Case in point: Surgile JH.

Having classes makes it easier to balance that kind of thing. That, and they don't want the self-sufficient Rexo supersoldier. Which IMO really was pretty boring as like 95% of Rexo users certed/equipped that way, because it was obviously awesome.

Does that promote teamwork? Well kind of, simply because you have to rely on others to get certain things that you used to bring yourself. Of course, those who don't want to work together with others still won't.

Does the game get dumbed down for it? No. It may well be dumbed down, but not because it has classes and a Heavy can't heal or lay CE.

So being pigeonholed into a more or less limited role by your class compared to being able to do whatever you want depending on how you gear doesn't dumb the game down? Allow me to disagree with that, fiercely.

Yeah i know this whole thing is ot, but face it, without these discussions this thread would have died in 2 pages, because nobody cares about the name of heavy assault, they may prefer one or the other.. but caring? Meh.

Can't do that atm i'm in Rexo.
Can't do that atm i'm Ha.

Who cares? Obviously sky does, but i doubt that even him would cut his wrists because of it.
