Max should have mele.

[WCruler]

I saw alot of posts about this but no threads about this.

If i am not mistaken then why dont max's have a mele option, I mean cant you picture a max running out of amo after plowing down lines and lines of guys, so he switches to axe mode (or pistol wip mode) and runs after this little noob with a mini beamer.

It would suck to be that mini beamer lol, camping behind this little rock and suddenly this huge max runs right at you and BAM...

:eek::whip: or :domotwak:

Actually there was a thread like this a while ago, I made it...most people thought I was kidding though I think. I suggested a punch attack.

[Sputty]

I think that while the MAXes would be too cumbersome and heavy to punch it'd also screw with gameplay allowing the MAX to defend against even close range atacks from combat engineers and AT soldiers making them impervious to enemy soldiers.

Well since the MAX is a large, encumbersome, mini-tank, I doubt they have the flexibility or manueverability to do any form of melee attack. The best you can do is go to speed and hope to hit someone with your poor turning radius.

max's should be able to transform into trucks and helocopters and they should be able to jump in the air and grab a reever and thunder smah it to the ground ooo and dig holes and hide in em so when soldiers walk over you can jump up and grab em you should also be able to punch through walls and also and and and and and ..... anyways im sure they wont put punching in cause it will make the game unbalanced

NC and VS maxes need something to use the other hand for.

I got an idea:brow:

I don't neccesarily think maxes need melee but as a dedicated PS fan I think the maxes are the most poorly thought out part of the game.

you didnt see the humor , you know 'other hand " not "doing anything :brow: ah:brow: ah yah now yer gettin it :D

I agree that maxes were probably poorly thought out. We'll have to see if they get the balance right, but right now I see them really stomping everything, and leaving infantry to only hack. I mean, why take medium armor if you're not going to be a hackor or a medic if you can take max armor and have all that armor and firepower?

[ABRAXAAS]

Because you wont be able to use all the weapons and you have no mobility ;)

[quiet]

You won't have "no mobility", just less.

maxes have almost 3/4 the speed of reinforced armor (and more than 6 times the armor).

Plus they can do their build up run and have vehicle like speeds.

Hell, if your vanu you even get jump jets.

[ABRAXAAS]

Im going to use max armour but persoanly it will get a little boring it will be like mechwarior all day so regular armours will be good if just for the change of weapons:D

[quiet]

:D I have similar thoughts.

Except I wish PS was more like mechwarrior with fully customizable speed/armor/weapons.

[Hellsfire123]

But then it would be FPS mech commander.

Then why not just go play Mechwarrior? :lol:

I think MAXs should be copied from rock'em sock'em robots. :D

You make it sound like 90% of people will be running around in MAXs. Truth is, if 25% of people go into the game thinking about going around in Max armour, about half of them will find something more immediate (less certs) for them to get involved in. That means just a little over 10% of people will get MAX armour. Granted it will dominate the infantry battlefield, but an Anti-air or Anti-infantry MAX will get it's ass kicked by a tank, and an Anti-tank MAX will get taken out by an infantryman with a rocket launcher.

And on topic, the only melee attack I can imagine a MAX doing is a broad sweep of it's arms, knocking over infantry so he can step on them. That, while effective against the some armour, will be useless against others (Agile armour getting up before it can be stepped on, reinforced armour preventing most of the damage done to the person inside, allowing him to respond quicker). Let's face it, the players are walking around in armour that can stop a futuristic sniper rifle from killing outright, so a lumberous punch won't do too much.

Those kicked butt. Bang bang bang bang *head pops up* That entertained me for minutes, maybe even seconds. :domotwak:

[Moloch]

dude, maxes are so cumbersome (prob) that the speed they moved there arm at would be so slow anyone could dodge it. Also, I don't imagine they are very flexible, so it would have to be a slow hook, which would make the travel time of its fist even longer, making it impractical

hell, I dodge knife swipes in games by ducking, I can dodge a slow left hook with ther crouch function any day

:rolleyes:
Wouldn't a FPS mech commander just be mw 4?
increased customization in no way removes any of the features that make PS unique it would just add an intersting tactical depth and a little rpg flavor.

Haven't I seen you argue for increased power of sniper rifles and headshots? Wouldn't it be pretty lame response for some one to say, " Then why don't you just go play cs? :lol: " ?

Well as far as TR and NC go, there off to a good start. :p
