BASE RESISTANCE TO SMALL ARMS FIRE 90% FOR MAXES

BASE RESISTANCE TO SMALL ARMS FIRE 90% FOR MAXES..up to 100% with the fully certed whatever it is armor
maxes are wildly overpriced coffins that die to small arms fire very very easily
im just startiung a 2nd character as vanu and to specialise in maxes...but im starting to think its a waste of time... these things rally have been given so many counters its insane...low caliber bullets sjhould do absolutely nothing in my opinion...i rarely see a solo infantry that is scared of me and they seem to just take it as a silly game of hide and seek to kill me.
ive only had success waiting at a corner so i get the jump on infantry..otherwise its 2-3 ppl and their carbines that kill me in 1.5 seconds...450 certs??? really?
oh and WHAT THE HELL IS ZOE? HOW CRAP IS THAT ****!!

i can understand why you post this as a beginning max player
give it some time the max is a real killing machine if you know what what to doe
whenever i play whit a max it's easy mode for me, i only get killed really fast if there is a well organized squad hunting for me
or by a tank that i did not see

I PLAYED IN PS1 FOR A LONG TIME...I PLAYED IN PS2 BETAS...I HAVE BEEN PLAYING FPS'S FOR 20 YEARS...sorry bout caps...i generally think this game is a let down...i am bored already after 6 weeks of playing...lots of stuff has been badly designed...nothing FEELS cool...the art direction is super super g.a.y. as are the voices...i waited 2.5 years to play this game and i think its pants...BUT i will uninstall when my 1st ever membership mointh stops(20th) and hope that ps2 2.0 makes things alot better...
I hate the fact that u can redeploy everywhere..it feels like bf game
maxes are not that great...
I thinik generals and hewreoes beta is more interesting...and that has 5 million registered players...so ppl DO WANT this hardcore type of game...

Oh well...dont mean to rant but im really let down for what i thought was going to be the best multiplayer fps ever...i thinkj to be honest from what i have seen from beta till now .. is that the game is currently in a RELEASE state and ppl have been paying to develop an alpha game.
Need meta
need style
why is my sunderer console blue when im vanu?
why do ppl on my team have the other enemy colours on their camo?.. that ***** just confusing..

you don't dislike max's you are disappointed with the hole game
maybe it's time for you to find a other game and let this one go

It's probably explosives that are killing you most of the time actually, especially in fights with a lot of grenades flying around. The explosive may not actually secure the kill, but usually when I die in a MAX, an explosive did most of the damage at some point.

So just get some Flak armor, and make sure you stay near friendly engies. Once you get used to it MAXes will start feeling a lot more durable. Flak also lets you survive a C4 brick past rank... 3 I think? Sure they can still kill you with two, but that means they've got to get two bricks onto a MAX who is probably surrounded by friendly infantry. Being able to survive the first one is a huge benefit to your survivability.

Your built-in small arms resistance is more than enough to stomp around bullying infantry. There's actually not much reason to buy kinetic unless you specifically plan to counter an enemy's anti-infantry MAX, because another MAX is the only unit that will actually have both the HP and firepower to take you down with small arms (most vehicle weapons fall under Flak armor and don't count as "small arms"). That said, if you have a lot of spare certs sitting around or MAX is your main thing, being able to choose between Flak and Kinetic based on the situation is a handy luxury.

I'VE PLAYED PS2 FOR A LONG TIME. MAXes ARE TOO WEAK. PLEASE BUFF THEM, AS TWO DUAL GUNS THAT ARE ACTUALLY ARMS ARE NOT ENOUGH, PLUS BASE RESISTANCE AGAINST BURRETS (which is valued at 80%) IS TOO LITTLE. NOTHING SHOULD HARM IT. IF ANYTHING DOES...

Funny this thread comes out the same day that someone created a thread about removing maxes from the game because they are to powerful. Strange world we live in.

okay dude, first relax. then explain to me, your thread title and initial post dont have ANYTHING in common with this superrant of yours above. what do you actually want here? discuss Maxes or just hate on the game?

i doubt that they will redesign this game according to your needs. i dont care if you played PS1, that game is boring as hell and it would even attract less players than PS2 already. you cant compare it with Heroes and Generals either, that game is WWII and people love/rediscovered WWII after the glut of modern warfare shooters lately. that's why World of Tanks is so popular too. not to mention all those games run huge marketing campaigns to promote the titles, unlike PS2.

look, it will probably be better if you just uninstall, leave these forums and never turn back (no disrespect, yo). because how you imagine(d) PS2 to be will never happen. we are here because we love the game, enjoy it and want to participate in the further development. we look forward to the upcoming PS4 release and its additional players/revenue it will bring. DGC's president Smedly promised(!) that full meta will arrive and be implemented until september of this year (that thread is on reddit somewhere, go look for it). if you want you can return in a few months and see how the game goes. until then, go play your hardcore shooters and stop these pointless rants please.

I've played fps since wolfenstein and doom.

Does that mean my dick is bigger or at least on par with yours?. I've been playing the ps4 version of ps2, the game we beta tested for, so I think I've lost a few inches.

Max out kinetic armor, suddenly infantry isn't scary anymore.

I won't be sad to see this guy go.

and dont forget your pocket engy if you want to fight in the first line. If you are using the more long ranged weapons and keep some cover you will survive with the nano self repair system.
but to be honest, maxes are strong enough and its always a pain to run into a max that camps a doorway (coughdoublehacksawcough) or knowing that you cant outrun that max wich is charging into your direction. Im ok with maxes as AA and AV options but i would not miss any AI max in this game.
I would even like some armor piercing ammo for the infatry classes to allow them to hurt maxes a lot more and even lightnings and libs (especially those flying tanks)

This is the only good thing in this thread.

Just to be fair, you don't even need AP ammunition. You just need people to go to town on the MAX. Three people shooting any kind of 143/125 semi-automatic simultaneously can reliably down one MAX before having to reload. Kinetic Armor increases the number of 30 magazine weapons necessary, but not by a huge amount.

The chance of headshots makes that requirement less arduous.
If you still say that's absurd, I should remind that every HA has a rocket launcher that does more than the first (1) amount of damage in one shot when it lands, and there will probably be multiple HAs. No way of knowing how many non-Infiltrator classes have C4 on them either.
And, upcoming, AT Mines just strewn over the floor will now be a proximity issue.

Edit: I just had a thought that I should include rate of fire somehow. No work shown and simplicities abound.
500 RPM requires 3.60s to empty a 30-magazine
600 RPM requires 3.00s to empty a 30-magazine
700 RPM requires 2.57s to empty a 30-magazine
800 RPM requires 2.25s to empty a 30-magazine

Sounds like operator error.

Couldn't you play a different class instead, or are you that terrible?

I'd rather this be on harassers.

Maxes like most things are not friendly to new players and the fact that basically all max loadouts use matching weapons and you dont start with any can make it hard to understand their place. the price isnt so you would choose it over a vehicle for its power or its surviveability but because of its near vehicle firepower it can bring into buildings its a small vehicle and yes tho easier to take down than actual vehicles you can also be rezzed. Also its versatility a max is good at anti vehicle anti infantry and anti air just have to change your weapons.

Small arms fire works on maxes for a reason and this is because of their roll in buildings something has to kill them and the feeling that you have no chance say an infiltrator comes across a max with 100% damage reduction from small arms fire what do they do? they cant have C4 like other classes they just die. Sure Maxes dont live long sometimes but in the short time they live when they burst into a room they do what they are supposed to do THEY BREAK UP THE STALEMATE. 1-2 maxes charging into a room wont last long but they will have everyone firing upon them this creates an oppritunity for your team to get in and get in some positions and push a point heavys just dont have the firepower or health to do this.

In general i think maxes are in a fine place if not a little over tuned in some areas (im looking at you scatmax in a 1-12 biolab fight) sure they can die quick but this usually only happens to careless people or in super large battles where you cant expect to live very long on anything tho the anitmaterial rifle and landmine thing coming soon might make them alot less usefull we will see.

PS ZOE sucks but all the faction abilitys suck a shield that protects you from one direction and you cant use weapons while doing this, a buff that sticks you down so you cant side strafe and jsut get shelled C4d or Anti material sniped by engineers here soon for an increase in velocity and reload speed so that the fractures can almost be as good as vortex and still not close to ravens or an ability that makes you die faster so you can kill slightly faster they all suck so whatever its pretty close to balanced.

People will cry about literally anything they don't like. Strange and sad world we live in :\.

Some max advice i learned from singed in league of legends *don't chase* just hold the objective they will have to come to you eventually if they want to play hide and seek just walk away

I too think maxes are too weak. Flack armor should allow a max to have more health after being hit with a rocket launcher. It's too easy for a single HA to take one out.
