Simba, MAXs acan be revied, but not to full health, maybe 20-25%.

Can only repeat it again: DEVs said TR are those with the uber armor, NC only got big weapons. They are average about movement and armor. Should not make them so hard to kill at all.

And havent't you all seen the new trailer? This VS Max was pretty fast while in air, also got a superior firing position up there.

I'll hit an NC MAX with my "STFU Cannon" aka Lancer.

Wish I had seen the trailer, my computer is amazingly pathetic , it has a hard time loading these forums.

If the MAX's have different turning speeds I'm sure they will be balanced.

NC MAX does sound perfect for base capping.
TR MAX perfect for base defence.
VS MAX perfect for running away.

BTW, Spider and ALias nice sigs

dont worry quiet, the film was a huge dissapointment

to me anyway.

quiet · 2003-03-06, 08:49 PM

Any particular reason it was disappointing Simba?

I thought it was wonderful, the 3rd person shots had a lot of graphical weakness, and this re-affirmed that the graphics will be fine.

2 sec �sceens, then change, 2 sec sceens, then change, thats a total of 15 smalls sceens that u didnt understood a shit off, tho the reaver taking off (or skeeta, dont rememba) was the best part

stregnths:
TR: Rate of fire, armor
NC: POWAH, Versatility
VS: speed, accuracy

each side has two stregnths. the NC tend to want their weapons and soldiers to be versatile and powerful, hence the presence of the Gauss (power) and the Phoenix(versaitlility) in their arsenal. The TR wants its troops able to fill the air with metal while still taking a beating, so chainguns and heavy tanks make sence. the Vanu want maneuverability, speed, and accuracy, explaining the jumpjets on the max, the hover ability of the tanks, and the barely-any kick of their weapons. so there is no real unbalance of power if each side uses their stregnths.

this game reminds me of starship troopers.

Except it doesn't suck.
And there are no aliens.

This is a blatent misquote. Try useing CTRL C and CTRL V next time. I said "or" not "and". Each MAX is only effective against 1 type of unit, not all 3. So even if you have an evenly split squad of 4 AI, 3 AT, and 3 AA, that leaves at least 6 members of your squad vunerable to any 1 attack.

Also, you cannot heal or repair your buddies, so a single sniper could hit-and-run until all the maxes were dead. A few people with a real anti-vehichle weapon such as the Lancers, Rocklets, or even punnishers could decimate your uber MAXes in a short pirod of time.

Please pay closer attention next time.

Simba most video players can pause and havew a slow motion, try it you can see everything.
