Gate Shields are actualy a vunerability. - Page 4

That could be a reasonable strength for MAXes. Could support gate crasher sundies that way.

For infils I mostly would like the objectives to move into more defensible areas that even LAs have some trouble getting to and get perma cloak at the cost of killing power (current main weapons).

How about a comprimise, make it so there are 2 generators power the shield 1 which powers the "infantry shield" (yellow) and 1 that powers the "vehicle Shield" (blue) creating the full Shield (Green). WHen your attacking you can take out the infantry shield allowing infantry to pass through but keeping out vehicles, or the vehicle shield allowing vehicels to pass through but not infantry. Once they are both down the shields are dissabled?

Thoughts?

Arn't there too many randomly spread gens for defenders to keep an eye on already? :/

Half the time defending such a base you're running back and forth to courtyard gens on the other end of a base.

Might be a little different defending experience if the opposition cannot pass through the gate shield at all when they start attacking.

Not really, they're usualy set off by LA that just jumped over the nearest wall to it and in some occassions infils. It is far rarer to have HA and medics or even engineers set them off.

Yeah I have no idea why they don't lock out infantry from going through the gates. It's kind of insane right now.

LA would have much more of a purpose, it would lower the amount of HA on the battlefield, and it would give much more intensive for coordinated galaxy drop ships.
