Any other Engineers depressed by *Roadmap*?

    Engineer is one of the top 3 most polished classes, and that's just speaking for infantry - not even counting vehicle usage. It could always use more options/tweaking/etc. of course, but it's by no means the ugly duckling. LA don't even have something for their tool slot. Jump Jets are amazingly useful so they're mostly getting along fine, but yeah. And don't even try to claim MAX is fine. If all you see is dual Mercies/Hacksaws (or Bursters) kill you and say "wow, they're really good" then stop by the MAX forum. So many quality of life improvements they don't have. Or look at how you'd cert a MAX and realize there's -maybe- three choices to make, tops (and that includes the choice of what to use as your AI weapon setup).

    Only class I play as infantry more than Engineer is Medic, and sure it would be great to have more stuff that makes you feel like an Engineer. More interesting applications of mines, more ways to shape the battle(field), different turrets, etc. The suggestions are everywhere, most of them great. It's just not as lacking of fundamental class mechanics as some of the other classes though, so it's not a high enough priority to feature prominently in the 6 month plan.

    I would be surprised if a major revamp of Medic or HA was done before Engineer, though.
