No, they didn't have unlimited ammo. One TR max ran out and had to rely on ammo drop from a light assault.

OMG Amerish and Esamir just confirmed? (I hadn't heard beforehand). <3 Amerish

They did say that MAX's in vehicles = E3 demo only thing. Apparently they didn't want to put restrictions on what people can do when they try it for the first time.

That was just amazing. I hope that it will be posted as a youtube vid so I can watch it again, and again, and again, and again............

There was a max that ran out of ammo, maybe even a secind one after that.

Loved it. Now that's Action.

I laughed at the max that got stuck when he bailed.

GuyFawkes · 2012-06-05, 08:24 PM

I tried but couldnt see any doors anywhere that would inhibit the free movement of maxes . Or are they disabled for the sake of the E3 demo?

NapalmEnima · 2012-06-05, 08:25 PM

The MAXes were pretty much stomping all over the squishier infantry. But I don't think an AV ever hit a MAX on camera.

At least not while I was watching.

I want to play as either a Cactus or a Rock,they seemed to cause the most trouble against the Quads

Graywolves · 2012-06-05, 08:31 PM

MAX's became very popular towards the end but I also so very little Heavy Assualts and a decent amount of Light Assaults kiting MAX's around and other infantry taking them down with small arms fire.

The Dual-Heavy Cycler was a beast though. Made me drool.

I imagine lots of balancing will happen during beta when we have the real numbers and players who have longer than 10 minutes of experience.

That stream was out of this world. I can't wait until this game launches.

Was it just me or did they turn off the MAX-Timer?

Didn't notice it anywhere during the footage.

I'm not sure whether they have decided on putting in a MAX timer or not; though I hope they do. MAXs should be situationally quite powerful, but should also be relatively "expensive" as far as timers, and possibly even resources go.

Hope you guys are digging the content so far! Been a long first day...

I can kill MAXs all day long as a Light Assault, you just have to know how to fight them - that's a good thing.

Nerdgasms left and right, I assure you Higby. So glad you got TB to partner up on this, I think a lot of us here used to hang out with him in PS Radio back in the day. Ace move.

Can't wait for tomorrows stream, thanks all you guys and gals for the hard work you're doing for us.
