I just watched vid from E3 2010 and apparently the heavy bod type wont be able to use the smart system? I don't get it. Whats gunna be the main difference in the body types besides the health?

the way they move, the amount of health and the weapons they can and cant use

they can just not to the same extent as medium and light so things waist height can be moved over and yea the trade off is health as light and medium dont have as much health or choice of weapons or ability use

edit: >.< ninja'd :ph34r: although mine was more detailed

more words =/= more detailed, they said the same thing

no butmore information equals more detail

quick question. did they change the amount equipment/ability usuage for the body types again? like can a light carry/use equipment the same amount as a heavy?

not sure :shrug:

same ammunition yes ability i think no

alright, i hope not since light medics would be over kill if they could revive as many players as heavies. same for engineers with mines.

thanks wraith.

They have the same about of supplies yes.

Edit: Ninjad Wraith'd and apparently I read the question wrong.

i think it would work as the would be able to revive the same amount however heavies wouldnt have to worry about be shot as much while doing it

Heavies have the most health and can use all weapons but has mimnal options for using SMART. Medium can do parkour except for wall hopping (HOPPING, NOT wall running), and they can use light and medium weapons and they have, as you would expecy, average health. Lights can can use SMART to it's full extent, but can only use light weapons and has the smallist amount of health compared to the other body types.

All bodytypes have the same amount of supply pips, some perks/skills/etc can increase your maximim supply pip count.

To be specific with respect to parkour, heavies can only vault over objects that are about waist height. Mediums can climb over objects that are about as tall as they are. All the while, Lights can do a "wall hop" (which is basically like a double jump up a wall) to reach taller platforms.

Indeed.

Amount* (Long day at work? I know how you feel)

And yes everything about ammo and supplies is the same. The difference between body types is:
1)Function of the SMART system
2)The weapons that can be used.

Fixed

Tho im sure you can increase your health with perks and such.

You can.

But everyone can do that, so assuming both players have every bonus possible, the Heavy will still have more health.

Also, I was surprised how nimbly the heavy can jump over waist high things, I'd have expected him to have a different animation.

This is correct.
