During a few rounds last night I began thinking about the balancing of the classes in WFA. It's difficult to say the borg is underrated as he is a staple in almost every offensive line up. However, I believe that in the hands of someone who has mastered kamikaze timing, route running, gunner dueling and circumstantial plasmabomb selection, I think he's the single most powerful class in the game. In the hands of this kind of player the class can create so much disruption that a competent, but not great flag runner can move the flag consistently against a defense that he otherwise wouldn't be able to. He's outfitted with skills that are easy to learn, but hard to master, which is what makes the class so rewarding to play. Overall I think he's one of the most well designed classes or heroes in any hero/class-based FPS game.
What do you think? What do you agree or disagree with?
