also something that you have to constantly change, depending on the map and objective.

    Yeah, sometimes I have trouble deciding which class to play, I used to only stick to assault, but I branched out once I got used to each class's weapons. 
     
    That was a month ago, however.

    If there's no medic in my squad I might play as one to keep everyone alive, but usually I just play as engineer.

    I've been playing for achievements/unlocks lately, But before when i was just playing I was pretty much an engineer all the time because there was an excess of medics and recons. I've started loving playing as a medic lately though

    I often switch up between assault and engineer when the need for it arises, but the rest f the time medic. Sometimes a medic isnt any use to a team that needs their tank repaired.

    If the rest of my team is doing really well, I just go ahead and get stars. Otherwise I gotta carry them all to get our scores back up.

    I just play engi, because I like SMGs and people who do nothing about tanks annoy me.
    I'm also pretty accurate so running into a base and planting is as easy as being an assault class, apart from not having a noob tube, but that's a different story.

    I usually base it on how the game is going and how my team is playing as a whole.

    The best players are the ones who master all the classes. I used to be oookay at BFBC1, never used the specialist EVER (I know, right, insane?). But then I decided "man, I should stop being a fool and try this junk out." -- Long story short, I had a K/D of around 2.1 on Specialist alone (versus my 1.6 average at the time). It's a good idea to switch up for whatever situation is thrown at you.

    I find the classes that I use are good for almost all situations, hardcore and regular.  Including rushing bomb sites, never underestimate the pistols :)  my best friend when recon.
     
    -Assault, G3, M9 pistol, C4, extra C4, Magnum ammo
    -Recon, Rifle, M9 pistol,  C4, 12x, Magnum ammo
     
    The only thing I'm almost completely useless against is helicopters, so I usually rely on my team to deal with them.

    Yeah totally depends on the situation, the map i'm playing on and the classes my squadmates are playing as. I prefer engineer and assault, and will switch classes depending on whats happening in the game. Usually if i'm playing with my friends we each pick a class so we can support each other.

    I'd say so, but more often than not I'm Medic on Defense and Recon on Offense. Tagging targets and sniping is what I'm best at, so I end up falling back on it if there aren't already 10 snipers. It's kind of annoying now since I'm not unlocking anything for Recon or Vehicles.
