Not the regenerating sort, the solid projectile deflecting kind. They've had a role in other games that Planetside 2 is all ready taking some influences from.

I think in a Planetside setting they could really shine, especially with some coordinated effort.

I was discussing MAXs with a friend, how their role is changing a bit from a powerful tool on a cooldown to a common class spawning with us at Galaxies and I think squad spawning. Really the MAX is the new Heavy, Rexo is the medium, and the others are light armor variants. With interchangeable weapons putting in a shield would be easy. Some could argue the MAX is all ready a bullet sponge, but a solid shield has completely different tactics, and I don't think it would slow down the gameplay really. I could also see Rexo armor with a shield.

Anyone else thought about this?
