I know there was already a thread about mostly the turning rate of the MAX's which I'm completly fine with how it was at E3 for it to keep up with fast strafing infantry. But I'm concerned a bit on the movement speed of the MAX. Looking at the E3 TB's Day 3 video showcasing a single Terran MAX, it just seems to move around way to quick. It switches between run and walk mode as fast as reloading a gun in Goldeneye. And its generally walking speed it fairly quick. It was running behind cover and around corners at the pace of a normal infantry.
I don't think the MAX should be able to switch between run and walk as fast as it can. In PS1 the MAX being a bulky Exo-suit unit you had to really think when you wanted to do something, it didn't have the reflexes of an infantry. Taking the risk of running means no shooting for a short time and could cost you. Now I know PS2 pace is much different and needs to match but I think they need to have more delay between switching Run and Walk mode. That and a slight reduced speed of walking. The MAX should still remain a somewhat difficult to handle bulky exo-suit that requires you to think about some of your movements like you have to with vehicles. It's not an infantry that can just run all willy nilly.
But thats why we have a poll, let me know what you think.
