>I never had the problems people had with the Mako, either. My one problem with the Mako was just how damn long it took the shields to regenerate. Like, I could go make a sandwich in the time that took.
I liked tooling around in it and shooting stuff with it, I really did. But it heavily incentivized deeply conservative play, because you needed to either get to the end of the driving sequence and/or clean out the planet you were on, and if you died you lost your progress unless you were diligent about saving.
So you were encouraged to creep around very slowly and snipe things from very far away rather than smash into obstacles with your awesome space tank, guns a'blazing, or to move in tight on a Colossus and dodge between its legs and suchly, because if you fucked up that was it. Hell, not even if you fucked up; if you just took a bunch of shield damage you had to wait an unreasonable long period.
