I spent some time hacking around the other night in my Max - Tried a cavern battle. It's definatly not fun when someone whips by you in a stealth suit and jumps into an ancient gun turret and introduces you to some artifact power. Think i lasted all of 3 seconds on that one. After multiple times of getting blown away by the invisable guys - I decided to try my like on forsal - the NW (blue guys) were picking on the red guys (Terran's) and it was a full out war.
I did get one bit of revenge in the caves however - I came across a parked AMS (Spawn point - Truck thingy) I couldn't destroy it in an anti infantry Max, but i could make people's lives difficult, Pop, Spawn, Wham. Dead. I was having all kinds of fun untill one of my team mates shot it up with a tank. Oh well, It's war.
Back to forsal - It was a messy fight. Capture a tower, Attack a base, lose the tower and be forced to recapture it. I'm begining to find that any time i spawn in a undefended tower - I have to jot my way up the stairs and blow some rounds into the tower control. More often then not i'll shred some stealthed hacker trying to get a tower on his own. Annoying having to back track all the time. Good Combat xp however.
Anyway, I've managed to make BR 6 - While this isn't super spectacular it does allow me to get an implant - I'm probably going to take the one that allows me to so how much a health/armor/shield a person has, as it will allow me to see that i'm actually hitting someone... I don't think the regen one is particuarly useful - Maybe for a sniper, but i run around in max's If something can blow through my 600 points of armor then regening health isn't going to do much for me. Neither will the fast feet one - In a max you can either plod or run like the wind. There's no medium speed. Besides i don't think fast feet will work in a battle suit..
So thats it for now, I'm hoping to get back into the action on saterday. SO many things to do, so little time
