MAXs to be able to drive vehicles

[Durandal]

Based off of this video


released today the Devs are going to allow MAXs to pilot vehicles aside from aircraft...This worries me around 2:40

"The tradeoff is they are a little less versitle, you cannot pilot aircraft"

hmmm mechs jumping out of tanks is going to be really irritating...

[lolroflroflcake]

I also remember them saying at E3 they wouldn't be able to drive anything at all only get rides, atleast I hope they did.

im sure theres a comment around with higby saying something about killing a tank and having a max poping out, and that would be silly so they're not going to have that. but i CBFed finding.

TLDR: tanks popping out of tanks: no.

I think you may be going a little too literal minded on this. Especially when the commentators on the E3 streams went out of their way to constantly insist MAXs wouldn't even be allowed INSIDE most vehicles at all, let alone have them piloting them. The video here is from E3, so it's not overriding anything they said there.

I think they were a little too careless with their wording, not that they're actually letting MAXs drive tanks.

it has been said that max units wont be able to drive anything. but this is only what i have heard. it may all change but i think it will be too op if a max can drive a tank ect. and they would never fit in the drivers seat lol

Matt also stated in the dev commentary with Totalbiscuit that MAXs wont be allowed to pilot vehicles. So I think it's a bit to literal of an interpretation

This is the same narrator that says "two squads" in a Galaxy. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

I dont think so. Just because he says they cant pilot aircrafts doesnt mean they can drive vehicles.

I noticed that in the E3 videos there happened to be MAXs piloting aircrafts and it was mentioned that they would not be able to do that in the final game. It was only possible because of the current build.So maybe thats the reason why he mentioned that specifically...it is already assumed that MAXs cant drive tanks. they just wouldnt fit

If I say "I don't like chocolate", that doesn't mean that I enjoy every other food except chocolate.

In the same way, them saying that MAX units can't pilot aircraft doesn't mean that they can drive vehicles. I can guarantee they won't be able to.

[Durandal]

Well, i hope not. I also listened to all of the E3 coverage and heard them all talking about how they diddnt expect MAXs to be able to pilot anything. But that was weeks ago, and this video gets released today revealing new info about the engineer, whos to say that the info relating to the MAX isnt also new and accurate?

Maybe it is possible for them to drive certain vehicles? I wouldn't be surprised if there was a sidegrade or two that allowed a MAX on a flash.

Pretty sure Maggie said that they wouldn't be able to drive anything during the E3 commentary. I've watched it all a few times through now, so I'm fairly certain.

So if they hit a ramp while driving one, would you call it a Jumpin' MAX Flash?

[Durandal]

Yeah, I mean im pretty well versed in the videos, ive seen everything total biscuit has released, and watched all of the E3 streams. It just seems like this couldnt have slipped through the cracks unnoticed...i donno

Well in pretty much every video they say everything you see is subject to change. We have no choice but to go with what we hear in the latest release.
