Re:Is anyone else thinking super soldiers? (Score 1)

These super soldiers would be the ideal elite task force. A small team could be dropped into a battle zone without the need to land the chopper or cargo plane. All the would need is air sleds to give them drag. The suits would absorb the rest of the impact. This kind of delivery and mobility would be ideal in urban combat scenarios.

Also, they may not manuever in for hand to hand in these suits, but moving wreckage and other large heavy obstacles would be an added advantage to any unit in the field. The term that comes to my mind is a "heavy" with a bona fide BFG attached to every unit.
