Confirmed although my CPU is a lot better than your dual core.
Ps1 was a great game and way ahead of it's time and yes in some ways it was better but I have to disagree that it was just flat better. Thats rose tinted goggles set to maximum I'm afraid. Yes it was nice but it may as well be shut down now, even f2p won't revive it for more than a brief time imo.
In short PS2 is not perfect, it has many flaws but it is improving all the time and in 2013, whether or not it has everything that made Ps1 great in 2003 it is the better game imo, times have changed. PS1 died long ago. PS2 will hopefully keep getting better.

I find it hard to come of it at times many a night I've checked the time and it's well into the early hours.
I can't see why anyone would recommend PS1 when the playerbase will be tiny now.
I totally agree it's way better than anything I've ever played before
and you actually feel as if you achieve something after every game

Max update has been delayed and I been saving certs up for it. Have 1770+ saved so far. Think I will will hit 2000 today and spend a little on some other upgrades.

What does the max update entail?

TR gets Lock-Down mode, this is pretty much the same as the Prowler, increase fire rate, reload speed and projectile speed. This is going to make our AA Maxes a true terror weapon.
VS gets a firepower increase/defence down mode, like the TR Max their AA Maxes are gonna be pretty deadly.
NC gets the Riot-Shield, this only protects the front and disables their weapons.
Also the Max anti-vehicle weapons are getting buffs.
Am not sure if this is included in this update, but there are new weapons coming for the Maxes, there is going to be a Max NS Grenade Launcher and each side is going to get Empire specific weapons, so far they have shown in a video that TR is getting a Rocket Launcher that fires a barrage of dumb-fire rockets.
We are also getting travel mode back, this disables weapons but makes you move at a really fast speed.
I really missed travel mode for MAX's. It might make them a bit too squad independent though.
Really want to see how the MAX shield is gonna work out.
TR max's are gonna become a sniper target I reckon when locked down

Shooting a Max with a sniper rifle is pointless, you can't headshot them and all you do is take a few bars of health down.
I really do just stand there when someone wants to snipe me, because if hes sniping me, then hes not sniping infantry who can be killed with one shot, just takes a tiny moment to repair.

NC get the shaft again i see, if the lock on 5 shot missile launcher wasnt already enough AA for the TR.
What happened to the flame thrower?
4750 here, not specifically saving for that update... NC shield is very underwhelming imo, but still holding off spending until then. Still rather they take their time with it though, they've generally kept a good pace with getting patches out compared to most games really.
I think Flamethrowers will be in that patch, possibly grenade launchers (which I think will be a silly addition and nerfed to hell in a month), not sure about the Empire specific stuff because as you say they've only shown or spoken about the TR one so clearly a lot of work to do on those.
Very underwhelmed with the NC ability, it will be useful but hyper-situational, whereas the lockdown ability is just plain useful on every loadout (as you say as if TR needed more AA ability, populations swinging their way big time in the last month or so thanks to 4th empire morons), VS ability I guess we need to see it in action.
Flamethrowers will be with the max update, they demonstrated them towards the end of last week's Friday Night Ops on their twitch channel.

Kinda have mixed feelings about the Flamethrowers, looking forward to them but they gonna ruin FPS I bet for a lot of players once squads upon squads start using these. :/
Just bought 5000 SC for £13 from a US seller, feeling like it's Christmas.

I would rather they didn't add them personally mostly due to the fps issues they will no doubt cause but so be it.... will be interested to see what range they have because (despite the epic proportions of whining against NC) maxes with short range weapons are very easy to take out if you use 2 brain cells.
