You know those MAX melee weapons

Lightening claws or a relic chain sword... This would make Sethy very happy

I thought about it some more last night. And I realized that it isn't just the TR who wont be able to make good use of Melee weapons the NC wont either really. The shield will help them gain ground but it wont help them kill kiting Infantry. As Infantry move faster than MAX. In fact even if you use Charge this allows you to kill at best one person. Cause then its on cooldown an your back to slow speed an being kited. And hell if your NC this is a downgrade from your Shotguns in every aspect.

It's only the Vanu who really have an ability being added that seems tailor made to make them a melee powerhouse. Since ZOE allows them to move as fast or faster than regular Infantry so no kiting. The only way there will be any kind of parity between the MAX's will be if melee weapons can be used while sprinting.

Since NC is space-Murica they should have the right to bear arms.

By which I mean big f*ck-off Grizzly Bear arms grafted straight onto the suit.

Lol to above poster, that'd be a great pun.
