TR used to have the most powerful MAXs. With a special ability that makes them Decimator bait and waves of nerfs, they are now quite humble.

Keep deluding yourself man, they are still the only max in the game that can single handedly hold a doorway for extended period of time, they are are the only max in the game that causes entire squads and platoons of the enemy to have to think about finding a way to get behind them.

Doppler's right .. this morning on Hossin we had a DC and Pounder Max with 2/3 engis protecting the back entrance for almost 45 minutes before the NC were able to take us down and overrun the base. It took a lot of team work, but it was a blast!

Guys the reaver was not nerfed, what are you raving on about? They reduced the clip size, but not the storage capacity! You still have 96 rockets, it's just that you have 18 shots to finish them before reloading instead of 24. And less face it folks, if it was taking you 24 rockets to kill anything other than AMSes or moving Vanguards then you should really consider a career as a medic.

Jagd is completely correct. The new Reaver is nowhere hardly inferior. If anything, 8 less rockets in a clip just means you afterburn out of a mess sooner.Also, the added momentum the rockets get while you're moving just makes them faster, improving accuracy.

I do seem to like most of the Balance Pass. I play all three empires now. I like the Maxes for TR. Oh Johari I sat lockd down at the gate entrance to a base. There were a few other TR there with me. They ran out the gate to meet the NC. Will they were dropped by the mass of NC scatters and infantry. I stayed locked down with the Dual Cylcer, laying massive cover fire out the gate. I did drop to many peeps while they ran past the ourside of the gate. I did weaken them but they still didn't come in my damn gate. I finally dropped after a few Deci hits, but of well.

The VS got a nice buff. I was on Konried Cyssor S Gunuku tower. This was before the total repetative server crashes. I was in the CC of the tower with two scatters. They were fully healed and repairs. I'm lvl 1 eng med and hack. So one VS max and two infantry rush up the stairs. They start firing and blam I'm dead and the two maxes are dead before I could even pull out my bank to fix one of the maxes. It was a total loss. I think the server was getting unstable then, cause I was shot a one shot kill at full health through the wall of the tower just before that happened with the maxes, another med revived me.

Now for the other part, I hate the new things with the vehicles. The new speed thing when you run over peeps. Well I have to say it's nice if you are infantry running around to be able to get out of the way. I'm a NC vanny driver hear. Was doing good with the van when I had a gunner, I love the vehicles then, but all my buddies were pinned down so I was driving a dead vanny. Anyways You use to be able to run down peeps pretty well. I hit one infantry man last night and went from like 35 kph to 0. Dead stop. The VS Mag can still mow. It slows down but not like that. Okay I know this is a game, but okay lets be logical. A modern day tank can roll through a wall and hardly slow up. I mean anyone ever watched the cops or the real TV where the guys in Cali steals that tank. That was a vietnam era tank, I believe. He ran for hours and through all kinds of things. I didn't see him slow up. Not until his tracks were both off the ground did he stop. See what I'm saying here. This is a tank we are talking about. A tank should be able to drop a tree and hardly slow up. Oh well I'm through ranting for now. I do love the new del on water. If you haven't checked it out do so. Man 44 kph on the water now. That baby is sweet.
