I've always sort of wanted to ask this, but especially now that I've been posting on the CR2.0 boards answering questions and stuff, there are some things I still don't get.

Why do you use a certain loadout in a certain situation?

I don't really mean why you'd load Compel Close Combat over Detection, but more like, why do you walk around with KF GM when you're not doing anything, or why you love going Duelist in PvP. For me, it's always been, Patcher when things got serious, and Spy (now Gunner) when I'm just talking to people, or PvPing really casually.

To give you a bit of background as to why I'm asking: I never really got why people loved to use MA before, and I don't really understand why a lot of people seem to roll with Operative now. Operatives are sort of the benchmark right now for loadouts since they have those purty big damage moves, yet people compare something else to it, and I can't help but say, "Well that's Operative, X is good at A, B, C, and especailly at D"... and it doesn't seem to register.

Maybe if I understand why people use what they use, I can communicate a certain tree's strengths to those people better SMILEY.
