Travel Mode?

[Destroyeron]

Are their any specific limitations regarding armor?
You must be certified with a suit in order to use it. The MAX suits come with an integrated weapon, and no other weapon may be equipped. The MAX may not fire while it is in Travel Mode.\\


whats travel mode? sprinting?

[Camping Carl]

yes

[TimberWolf2K]

Like auto run, you turn it on and the max takes over the running insted of your legs.
I think dave said they can go pretty fast if they get out in the open.

edit: camping Carl = Crowbar Carl?

[Destroyeron]

Ah, thought so. Be a good time to get a few sniper hits in it.

[Camping Carl]

camping Carl = Crowbar Carl?

Nope. Although I do enjoy playing as a scout in tfc, just so can I wander around hitting my teammates with the crowbar.

[Big Bro]

I've heard that the MAX has a few limitations when in Travel Mode...

They have a huge turn radius, making them less maneuverable.
The cannot fire in this mode.

There might have even been a few more. Can't remember the threads I read this in, so back me up if you know for sure...

[Zatrais]

Why waste perfectly good sniper ammo on a MAX? Tho if i get hit by a sniper round while in travelmode i'll stop and try to hunt down the sniper hehe

[Destroyeron]

It wouldn't kill him, but it'd do damage.

[Hamma]

Travel Mode allows max's to keep up with vehicles, so they can take part in vehicle assaults.

[matt]

Well, isn't the Bolt Driver supposed to be pretty ineffective against tanks, meaning it shouldn't do too good against MAX's either. I was thinking about 7-8 hits. Maybe its just wishfill anti-sniper thinking.

[Camping Carl]

The bolt driver won't be something you'd want to try on a max suit. You'd be better off using a rocket launcher.

[matt]

Would be pretty funny to see a group of about 10 snipers jump out in front of a MAX and all shoot him. :)

[Destroyeron]

Well if you don't have a rocket launcher then you'd wanna do as much damage as possible.

[NeoTassadar]

Problem solved with Lancer sniping (I'm a little obsessed, sorry)! But only for Vanu.:D :vsrocks:

[Destroyeron]

*steals NeoTassadars Lancer*

Give me that!

now how do you work it...*bashes it on a table**lancer fires*

Oh!

[NeoTassadar]

:lol:

[Camping Carl]

Crazy vanu... you won't be able to snipe with a lancer, it's to slow.

Well if you don't have a rocket launcher then you'd wanna do as much damage as possible.

Then I suggest you lay in front of the max suit pretending to be a corpse, and hope he trips over you. :D

Yeah then shove the bolt driver us his poop chute and blow his brains out.

[Camping Carl]

Ouch.

[NeoTassadar]

Read about the Lancer. Second fastest projectile speed. Who cares about reload time, it is supposed to take out tanks, so what do you think it will do to you? Do not attach traits that apply to your AV weapons to us. The Lancer is NOT a rocket launcher. I repeat READ ABOUT THE LANCER BEFORE YOU MAKE A POINT ABOUT IT. Oh yeah, can't go prone, Carl.

[Zatrais]

Wheter or not you can snipe whit the lancer depends on it's CoF at longer ranges... however seeing how it's a beam weapon it should be pretty accurate.

[NeoTassadar]

Ah, yes. We will have to see about that. Yeah, it will most likely be accurate because it is single shot, so recoil doesn't matter.

[Zatrais]

Single shot? The lancer has a slow refire rate.. it isn't 1 shot and discard it like the decimator.

[NeoTassadar]

You don't throw away a single-shot rifle, either. Just means not semi/full-auto. One shot, reload, repeat.

[Destroyeron]

It says not aplicable if its single shot.

[NeoTassadar]

I stand corrected. Same priciple, though. Gives enough time for CoF to close back up.

[Hellsfire123]

back onto the whole max thing, how fast will a max be able to turn normally? Will he have slow turn rate or will it be based on mouse speed? Just wanna know, i think it would be funny to circle straf and knife a max.

[Camping Carl]

it is supposed to take out tanks, so what do you think it will do to you

Given that armor piercing bullets do half damage agaisnt nonarmored targets, (meaning the devs don't want any weapons that are good agaisnt everything) I would pay more attention to the vanu guy with the lasher or the pulsar.

Oh yeah, can't go prone, Carl.

:rolleyes: Wow, really? I suppose next you're going to tell me there's no weapons of mass destruction? Or jetpacks? Or that you can't one-shot-kill a max suit? I was kidding, so lighten up.

[Destroyeron]

Don't know it that was sarcasm, but yeah you can't prone. Only squat and stand.

[Zatrais]

Look at the newest PS vid, you sit inside a turning and strafing NC MAX.... they move pretty damn fast.... faster than i expected

[Destroyeron]

Hopefully not too fast..

[TheKing]

i would be thinkin somethin a little faster than tanks but slower than quads and trikes.

[Tobias]

You could snipe with a lancer, for anti inf the bolt driver is better, It has a longer range and its projectial is the fastest in the game, the secound fastest is the lancer, an almost insta hit anti vehicle weapon, great for sniping max's and showing them where you are.
