Service Branches
In WarRock every player can choose from five service branches: Military Engineer, Medic, Scout (Sniper), Combatant (Infantry), and Heavy Weapons Unit. The Medic is represented by a female avatar and the Heavy Weapons Unit is a black (African American) avatar. Every branch has its special selection of main weapons, which can be equipped into at least one weapon slot. There is the possibility to gain extra weapon slots (up to 3) e.g. by purchasing premium status or special weapons.
In WarRock, each character has its specialties and is selected depending on the map type and player's style. The Combatant is the most popular character due to its all-round ability and firepower. The Medic has the ability to heal itself and other players, which makes it popular amongst players who purchase premium items and weapons. The Military Engineer is the least popular character due to its limited abilities on smaller maps. Only large maps include machinery such as vehicles, tanks, helicopters or planes which the Military Engineer can repair. However the Military Engineer is not required to operate heavy machinery; all characters can drive vehicles and tanks or pilot helicopters and planes. Often, due to heavy combat, it's more common for a vehicle to be abandoned rather than repaired. As well, large maps have repair points which can repair any damaged machine, further limiting the Military Engineer's usefulness. However, Military Engineers can use land mines, take half the damage from mines, and use T-Bombs.

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or branches:
“A man’s real faith is never contained in his creed, nor is his creed an article of his faith. The last is never adopted. This it is that permits him to smile ever, and to live even as bravely as he does. And yet he clings anxiously to his creed, as to a straw, thinking that that does him good service because his sheet anchor does not drag.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A woman is a branchy tree
And man a singing wind;
And from her branches carelessly
He takes what he can find.”
—James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)
