sprint

[Zatrais]

Annyone know how sprinting works? will it be stamina based, or something else? who can sprint for how long etc...

[Incompetent]

all i know is it is a MAX ability.

[Madfish]

There is a implant to increase move speed, but as all implants it'll use your stamina to use (time based).

[Zatrais]

Madfish thats Surge..

Surge
This implant boosts the foot speed of a soldier by draining his Stamina to power enhanced leg units. The bulkier the armor being worn, the more Stamina is required to achieve the Surge in speed.

gotten from the implant side

Woah wait a minute.... are you telling me Surge will work with MAX armor????

[Zatrais]

never said that

but since it is an implant ability, why not?

[�io]

Well it was a general question, not directed at your post exactly. :)


Ok so in theory this means you can use the surge implant and the MAX sprint abitlity at the same time, that would mean it could run pretty fast.

*Begins to drool thinking about a VS MAX runnning top speed*

:p

[RocketFodder]

Sprinting doesn't require stamina. You're locked into a specific direction, and you can't turn. Dunno on the cooldown (halt) speed, either.

Its different in a max

In a MAX its built in - You can turn, but slowly kind of like trying to take a sharp turn in a school bus at 60mph its not useful in doors because well, u cant turn hallways, it takes a few secs to slow down

As for running as another armor, it requires surge which uses stamina

[Zatrais]

how fast does the max run in that mode hamma?

er, that sounds like you can only run if you have surge.

thats not right, is it?

[Hamma]

Honestly I didnt notice, there may be a walk key. Surge makes you run much faster tho.

In run mode a MAX can run pretty fast.. i saw one run by a Vangard.

[SVoyager]

hmm interresting info here. the turn rate varies from different armor class?

not sure if i understood right but say im in a light and i turn 180 degree, ill need to do less mouse movement than turning 180 degree with a max????? have i got that right???

sorry my english if im not expressing myself clearly

[Hamma]

Turning is slower in a max because its huge

[Incompetent]

i would imagine the difference between a light and MAX is comparable to the difference between a skeeter and a galaxy if thats what you mean.

[Hamma]

I suppose that would be a resonable comparison :)

[SVoyager]

ahhh yeah thats what i ment. very interresting.

so basicly the aiming will be totally different with each class of armor. it'll have a "heavy" feeling. Feeling like ur moving something big, thus slower and maybe a little less responsive. interresting. i like that, its pretty much different than any other fps that i played. (duh, thats prolly what ps is all about eh :D )

[Zatrais]

uhm a max turns slower and such in normal non sprint mode?

to my understanding a player can
crouch walk (not comfired but whats the chances of it not beieng in for som armors? hehe)
Walk
Run
Use surge to get a boosted runspeed
or use the sprint ability if in a MAX suit

While in the sprint mode a max turns like a brick but in normal run mode it's not to different from other armors, maybee a tad more sluggish than lighter armors...

am i right or far off hamma? hehe

I'm sorry but I just have to say this... RocketFodder got owned! Ahh I've been waiting for this for a very long time!

[m0rphiu5]

lol how sad is that, waitin around for an oppurtunity of saying "narrr narr na na na", must be a vanu thing lol jk

[Jinxmasta]

Well RocketFodder thinks he knows everything and thinks he's all |337 but finally he gets told. I love you Hamma times infinity! :love:

[Hamma]

I did not try and crouch walk. So I dont know on that.. nor am I sure on walking. I did not try that either.

Surge boosts your stamina so you can run/jump faster.

And the MAX does indeed have a nice run feature.. it hauls :) But turns like a mack truck. In normal mode it walks slower than anyone else and still turns harder than your lighter armors.

[Tobias]

what about the Vanu MAX? we know it can jump hella high but is it alot faster then the other MAX's?

[Hamma]

I didnt experience it enough to comment, never tried it either

[Tobias]

Your first thoughts as you went in there were not to try and see everything Vanu?!

[Hamma]

I played for TR when I was there. I did see allot of Vanu and Kill them however, the energy weapons look really cool =)

[NapalmEnima]

So the Vanu weapons... were they beam or projectile or both?

[Hamma]

Mostly energy. But Im not prepared to answer what all their weapons do as I did not play them

[Jinxmasta]

Well we know the Lancer is a beam and the Lasher is some sort of energy orb. I'm guessing that the Pulsar's shots are somewhat like the covenant rifle's in Halo. The Beamer seems like it would also be the same but maybe a bit smaller.
