Really. If 9 years has shown you anything, it's that they NEVER properly balanced max units after ENDLESS cycles of buffs and nerfs. There's nothing radical about someone who simply remembers how fucking lame they were.
They are a boring class to play as, and they are nothing but a pain in the ass to infantry focused gameplay; which is what has always sold a million billion copies. But if SOE wants to keep them because they already made the models, they're only shooting themselves in the foot.
I wouldn't expect anything less from them. Already counting on writing PS2 off. Someday, someone who first knows how to make a proper shooter will make an MMOFPS, soon as SOE is done fucking it up.

I actually agree to an extinct with this. I never played with the MAX armor in PS1. But as someone said above, they are so iconic to Planetside. Hard to imagine them not there in the second one. Just needs to be balanced properly is all I think.... Be glad they didn't add BFRs again!
IMO, all play-styles should be valid which means appropriate counters to offensive measures.
