It would be really cool if they were able to eventually create exo suits that'll let me do titalfall-like wall running :) Just cuz its really cool.

Exactly what I was thinking. Being able to apply force at different angles would make for an interesting test for a project like this. Sure it can make you run farther, but can it make you jump higher? What about prolonged ability to run on a steep incline (either parallel or perpendicular to the slope)? Once again it seems like the applications of this tech is dependent on energy technology that may not exist yet. Where's my pocket fusion generator?

That sort of suit already exists for warehouse jobs, and they will get more athletic with time.
