I try to keep it balanced among the team. I find myself using the auto-shotgun most, but if everyone else has one I'll pick up an assault rifle. I love sniping though, and whenever my teammates have a mix of the other types I instantly grab the hunting rifle. Hunting rifle + double pistols = win

Just from the demo, this is one of the most enjoyable games I have ever played and the only one that is convincing me to buy a mic. Advanced is a reasonable difficulty to play with a decent team.
