Why dont MAXs have a melee weapon?

I kind of like this idea too....sacrifice yourself for the team/group. But they should increase the wait in your spawn time if you do this...maybe 5 to 10 min delay or something. That way people aren't suiciding all over the place just to get the kills and not suffering the consequences for such an action. This way you would be forced to use it more strategically.

Then why don't we all put on tye-dye pajamas and slice each other with katanas?

mm...katana...

BTW, howcome maxes cant use REK, BANK, etc (i realize its for balance, so we dont have invincible one man armies, but they still have a spare hand...heck, the TR have two spare hands) And it would be awesome to have a lightsabre thingy...kinda like gundam or something

lol they dun need a melee weapon, just turn on autorun an let get a good shoe-shine

VS: short range cutting laser
NC: Just punches them
TR: No mellee, bother their arms are dedicated to weapons, so they can't melee.

Might turn out to be an interesting way to balance the other maxes against the TR's.
