Like Reinforced assault or even something lame like a juggernaut, even that would better IMO.

Like does anybody know what the weapons lasher, MCG and JH are designated as now since they cant really be "heavy assault weapons" thats leaves it too confusing with the HA class been able to use LMG's too.

Yes, I agree 100% that using "Heavy Assault" as the name for a player class in PS2 when its the name of a weapon class in PS1 is somewhat awkward and annoying since it can easily lead to confusion about what specifically someone is talking about, especially since all 3 PS1 Empire-specific HA weapons are going to be in PS2.

I really wish they'd rename the Heavy Assault and Light Assault classes to "Heavy Infantry" and "Light Infantry" instead.

Not only is it more conventional nomenclature that is actually used by modern Armed Forces and as such would be familiar to those of us with military backgrounds, but it alleviates the potential confusion some PS1 vets may have since we tend to equate the term "HA" with the weapon type, not the player class.

I was just thinking this too!

A renaming of their Light Assault or Heavy Assault, or both so that one would be named 'Assault'. New title: Trooper, and Light Assault would be perfect as 'Assault'

heavy assaults: Troop/er
light assaults: Assault

surely it doesn't matter anymore? you used to be able to get an agile with a HA wep, so they'd need to be seperated, but now only rexo carries HA, they're the same thing. A HA wep is carried by a HA trooper, you'd refer to both or either as HA and everyone would still know what you mean.

Come on, dudes. Heavy Assault class uses Heavy Assault weapons.

Not so tricky imo.

Ah yea, Heavy infantry works, its what people typically refereed to as rexo/ha/av. and would make the most sense as the new class name.

I have a brain that functions on an average level and therefore I do not find HA to be confusing. It's not really a big deal.

MCYRook · 2012-06-21, 10:13 AM

Habituality is a strange thing. It makes "HA" as a player class pretty awkward right now for any PS 1 vet. But in a year from now, noone will mind anymore.

Actually, everyone will just call them "Light" and "Heavy" for short anyway.

The Degenatron · 2012-06-21, 10:28 AM

I will have a hard time calling it anything but a "rexo". People will just have to get use to hear it from the "old-timers".

Turdicus · 2012-06-21, 10:44 AM

heh, "when I was your age we called them rexos, none of this HA hoohaa!"

I don't care much about the name, but more about the fact that some weapons/tools are going to be class restricted, that simply isn't the ps way.

From what I got of it, that's the way they get money in their F2P model while trying to avoid super soldier effect somehow

Call it the 'Adorable Rabbit' class, makes no difference to me.

NewSith · 2012-06-21, 10:59 AM

It's fine.
