Classes

The most basic class across the series is the Rifleman, such as this USMC example from Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat.

Classes are distinct roles assigned to players that denote specific purposes they are meant to fulfill in their team.

Each class is generally unique in some way based on weapons, equipment, and abilities. For instance, the Marksman class is equipped with sniper rifles and marksman rifles for playstyles geared toward long-range sharpshooting, while the Observer and Commander classes are largely identical to Rifleman but with the added distinction of being able to call Fire Support when working together.

The Insurgency series uses classes to divide players into roles so as to divide different armaments and promote team cooperation. Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat and Insurgency gave both Security and Insurgents unique models with each class, but starting with Insurgency: Sandstorm, all classes use the player's Appearance selection.
