LOVE THE NC MAX. i had my doubts from the concept art but I was completely wrong. yet I'm still so happy? you go devs!

Thank you art team, the big red bowling ball of death helps make up for the cycler I didn't care for.

Shame the NC one looks good too.

As a side request, can we go ahead and nerf VS maxes and buff TR? Call it payback for PS1. No reason to go all the way into beta testing for this one

Love that the VS MAX will be the most maneuverable though that was hardly even in doubt. Did it say what the special abilities were? Loading the video as I type.

Just went through it, no dice. Little damped on my spirits but so SO glad we finally got the MAX reveal. So cool.

All over your face!

Oh wait... so the surprise at E3 is full scale MAX suit replicas, not beta dat reveal. Too bad

Still not 100% sold on the VS max. Guns, boots, and shoulderpads are all proportionally too big for the frame, imo. Either tone them down, or beef up the rest of the unit.

NC: Very nice.

TR: By far the best designed imo.

ArmedZealot · 2012-05-25, 12:08 AM

My only criticism is that the TR max weapons needs more barrels.

5X more for each gun will be the minimum. Any less and all bets are off of me playing TR.

yea the VS concept looks really cool, so did the gun...this just seems...off.

Holy shit these look awesome.

Although, they do seem to be ripping off Battlefield 3's MAX units... (sorry, couldn't help myself).

They are all looking very badass. Even more intimidating than in the first game. Can't wait to see more of them in action.

Do we know what kind of gun that 4 barrel thing is for the TR? I get the impression that those barrels are too large for it to be an AI machine gun. My guess is that it's some sort of heavier weapon. I doubt they've gotten rid of the version with a dozen barrels.

Hopefully the lockdown and unlocking is quicker on the TR MAXes as well, making it a more viable option with PS2's quicker TTKs.

Some of it seems a little off, but I like what they did with the feet more than in the concept.

I think a few tweaks will probably fix it up nicely, along the lines of what they did with the Galaxy.

NC is SO UBER DUBER COOL. sorry i had to let my nerdnes rome free for a second because this game is so BA!

Whalenator · 2012-05-25, 01:26 AM

TR had spikes in it's heel.
I'm going to safely assume they're bringing back the same MAX powers as before, especially with the Vanu's hugeass wings and Ray mentioning "maneuverability"
