The Ideal Fireteam

I have been finding it interesting that the footage we have been seeing often shows Warlocks in the "Point" position of the Fireteam. From what we know of the classes this seems like a bad idea with their low armor. This got me thinking about my ideal Fireteam arrangement. This is what I have so far: [b]On Point:[/b] The Titan Main Weapon: Pulse Rifle Secondary: Shotgun or other close quarters weapon Heavy: Player's Choice With his high amount of armor and the Fists of Havok AOE the Titan is the class that should be in the front of the line during combat situations. He can take more damage than any other class and dish more out in tight situations. The burst fire of the Pulse rifle allows for the flexibility of range on the battlefield giving the Point man the ability to deal with all combat situations. Shotguns and other close quarters weapons are necessary when encountering ambushes in the field where the point man is face to face with his foes. Being the first into the fray means that using Heavy weapons won't be the first option, generally speaking, so the choice is really one of preference. [b]The Middle Man:[/b] The Warlock Main Weapon: Assault Rifle Secondary: Pistol Heavy: Heavy Machine Gun The middle man is the jack of all trades, however, supporting the Titan with suppressive fire of either the full automatic fire of the Assault Rifle or the power of the Heavy Machine Gun is his main duty. While the Warlock is more vulnerable than the other classes with the Titan soaking up the brunt of the damage the Warlock is poised to bail the Titan out of sticky situations with his Nova Bomb and Radiance abilities. Being in the middle also provides the most protection, putting the team res in a good position. [b]The Sharpshooter:[/b] The Hunter Main Weapon: Scout Rifle Secondary: Players Choice Heavy: Sniper Rifle It could easily be argued that the Hunter should be on point, and that is a valid option, however, the speed and power that the class appears to have make it a spear to be used in direct specific strikes. With the scout rifle and sniper rifles reach on the battlefield the Hunter can pick off opponents over the heads of the Warlock and Titan. The Hunter can also bail out the Warlock if he gets into any trouble using his Golden Gun Ability. This is just my theorycrafting, what do you guys think the best Fireteam arrangement is?

  • You make a good argument but I believe every class will be able to take any position on the field. Tank, agility, and raw power are good examples of attributes we've seen that make good point people and each are of the different classes. Everyone has different styles of play and I think what makes a good fireteam is communication and teamwork. We should get out of the stigma of mmo style play and remember it is more fps. Think mass effect multiplayer on steroids.
