Enough with the ZOE already!

    MAX units have one main disadvantage. Mobility.

    Aegis Shield compensates for it by increasing effective health, which lets Scattergun MAXs close the distance without losing half their health in the process.

    Lockdown emphasizes it in exchange for increased firepower, which compliments the TR's trademark of increased fire rate and higher mag capacity.

    But ZOE, ZOE completely eliminates the MAX's downside. So you have twice as much hp as standard infantry, move faster and have more firepower. The "downside" is 20% additional damage taken, which is nothing, as you move too fast to be tracked by infantry and even if they could, the extra damage taken is negligible, especially if you roll with an Engineer. There's hardly any reason to play standard infantry over ZOE in its current state.

    If this is not fixed ASAP this game will fall apart, and in all honesty its being held together by chewed gum and prayer as it is.

    Nerf the hell out of it the harder the nerf the better. Honeslty I would like to see it rendered useless in most situations like the other max abilities.

    Until every last TR puts away his or her striker, and every NC stops using the Vanguard derpshield, there will be ZOE.

    In my pants.

    Remove the ability to revive them, then we can at least spam the area with explosives and make some progress.

    Just decrease the speed a tiny bit because I do agree it is a bit too fast and add in some momentum so you cannot just stop on the spot.

    Why are you comparing the VS MAX to infantry instead of... other MAXes?

    OMG the NC shield can block more bullets than the infantry shield NERF NOW!!!!!!!!!

    If you compare any MAX to infantry, guess who is going to look better?

    Try using your head next time.
