Equipment/Weapon slots, more than two sizes this time?

Planetside had only two type of equipment slots, small and large.
Small holsters for pistols, grenades or other small utility devices and large holsters for everything else, mostly weapons but a few utility devices as well.
I'm really keen to discover if PlanetSide 2, will have weapons and utility devices split up in more groups, like small medium and large instead of only two. To limit equipment load outs.
(example)
Infiltrator, 1 small holster
Standard, 2 small holsters and 1 medium holster
Agile, 2 small holsters and 1 medium holster
Reinforced, 2 small holster, 1 medium holster and 1 large holster
Rexo’s running around with Heavy Assault and an AV weapon is now a day’s a very common sight, including myself. But there are many times, I wished this wasn’t possible for I kind of believe it had a negative effect on game play. When planetside just got released and people where still relatively low in battle rank, the game felt more balanced, only because people didn’t have the certification to carry everything around yet. A single MAX unit was effective against infantry indoors, for only a few where packing AV. Now a MAX is less scary, for the second it shows up on radar or people get a glimps of him, it’s not just one or two players in the mob switching to AV, but nearly everybody to over exaggerate a little bit =D
