best max armor - Page 3

ide say that

NC = Shock Troopers (im not dead yet...)
TR = Artillery Troopers (assimilate this!)
Vanu = Mobility/Surprise Troopers (Stand Still so i can kill you!)

so the NC are great for front line, and soak up dmg very well, TR are able to dish out dmg at range better than just about anything else, but are not that good close range (compared to other stuff like the NC one), and the vanu one can run circles around you (for a max) Jump over walls, etc...

i personnally like the VS Max Armor w/ the jump hehe

sigh, if only you could get enemy maxes by hacking enemy equipment terminals. That would be scary, VS maxes in NC or TR colors, but it would defeat the special ability's purpose.

Just a note - the tr max takes hardly any time to lock down, not 1-2 seconds, which is a long time (when you're in the heat of battle it is!).

This was shown on some gamespot videos.

I like the idea of the vs MAX but do not like the fact it has such low armour

It has 6.5 times the armor of a reinforced (or 650 armor points).....

I wouldn't call it lightly armored, i'd call it the lightest armored MAX. Course we don't have anny numbers on the armor values of the other MAXs but i'm guessing the NC MAX is along the lines of 750 points and the TR is along the lines of 800 armor points. Guessing that cause well the TR seem to have the heaviest raw armor (atleast the prowler does).
