Lets play the game, then we can debate about balancing whatever we think needs added/subtracted from the game.

All we know is that infiltrators will be able to cert more into hacking than everyone else will.

At this stage, it's hardly worth any kind of argument over.
Well then, just pack up this section completely. Ok Hamma, you heard 'em. We can't talk about the game until it's in beta.

That's true, but it is an addition and it's not mandatory. It gives LA a different way to play that class. That's also why i snuck the idea of linking squad leader to the LA as well. Like engineers and medics, hackers and squad leaders are support roles and therefore should be squishier. The LA is a great template for those roles.

Listen guys, I have no hard feelings about people poking holes in my ideas, it helps me refine them. But by the same token, I don't post ideas that's don't believe in or won't defend, so if you're going to poo-poo it, then expect a response.

LA is the perfect scout. Mobility is key for scouting.
Not at all. Infiltrators ARE Sniper/Scouts. Sabotuer dove-tails into that role perfectly.
