MAX spectulation: Utility packages and aquisition timer?

Kriegson · 2012-07-13, 01:05 PM

Been reading through the wiki lately, and found a couple bits of note. One of them was quick exits for vehicles, mentioned elsewhere. Another though, are the utility packages for MAX's, and the lack of an acquisition timer cert.

Assuming MAX's have a resource cost, and acquisition time (like vehicles) do you think it's reasonable they should also have a cert to reduce their spawn time?

And what do you make of utility packages? If the wiki is accurate, it has the largest amount of "levels" in the entire cert tree for max's!
Maybe each gives you a point towards utility equipment you can use? Ie shields would cost 4 points, so you would need at least 4 levels in utility packages.
But with 8 levels, you could equip shields, a sprint enhancer and the lockdown ability! (4pts, 2, 2 In theory).

Thoughts?

Well, if there's a way to reduce the acquisition timer then it'll be an implant like the Vehicle Specialist implants.

Could be an interesting combination, adding some vehicle elements and class elements....perhaps the MAX might end up having the best customization elements of both worlds? (Class and vehicle)

Do we know if implants are in yet?

I hope a timer of at least 5 minutes starts when you die in a max suit.

I also hope they remove the auto-run feature or at least make the auto-run an upgrade.

In one of the E3 footage videos, it was stated that "auto-run was the only avaiable max special in the current build" which would suggest that taking it would be a trade off instead of shields/lock-down/jump jets etc..
