MAXs and Meele

[IMMentat]

You don't only bring a knife to a gun (and AV) fight.
Just watch Zzulu for a few minutes to see why.

If the Zulus were wearing max armor the british empire would have been in deep shit.

I would pay a hundred bucks to look similar to this ingame.

Yeah a 2+ armor save for Horus would definatly be a MAX.

Now I agree no MAX meele weapons. Again we don't want to make a HAL0 2 sword. However a simple meele smack for those that get too close is good enough.

And as for the aaddaaddaadddadadadadadad viable tactic, sure it works just like camping is a legitimate strategy, but that dosn't meen it still dosn't look retarded, and not just for maxs but for anything. The best thing to do in Planetside 1 (which I hate so much) was to surgile around someone with HA and after a few ring around the rosies the guy dies.

I mean when in real life is it a good idea to run around your enemy who has a gun at point blank? Never, you will either take a bullet that would kill you or get stuck in a scuffle. That is the problem with all gun and no mele gameplay. When someone gets in point blank it shouldn't be a ring around the rosie for a few minuets till someone dies. It should be quick direct and a brutal and bloody afair. I think adding some meele improvments might help. Keep it a FPS. If they are not within arms reach, don't try and stab them SHOOT them!.

Give the MAXes a rocket pack, but it doesn't let them gain any vertical height, it can only be used to propel them horizontally.

Then give them a giant drill which they can use as a melee weapon while launching themselves towards their enemies.

We'll call this particular MAX variant, the 'Large Father'.

Nah, forget it. BF3 probably already did it.

That's a Chaplain, not a Terminator.
