Travel Mode?

Are their any specific limitations regarding armor?
You must be certified with a suit in order to use it. The MAX suits come with an integrated weapon, and no other weapon may be equipped. The MAX may not fire while it is in Travel Mode.\\

whats travel mode? sprinting?

yes

TimberWolf2K · 2003-03-05, 04:31 PM

Like auto run, you turn it on and the max takes over the running insted of your legs.
I think dave said they can go pretty fast if they get out in the open.

edit: camping Carl = Crowbar Carl?

Ah, thought so. Be a good time to get a few sniper hits in it.

camping Carl = Crowbar Carl?

Nope. Although I do enjoy playing as a scout in tfc, just so can I wander around hitting my teammates with the crowbar.

I've heard that the MAX has a few limitations when in Travel Mode...

They have a huge turn radius, making them less maneuverable.
The cannot fire in this mode.

There might have even been a few more. Can't remember the threads I read this in, so back me up if you know for sure...

Why waste perfectly good sniper ammo on a MAX? Tho if i get hit by a sniper round while in travelmode i'll stop and try to hunt down the sniper hehe

Destroyeron · 2003-03-06, 08:44 AM

It wouldn't kill him, but it'd do damage.

Travel Mode allows max's to keep up with vehicles, so they can take part in vehicle assaults.

Well, isn't the Bolt Driver supposed to be pretty ineffective against tanks, meaning it shouldn't do too good against MAX's either. I was thinking about 7-8 hits. Maybe its just wishfill anti-sniper thinking.

Camping Carl · 2003-03-06, 09:09 AM

The bolt driver won't be something you'd want to try on a max suit. You'd be better off using a rocket launcher.

matt · 2003-03-06, 09:13 AM

Would be pretty funny to see a group of about 10 snipers jump out in front of a MAX and all shoot him.

Destroyeron · 2003-03-06, 09:18 AM

Well if you don't have a rocket launcher then you'd wanna do as much damage as possible.

Problem solved with Lancer sniping (I'm a little obsessed, sorry)! But only for Vanu.
