You're skewing the change into something it's not. The PS2 system is going into a more infantry centric direction where players work together using vehicles in groups rather than forced teamwork. This direction is more interesting for players since it gives all players a combat role and their own vehicle to control and upgrade. The goal is to balance these vehicles so they can work together. This is one thing I've done with my mech idea to keep a balanced maneuverable ground vehicle with a low top speed.

That kind of discussion is only useful for finding out what not to do which is pretty evident in this thread. A lot of people have already brought up those points as things they didn't want to see in very constructive arguments.

It sounds like you want something similar only with like 5x as much ownsauce. It's not needed. It's not going to happen. MAX is a good single player mech implementation. Tougher than a soldier, but lacks versatility and can't be deployed from just anywhere. That's about as good as a mech should be.

You didn't even read the thread. What I described isn't anything like you described. The MAX topic has already been discussed. If you can't tell the difference between a MAX unit and a Mech then you have some serious logical deficiencies, and it's going to be hard to have a meaningful conversation with you.

T-Ray still wants them, and I'm confident in his ability to make change. (That and he sounded like he'd like to model them and bring them into the new PS2 style).
Also I've yet to see a solid argument against this thread. The only legit argument has been that a person doesn't like the chassis design. Other than that it's been a spew of irrational, as Vancha put it, comments. This community can do better than that.
