From what I've seen and read thus far, the pathfinder class is closest to the Tribes light with energy pack.
The pathfinder loadout is a spinfusor and a shotgun..... Who's idea was that?
This game looks great visually, but more and more these loadouts are giving me a negative vibe. They are making this game more arcade like than TV.
I really don't think that loadouts are the issue. The issue is the whole two weapons per armor thing. Loadouts would be a really good idea, if it was actually a Tribes sequel and loadouts looked like this:
LD/LO/CAP) light, chain, disk, gren, e-pack
LD) light, chain, disk, snipe, e-pack
LD) light, chain, disk, gren, sheild
TF) med, chain, disk, gren, plasma, turrent
TF) med, chain, disk, gren, plasma, invo
HO) heavy, chain, disk, gren, mortar, plasma, e-pack
HO) heavy, chain, disk, gren, mortar, plasma, invo
HD) heavy, chain, disk, gren, mortar, plasma, shield
HD) heavy, chain, disk, gren, mortar, plasma, rep-pack
