I hope heavy assault doesn't turn into the exo from Nuclear Dawn

[Canadian Vanu]

In nuclear dawn the EXO is the heavy assault of the game.

High health, rocket launchers and a lockdown ability with a pistol.

The exo is forced to rely on the pistol for self defence as rockets don't do jack shit against infantry for balance purposes.

Fights against the exos revolve around you shooting exo in the chest hoping for him to die while he shoots you with this tiny weapon.

More often than not the battle ends with a full clip in the exo's chest and a dead you.

Please don't make this happen in planetside 2

It won't if you see Gameplay videos you can easily kill someone the only defense advantage that a Heavy assault has is his defense and his shield, plus you can always catch one of guard. The strongest infantry is the MAX that can be taken down by a infantry squad due to his low maneuverability.

I'm not arguing, but the max'es look very fast compared to ps1? Just curious, but man they've been sprinting around the battlefield pretty fast in videos I've watched.

They have a sprint ability that is likely on a CD.

HA also has an LMG or ES weapon (Lasher/Jackhammer/MCG) so will likely not be trying to kill you with a pistol. So instead you'll be getting torn to pieces while trying to shoot him in the head (not the chest).
