Maxes, Self Destruct

[DoomWarrior]

A few ppl have mentioned this to me on PS, and they say maxes should be able to self detruct incase of near death. Personally i don't think this is a good idea, because all maxes would do is run into a populated area and SD in the middle.

Wat do u think?

[Doppler]

I think they need to bring back the suicide command. This game isnt nearly as exp driven as it once was and it'd be a much nicer solution then having to recall out when you get stuck under the world. Also I dont believe you should be able to blow yourself up and do damage to people just because your a max.

[Reload]

No. As you say, you would have Maxes running into crowds of enemy, just to self-destruct.

[Rayder]

maybe if after you've destroyed your max you couldnt use it again for 24 hours?

[Dharkbayne]

maybe if it needed a five second charge-up , or you have to wait 10 seconds after coming out of run mode, so you wouldn't have any kamikazes

[Hamma]

Bad idea on so many levels :p

Spee wants walking nuclear bomb... :tear:

Sure, why not? Maxes (at least NC maxes) are basically ineffective anyways.

Well, you can't have it all can you.
As said by DoomWarrior, people will self destruct in crowds. In tower defences for example. Think of the poor anchored TR MAXs...

[Biohazzard56]

i think terrahertz is going a lil to far about the Devs favoring the NC , the game is balanced , each empires theme is balanced , and its going to far when you say they favor NC just cause of 2001 screens. Vanu were the 3rd empire considered later it was originally going to be two empires TR vs NC (The evil empire vs. freedom fighters) type scenerio

[Black]

The VS are second favorite :p cause they are both on the regular PS box AND the CC box hey .........weres the TR?

[Rbstr]

THe devs favoring NC makes meremember the Uber Pheonixes from beta

Like yours, those signatures feature the URL of the host site in them.

Oh, and self-destructing MAX's is not a good idea. Wouldn't contribute anything to the game. Being killed by a self-destructing MAX would be almost as stupid as being run over by some *** who happens to know how to get a vehicle that can move over 40kmph.

oh wai

On second thought, I think self-destructing MAX's would fit right in.

[DoomWarrior]

hmmm... this would bring a new meaning to the word suicide bombing, and that would make us no better than the americans... iraq'ians

[Kenney]

I think that a self destructing max could be cool, just have to be like the predator in Alien vs. Predator 2. You can self destruct, but only when your health is below a certain level, and it has a 4 or 5 second count down which everyone can hear. So everyone has 5 seconds to kill the self destructing max or try and hide before everyone goes BOOM.
