It's going to be the new Max Rush.



I think you misunderstood that one. He runs into the building, jumps out of a window, then appears on the other side of the building, then quick knifes the poor bastard who managed to fail killing him (gun accuracy might need to be improved in the game, spreads a little crazy, more based on luck at the moment than it is on a steady hand). What I'd rather see is jumping behind the closest thing resembling a "wall" then shooting around the corner at the guy that shot him/throwing a grenade. Running away from combat is too common. I want to see fighting, not pussyfooting for power shields unless there's at the very least a firing line going on.
Ah, fire lines, good old days of musketry. So tactical and efficient. /sarcasm
