Nod lazer chain gun, he is perfect in every way possible. Effective against both infantry and armour. The only let down about this character is the range.
the only thing I can say is this: ROFL!!!!

I dont really agree with having a worst character. I mean theres a different character for each job.
Rocket officers seem like the worst guys, but in C&C_Under I headshot a total newb with one from my base, and the guy was on the highrock in the middle.
Cheap sydneys are actually quite good. They rack up points fast, and you dont have to actually hit the target since they do splash damage.
Flame troopers dont do alot of damage. Ive only made about 15 kills with a flame trooper total, and have died about 4 times at the hand of a flame thrower. BUT, in tunnels like field, under, and complex they are very useful, since you can make a smoke screen outta fire.
Chem troopers are way underrated. A well placed chem trooper can make smokescreens, and are perfect for early attacks on the harvester since they are immune to tiberium. Their weapon does alot of damage.
IMHO, the worst character is the Flame trooper. Not because they dont do damage and all that, but they arent sneaky, and arae easy to kill. A 20 foot stream of fire is enough to alert snipers to your presence, and since the flame has a definate shape to it, they can headshot you right through the flames. Up close, they are easy to kill, since they dont really do a lot of long lasting damage and cant see you very good in narrow spaces.

dude, if you get headshots with a flamethrower, close range.. the damage is hard.
only thing is, while attacking with a flamethrower your opponent'll probably retreat. you have to keep up with him, and against say, a ramjetter, you'll probably die by either running in a straight line at him or strafing and letting him evade your flame range to the point of negligable damage. the key to him is surprise and headshots. if you surprise a prone sniper, you'll get him to at least half health before he reacts. it's all about dynamics in the game. the job would be harder if nobody had any lag. your opponent's notice time of being attacked by you is delayed a bit, giving you time to deal more damage.
as for the tib sydney, surprise doesn't even work.. it's one of the game's secrets of challenge. you'll notice few people bring themselves to use her, and would rather use easy shooting units. then again, why pay $150 for something when you can do an easier job with $0?

Grenaders aren't really used for taking out buildings,.. Just sit from a distance and hit buildings for credits.
Flamethrowers are pointless.

Useless characters: tib sydney, flamethrower, Nod soldier (Nod engi is far better unless you wanna shoot down an orca and don't have any money... There are plenty of people who are awesome with a pistol or a GDI soldier, I can't name anyone who's frightening with a Nod soldier), shotguns are also of little value. GDI soldier > Nod soldier by far, Grenadier > Flamethrower by far, Chem troopers have a few (if not many) uses e.g. killing a harv at the start of a game on volcano, plus they are good against buildings. I also don't rate the officer much.

My friend, who are you going to use when Nod rushes, Sydney, because she has a tiberium auto rifle. Everyone knows tiberium disipates armour and health very rapidly. Also, The Technician would be a great offensive weapon.

trust me, you haven't lived renegade until you headshot someone across a map with a slow moving rocket.

kinda makes you think about the balance of things...throw a gdi and nod soldier into a fight and the gdi'll win. not only because his rifle is powerful but he's a smaller target. I feel sorry for newbies who try to kill with a nod sold and get wiped out by a jumping, prancing engineer with a pistol, of all things.

You are not correct. A flamethrower cannot kill a building, at least not without someone else hitting it too.
He can nearly kill it though... if he uses all his ammo and his C4.
