All the traditional HA's are hip-slung. Heavy Assault troops can also wield LMGs, like the Cycler ARV or the Heavy Guass.

Oh. I thought I was being a facetious smart-ass. So the Jackhammer really is hip-slung, now?

That's pretty wild and.. kinda hot.

The idea of an NMG strikes me as a surreptitious way of making HA's stand still for sniper fire. I don't know if it gives them invulnerability or just damage resistance, but a bolt driver could certainly punch through plain damage resistance if it's just a flat value.

That is what all PS1 Vet's should have. Beer can helmets.

Beautiful, just beautiful...

Every iteration of the different armour sets always seem to get better and better

Ya'all are going to have to break the stupid trinity habit you have, saying that the Rexo suit is a tank.... it's not

this is a tank

The Rexo suit is HEAVY INFANTRY, say it with me class, H.E.A.V.Y - I.N.F.A.N.T.R.Y.

So no more mmorpg slang, we're rocking the MMOFPS slang now.
Get with the program.

Looking at this picture makes me wonder how anyone could vote for TR as worst looking empire so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the NC version will look as good.

I was talking to some coworkers about what the this week's class would have to be HA, then next week if they continue the class thing is the MAX. Only two left.

I also called that TR would get the close up shot for the announcement, VS will be shown on Wednesday, TR on Thursday and NC on Friday.

I like that 'Quit moving and take less damage' ability. I don't think HA will be any less mobile then say the Engi, but that ability will certainly encourage a less mobile play style while under enemy fire. Also LA having to focus fire on HA's will be nifty.

That ability probably doesn't do much protection from a good knife in the kidneys, either.
