Cool. I don't think I'd actually used an infantry terminal before. I generally don't survive long enough for it to matter. Today I played as a MAX. I walked into a room (I had full health) and found an enemy MAX facing away from me. I, of course, opened up on him with both my weapons, the machine gun and the cannon thing. I shot him over and over for a good five seconds, and then he turned around and shot me once, and I died. So now I'm not playing MAX anymore.
However, I got 11 kills today, mostly as Infiltrator. I've finally got 100 certs, so I can actually buy stuff now. Is the forward grip worth it for my sniper rifle, or should I get a new rifle instead? How much does that actually decrease the recoil? Would a rifle I can get for 100 certs be worth losing my 10x scope?
EDIT: I've got enough certs to afford the first bolt-action sniper rifle, which has improved damage and accuracy at the cost of much reduced rate of fire. I think I'm probably going to go for that unless anyone knows a reason not to.
MAXs are not the same for all three empires.
NC MAXs are superior at infantry and MAX killing because of their empire-specific anti-infantry weapons, which happen to be three massive shotgun barrels mounted on each arm ( six barrels of pure pain ) which insta-gibs infantry within 10 meters and murders enemy MAXs.
TR MAXs come in second, with their dual chainguns.
Vanu MAXs are the worst, having the least accurate anti-infantry weapon of the three.

TR. Always TR. And yeah, I think I'm going to get it. I think the wiki may be screwed up, though. It lists it as doing 4.25 times as much damage as the default sniper rifle, and that one seems to take four body shots to kill someone. I can't imagine the the 100-cert rifle one-shots people.

I know. I miss my Machina. Not only did it kill most classes with one body shot, but it also reloaded faster, hit instantly, and had no bullet drop. If I had a Machina in PS2 I would have taken the Crown by myself last night.

But if you did, every other sniper would, and no one would play anything but a sniper for having the most OP weapon in the entire game.

But... that would be awesome. I would love a game that was nothing but sniper duels with Machinas, especially in a huge world like PS2's.
