(1) - Introduction -
Battlefield 2142 is a major change of pace for those of us that
come from the glory days of BF1942, the first in the series.  I
never got into BF Vietnam, nor did I remotely care for BF2.
However, BF2124 takes the best parts of the previous three and throws
them into a dystopian, ice aged future.  Like its predecessors, 2142
offers multiple classes to suit the respective playstyles of its players.
I've found the most versatile of these classes to be support.  Its
default weaponset is both powerful and accurate, and the added bonus
of a resupply crate allows you to carry on endlessly (until somebody
kills you, obviously).  Additionally, support units provide a major
bonus to those that fight with them by providing critical supply crates,
and revealing invisible units from afar.
Without further ado, let's jump into the basics of this mighty and
underestimated class.

(2) - Basics -
It's important to understand both the strengths and weaknesses of your
class, and while support is a strong class, it isn't invulnerable.
STRENGTHS:
- Default machine gun gets more accurate the more you fire it.
- Huge magazine capacity.
- Resupply is incredibly useful, both to you and to your team.
- Resupplying team members grants you bonus points.
- High damage, high rate of fire, short - long range = MMMMONSTER KILL
- Probably the single best class to have defending a titan
- Well placed sentry gun can be devastating
- Instantly detect nearby invisibles
WEAKNESSES:
- Gun can overheat if you're not paying attention
- Reload times are a tad long
- Ineffective against vehicles
- Only explosives are grenades
- Poorly placed sentry gun can be worthless
- First few shots will probably miss
