ESAV lock on vs. MAX?

TerminatorUK · 2012-02-25, 04:29 PM

So we had confirmation that each faction will have an AV weapon which locks on.

Will the lock on occur against someone usin MAX (limiting their outdoor effectiveness) or will a degree of skill be required to hit them with unguided AV be required?

Please don't lock on to MAX, we're not vehicles.

It was annoying being a Vanu MAX player, because you either had to deal with invisible rockets or BEEP BEEP BEEP POW BEEP POW POW BEEP POW.

Inside, MAXs were annoying. Outside, they were nothing special, and largely got raped by most everything else. ESPECIALLY those damned phoenixes.

Hopefully they work out a way to make them a bit more resistant outdoors without making them OP indoors. Maybe more vulnerable to small arms, but less to AV.

It is a good question though, since MAXs in PS2 are being treated a lot more like heavy infantry than infantry/vehicle hybrids.. Stands to reason that AV may not be the same against them.

Yup..fully agree. Would great to have equally viable outdoor and indoor usage.

MAX aren't vehicles.

You should still be able to dumb fire AV weapons tho. Great way to clear a hall way.
Infantry would be fast enough to dodge while MAXs not as much.

To be honest, with all 3 empires armed with direct fire AV, MAX players will be crying for a nerf on all Lancer-like weapons.

Please god no.

I don't care about the dumb fire, but AV explosive weapons being effective against infantry is literally the worst thing that could happen in this game.

I don't want 20v20 infantry fights to become a game of Halo where people are jumping around firing rockets at each other.

I'd rather keep the AV lock on only to avoid stuff like this. If you want to use explosives and clear corridors, then use a GL.

Sad face
