G2K2 Armor
 

The armor on g2k2 is way too heavy. My speed is 1.4 it went down to 1. Its not fair that to get the better stuff you have to lose stuff. Everything else we were doesnt slow us down. THe least you can do is make the armor take down like only .1 not .4

See: G2K2 forums.

Platemail in real life was heavy, but a good suit didn't horribly restrict you either. I think i remember some site/book/encyclopedia with an account that some soldiers could do backflips/acrobatics while wearing platemail...

Its kind of realistic... wearing metal plates all over would slow down your motion speed somewhat... plate mail just caps your speed at 1...

about the acrobatics in metal suits... people can have armor specially made for free movement
