Best MAX Special Ability

[MilitantB0B]

I was wondering wich empire you guys thought had the best MAX specail ability.
Personaly, I like the VS jumpjets the best, with the TR anchor following up close behind.
Please post your reasons for why you like it and even some tips for using it if you like.

I think anchor is the best ability but jumpjets are my favorite.

[MilitantB0B]

That was what I had always heard, so when I started to make a MAX character, I picked TR. Now that I have played all, I find that I only use the anchor ability when the target is unexpecting or stationary, or when in the CC. The jumpjets, however, I use everytime they are available. Oh well, to each his own.

NC shield+run mode+scatter cannon MAX=teh win

[Zenny]

Jumpjets by far.
The anchors good and all but I hate sitting still
And although I'm all NC, I just hate their shield, just doesnt last long enough for me to care.

[BigFreak]

Yer, jump jets...why go round when you can go over?

[�io]

If it weren't for the damage incured during landing jumpjets would be my fav but since you take damage my pick is TR, then VS then NC. NC shield is more or less useful.

[BigFreak]

Yer, I s'pose mowing down people at like double speed comes in handy sometimes :D *strokes dual cycler*

[Civilian]

VS Jumpjets, easy.

I play TR most of the time and I rarely use the anchors in the middle of a big battle mainly because it makes you a very easy target for the Decimator. When I'm fighting another MAX with my DC's I'm usually strafing around them while firing, and 95% of the time, I win.

[BigFreak]

Yer, most of the time anchors just aren't useful/practical, but when ur anticipating a big attack, lock down and let rip

[JuSTCHiLLiN]

TR maxes locked down in a cc or on stairs are a sonofabitch but other than that I think lock downs make them an easy target. So many times I see VS maxes float over a wall and wish I could do that.

I love it when Terran MAXs ancher themselves down.

Let's me circle around and plant a boomer at his feet.

[Chanfan]

Yeah, I just had that happen to me last night, in fact.

Still, a TR AA MAX anchored, can take down a bird pretty darned quick. I'm finding that useful given how filled the sky is nowadays.

[Navaron]

Jump Jet's all the way-

Anchor rocks in big fights, just lock and zoom in, then unload

The NC shield is worthless. If it stayed up when you fired it wouldn't suck aaaaas much.

[MrVulcan]

have you guys ever seen a group of NC maxs turn on their shield, run to your base, and walk up to you with full health :p

I love the shields, they are great for when an inf tries to go around you, or when you reload, or esp when you charge a base/tower

They are the supreme front line shock troops
(though I wouldnt mind seeing their shield helped some)

(but the others are very good as well, in different areas)

[aiwest420]

I've tried all the max's, and i would have to say the jumpjets are the best....

also, i primarily play as anti-vehicle when im not in a vehicle/max, and i always do aim for the anchored max's first :D

The jumpjets, certainly. VS MAXes can do things other MAXes (and basic infantry) can only dream of doing. NC shields are good too, if used properly - I've had many Striker missiles blocked at the last second by a deft shield activation. I'd say the anchor is the least useful of the three - even indoors, it makes you a sitting duck. Clever infantrymen can kill an anchored MAX without too much trouble.

The sheild should be cahnged alittle bit. I've found it useless from the experience i've had with the NC MAX. I mean, c'mon, you can fly and shoot hwne your VS, double your ROF when TR, but you cant even shoot with the sheild on when NC.

Although i mgiht not just be educated in good tactics with the sheild. IF i'm not, please explain.

[MrVulcan]

true, it is odd, but I find that the shield is great for here and there use, it saves me wehn I am a max all the time.

Bascally it means that you get the 1st shot in, and that you wont be taken out when you are charging a tower/base, also inf have a hard time getting to your blind side since you cna just hit your shield on if you cant hit them.
