BlazingSun Re: Heavy Assault Comm Link 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.

Kran De Loy Re: Heavy Assault Comm Link 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.

It's probably a NC HA weapon, but it really doesn't look anywhere close to the JH.

So it makes me wonder... What happened to my favorite 3 barrels shotgun?!





But yeah... I wanna see more HA guys, and some MAXs too!

The MCG was definitely an under-slung weapon (your left hand hold it from the top) as compared to both the lasher and the jackhammer which were fired from holding it against your arm or shoulder and holding it with your left hand from the bottom.Either way, I think the new jackhammer is NASTY lookingO That thing is going to be bad ass.



In any event, I wasn't aware we'd even seen the new Jackhammer yet (not that I've been paying close attention to HA reveals, since I never used HA in PS1). Care to point me towards what you're referring to?
