Which MAX?

[Tobias]

why not give the pool 9 options, so you could pick which max out of all 9 you liked best, cause, like, what if your really really like the AA Vanu max, it goes under the other, and you feel left out.

[SpacemanSpiff]

That's a grand idea.

glad to see this is a popular poll, anyway, just was checking, rying to find my personal favorite MAX, want o go pure AI, but not sure if i should go NC or TR lol

[MiniOrca]

or VS, sorry bout that lol, they all seem so good lol, basically my concept is this




TR(fills the air with more lead then you have atomes):thx zatrais: lol
NC(boot up a nice shield and shoot high powered bullets every shot, slow shot tho
VS(jump around like a crazy person and shot lazer beams at the target)

I say none, I am going max hunting with my phenix

If I wanted to be in armor, I would grab a Vangaurd

The thing I wonder, is how many AV/AA MAXs will be around at all. Most of the action in the game will likely be around bases, where the usefulness of vehicles and aircraft is limited, and thus so are the weapons designed to kill them.

Between Galaxys only being able to hold 2, and not being able to respawn at an AMS with MAX armor, I see MAXs as being primarily defensive in nature. However, that could lead to lots of AV MAXs on offense to pop the AI MAXs on defense so a base can be taken...I guess what I'm really saying is that it's hard to say what will happen without actually playing the game.

I'll go off and sit in the corner now.

I personaly think that the best AV max will be the NCs. I mean think about it a huge supply of guided missles compaired to trying to arc nades that probly have a very low range. Tr probly have the best AA max tho with those flak cannons (altho the NC may take that one also) no idea on the Vanu max. I would prefer a huge amount of SAMs to Flak or a sphere of energy tho.

No MAX is without defenses vs. Infantry, be it AV or AA. You can use the locking weapons deadhead and although not ment to fight infantry, can none the less.

That said, all of the AV MAXs have their appeal. IMHO (& unbiased) the TR AV MAX is prolly the most threatening if he sees you first. The ground pounder weapon could be very devistating. Not just to enemy units but team aswell. TR AV MAX has alota potential for being TK machine.

The NC AV MAX??? ...lots of bread ...lots of butter here. Everybody's used a missle launcher before right?

The VS AV MAXs "aggravated" damage, plus its mobility should be able to stay clear of NC and take appart a deployed TR MAX by just stickin' and movin'.

Either way i think the AV MAXs > AI MAXs & offer more versitility.

[Zylos]

my votes for the TR max, though im gonna be NC, TR has the coolest looking max, and the anchor + chains guns are awsome!

[Crimson Haven]

TR AI MAX all the way man. I mean look at the color combo, the sexiness, the sleekness.

And the VS MAX? I thought it would be sexy and sleek but its movement looks so not sexy.


So...do you concur?

[Madcat]

VS all the way

[RCB_Ghost]

Here's my way of thinking.
Can't a AV/AA MAX shoot up infantry as well?
True, it'll will probley only take out the infantry's armour before it touches their health. But those rounds are ment for taking out like 500 (or whatever level armour) a tank has. It'll rip through infantries armour in a matter of seconds.

Soldier: HA HA! Foolish MAX! You're an AV MAX, your weapons can't touch my health till you deplete my armour. By which time I will surely destroy you.
*MAX fires a 5 sec burst at the soldier. His armour is now 0*
Solider: :O:.

You forgot the most imporant option:

5. Max schmax, MAX is for pussies! Go Infiltrator for some REAL mans action

[Zatrais]

Mikkyt

If you think running around in blue spandex, lurking in the shadows and stabbing men in the back is a real mans game.....
