Personally I like the fact that they can't jump in PS2. It gives the suits a feeling of real weight behind them, like you're humping a couple hundred kilos worth of powered armour, which let's face it, you are.

Sort of a "leap" to allow them to dodge some AV or vehicles ramming if use skillfully, and to keep them unpredictable when players are fighting them (If you know it's simply going to trudge around, its easy to kite. If it sometimes leaps forwards varying distances, it becomes a lot harder to fight).
Perhaps there could even be a point in certing overdrive where you could transition from a fully charged leap into an overdrive sprint!

I was thinking something along the lines of a slow climb. So you hold down the "jump" key and over the next few seconds the MAX would grab or brace his arms on the railing (or whatever) and slowly swing over first one leg, then the other.
That'd let them (evetnually) go over any obstacle that's about waist-high. But they're not gonna be using it for dodging or chasing after injured softies.
