how durable are maxes

[Zetre]

all these people are seeming to think that maxes can just sit there and take hit after hit after hit without a problem. Now, i watched the Gamespot vid, and it seems that they can't do that. Some max was getting hit by a frickin punisher, and dies in like 10 shots maybe. It seems to me that maybe 1 or 2 rockets or nades will be fine for takin em down. So, how durable do you, the people think they are?

No way to know except by playing...

[Arshune]

Yeah, seriously...you don't know that the MAX in that vid wasn't severely damaged or something. Nobody's gonna use something that restricts their movement that much if it dies in one or two hits from a grenade.

Fred Flinstone is a communist! Thus, he's Secretary of State for the great Terran Republic! LOYALTY UNTIL DEATH!

[Zetre]

uhhhh, you can only carry a huge amount of nades, and unless the max is really really close to you, you're not going to hit him dead on. I would think that the devs would make at least 1 or two ways to stop a max once it gets inside. Otherwise, everyone is gonna be a MAXer

MAX's are like small tanks, they should be hard to take out.The can also mow down smaller infantry. You may wonder then: What is their weakness?
Their weaknesses are other MAX's, grenades, and tanks.
MAX fights will be close since they both have so much armor. It should only take one or two tank shots to take out a MAX. MAX's are big and slow, so it would be hard for them to dodge grenades that bounce near them.

The moral of this story is: Always bring a tank with you to take out those pesky MAX's.

max has 650 armor so it will probauly be hard to kill if agile has 100 and reinforced has like 200 than yes it will take some hard work.

[Zetre]

that's true, but remember, it will be a lot easier to hit them dirrectly with big stuff because of their extremly slow speed

[Bighoss]

they won't be traveling as individuals they'll go with a pack where there will be more important things to shoot besides a max. I read somewhere that the max's arn't all that slow might be wrong

[Zetre]

they can sprint, but this is mostly only for travelling

[thegame109]

hmmmmm i think maxs will be very hard to take out without a tank other max.

that's depending on the fact that this max is GOOD!.

[Sputty]

If 2 soldiers, each with an anti-armor rocket(decimator, or empire specific) and each having a punisher couldn't take out a MAX that'd be a strong MAX

[Zatrais]

The Agile armor has 50 armor, Reinforced has 100. The lightest armored MAX, the VS MAX has 650 armor points. As for that max in the gamespot vid, it's most likely severly damaged.

[Hellsfire123]

well fred flintstone being a communist was just to good to pass up, but i think they well be well above reinforced armor and just short of most vechicals. So probally be able to take a few nades, but less then a decimator. Im not sure how much armor does in this game, i know it was pretty useless in CS but effective in quake III. I guess we just have to wait and see.

i'd like to know exactly which movie you're talking about, b/c in the movie with the about 6 NC soldiers fighting the VS max, it doesn't die.
