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

They could fix a few things but overall it's perfect.

You've still got to clear anything that would be in it's way out first. Sure, I've had worse but there are also many better out there.
Your definition of perfect is rather broad.

on reading it again it makes perfect sense although it's nonsense

wat

[Bags]

I meant the idea was perfect, but the implementation could be slightly improved.

Agile:


Rexo:


However I don't think PS2 will even have holsters, let alone inventories at all. It sounds to me as if it will be a more BFBC2 style system, where you choose your primary and secondary weapons, support tools, etc from a limited selection depending on your armour or class.

I think where pretty much on the same page here
as an example, I did a slightly different version of what you had in mind, bit I've no problems with how version looks

I've been thinking about the same thing OP.

Additionally, what would be cool is if some weapon addons contributed to the 'size' of the weapon.
So you could add a silencer and extended mags to a MA rifle, but that would make it primary sized.

I think he intended on the medium size slot being more of the primary slot for rifles and shotgun type of weapons. Then the large slot being more of your HA or AV slot, where the bazooka class weapons and mass casualty producing weapons would go.

Exactly spot on. I suggested that awhile back when I also suggested Adv Rexo (5 certs Rexo +Adv Rexo). Adv Rexo would basically be today's Rexo with another 3x9 inventory space.

[Bags]

If they made Rexo cost 8 certs I'd just drop advanced medical and hacking for it.

Sorry that your max doesn't allow you to kill multiple people at the same time! Sounds like you think everyone having HA/AV is unbalanced because they can kill you. And what strange world do you live in where having HA/AV is having "everything"?

Sorry if I have to disappoint you, but I still play PlanetSide and sadly that strange world that seems to be alien to you, is my daily surroundings when I log in to Planetside. Also, where in my description, did you get the general idea I'm a MAX-unit user? Sadly I'm the guy along those other HA/AV users who switched to an decent AV weapon to properly greet the MAX with a Decimator.

A MAX units is still an though opponent to face, but with that many troops around you who are packing AV, they go down a whole lot faster than my early days of Planetside, where AV was lacking and people were not able to carry both due to lack of certification points.

yes like you said many troops around you. If you face a MAX one on one it should be a fairish fight with the advantage depending on the range it starts at.
If one MAX finds 3-4 troops at once they should die fast. 1 on 4 no matter the armour people should die.
If that MAX is every able to chew 3-4 people up at once then we've got a severe issue (and tbh splatters can already do that in decent hands)

As it should be. If you want maxes to go toe to toe with multiple AV users then it should cost far more than three certs.

Remove my AV and I'll just destroy maxes with AP bullets, so whatever.

yay

The power of a max comes through teamwork. If I hear a scattermax, I pull AV. So you pull up next to the max with your JH and waste me and my friends.

[Sovereign]

Maybe if they could make it akin to how you can manage an assortment of weapons like in Mass Effect where you can carry a AT or "heavy weapon" then two supporting weapons and pistols but I would prefer the aforementioned solution..

[Logit]

As long as they allowed more favorites I see no problem with tweaking how it was done from the original, rather than remove it all together.

Sorry to disappoint you again, but that little purple icon the upper right corner means I don't use JH or MCG's. In the early days of Planetside the Lasher might have done the job to waist you and your friends, but nowadays, it's a joke. But that`s a different debate.

yea hopefully they'll redisgn that POS for PS2 :P
The thing either sucked solo or owned in a group there was no middle ground ^_^

[Aractain]

I hope the new lasher is like unicorn magic. A vanu solider could have a emitter on his helmet and strains his head towards the target and concetrates REALLY hard. The target would then glow.

Thats about the same effect as when I used the lasher last, so...
