MAXs and Meele

Marinealver · 2012-05-22, 12:24 PM

Just thinking about game mechanics though I do know that Planetside is a FPS so hand to hand is more of a side form then an acutal game changer. (we definatly dont want a sword rush like halo 2) But just something for a MAX to avoid that cheap lone gunman who would circle jerk the max running around and shooting it point blank in the back. Mabey say a bash attack or mabey even a knock back.

Heck had one idea for animations the VS just dose a simple 3 strike slash attack. No specia stuns or anything just quick and imple. The NC would do a slower 3 strikes with the last one being a knockback/down or stun attack. The TR would instead pick up a poor softy slam him on the ground 3 times (or just bash the ground 3 times sending a point blank shockwave if no one was grabbed.) then throw the poor guy a few yards away.

The picture is just a gif I made out of some screenshots. (Lost them after my laptop got stolen) I know it is crappy because I used it for my Avattar and also transforming JPEG to GIF didn't really do much for graphics, but hey I made it and no one els has a gif like it so I'll keep it.

The quote saying is sort of a gag I type when in the gunner seat of a Galaxy. I am basicly paraphrasing a quote from "Full Metal Jacket" said by the Side gunner of a Helo. I just replace V.C. with N.C. and the parenthies "()" are something I added that was not in the movie basicly saying that the TR is more orginized and the NC are a bunch of loosly scattered rabbles, just to try and tie in with the fiction though I know that is fiction and not true.

No, because MAX suits do need peripheral weakness as well as weaponry weakness. What you call "circle jerking" some of us call viable tactics. We take advantage of your immobility and blind spot, something that can't be taken advantage if you were a grunt.

One scene is him getting imprinted for BFR use, another is him running either an LLU or an advanced tech upgrade, and one is him being shot at by what appears to be a TR DC anchored down from on top of a hill.

How about it's a good thing a MAX can be killed in the back?

Ruffdog · 2012-05-22, 01:59 PM

MAX + no support = dead MAX

Agreed but I want to see it get shot in the back with a Decimator or a boomer, not someone running or jetpacking in behind and circile around with a machine gun or submachine gun.

I hate circle jerk fights of simply running arpund an enemy at point blank. It looks retarded. Atleast with say a meele strike it could end it faster or break up the dizzy spinfest.

No melee besides knives please

Vanu MAX =energy sword arm, TR/NC = slashing arm attachment.

Wouldn't mind seeing MAXes carry a shield in their left hand that supplements their defensive capabilities, as well. Good for blocking doorways!

I've long thought MAXes should be more like Terminators in W40K.
