Obviously the Soldier/StormTrooper/Clone Trooper/Battle Droid are the best overall units, but using the remaining other units, what is your favorite? What do you consider to be the most useful if you find yourself in a skirmish with 3 other enemy soldiers.

For CIS: The Destroyer Droid, hands down, is the best unit for tearing down mass quantities of Clone Troopers on the Kamino level.

For the Republic: Definately the Jetpack Trooper with EMP launcher. It makes an awesome mortar style launcher, without having to resort to the limitations of the Arc Trooper.

For Empire: Definately the Dark Trooper for aerial domination in Mos Eisley.

For Rebels: I'd have to say Vanguard for their devastating rocket launcher, and decent pistol firing speed.

Also, has anyone else noticed how rediculously fast the Clone trooper's pistol fires? It's like having a second Assault Rifle.

CIS: Destoyer droid easily, they're ****ing tanks.

Republic: I don't use them much, and when I do, I just use the normal soldier with battle rifle.

Empire: Don't use them much either, but dark storm trooper is my most frequently used.

Rebels: Now here's who I use constantly. I use every one of them very well, but I most frequently use the Wookie and sniper.

[glow=darkred]the sniper units with the scope where u can zoom in 2 times are my favorite unit. the ones with the single zoom piss me off...
my fave thing to do is on one of the levels on i think Kashiik there is like a port city with docks and these towers, well i like getting a marksmen and getting in one of the towers (the middle left side) and sniping who ever spawns at that one point. from that spawn point they are suspened above the water and must run forward to get into the battle, of which the single zoom of a sniper messes me up badly..[/glow]

Bah, that's one of my favorite levels, but I prefer going as the soldier and just storming the docks. I think you and I could work really well together though. If you spawned on the opposite dock as I did, you could cover me from across the map while I ran across that platform to capture one of the command points.

I just hate being a marksman when a mech unit is coming toward you. :(

I'm actually going to have to change my unit of choice now.

After playing a few games with Sweaty on XBox Live, and on the PC at a LAN party, my new unit of choice on levels where the enemy has vehicles has to be the Vanguard, Assault Droid, Arc Trooper, and Shock Trooper.

Honestly, even when you're not attacking a vehicle, there's so many times where, as sloppy as it can be, those rockets will just annihilate everything around it.

Despite the Jetpack Trooper's great maneuverability, when push comes to shove down a long, and narrow hallway, the Arc Troopers cannon and Land Mines are just rediculous.

I was fighting on Cloud City, it was a 1v2, and the other two guys (at the LAN party), kept getting Droidicas. It was a very close game, but slowly they began to push me back in that long hallway. Fortunately for the Clone Troopers side, they have an ammo droid right near the beginning of their hallway. I laid down my 4 mines, and started shooting the shit out of them. When they finally got through to the last area before they could enter my spawn point, my mines blew the **** out of their Droidicas. GG.

Most of their force was congested in that area when they went off, so by the time they could respawn, I was already on the offensive on their side of the hallway.

You can't deny how amazing those mines work in critical chokepoints.

another fave level is the Cloud City one that has all the air units and you fight in this "tunnel"-
me and my friend love playing against eachother on that level as soldiers- i own :D
my units are stupid though..
there is 5 o our guys in one corner and one of them- everyone throws a grenade and kills the one enemy but 3 of the guys on their own side...
i hate the Dune Sea level though..
it sux...
another one i like/dislike is the Rhen Var where the empire gets the ATAT- my friend likes that level cause when he gets the ATAT its over for me unless im a pilot and i get a COmbat Speeder and a co-pilot really quick..
the ATAT is nothing if u get at its feet..
