    So, I have to say I am rather disappointed.

    Can my fellow TR an I get a real lockdown? Like in PS1?

    We want this...

    I'd be happier if they just utilized the spikes already on the model! This game needs more moving parts on stuff.

    I've never actually looked at a locked down MAX, but is that really how it looks? Because that's lame.

    Honestly, looks like ********...

    I really don't understand their leg positions, they always look ridiculous to me.

    Yep, we lean forward. From the Max's view however it looks like you're planting your feet down side by side like a Tau Crisis suit.

    I agree on the spikes totally. The first time I saw them on my suit I thought for sure they were in preparation for the skill and we would actually see them fire down.

    The current model looks like an oversized ballerina dancer.

    Also, in that first pick. Is that Tumas, Amerish?

    Pretty bad I remember almost all the facilities on every continent...

    Is that really how locked down TR MAX's look? That's disappointing. The anchor spikes are already there on their boots and everything. I don't know why SOE wouldn't utilize them. I had just assumed that a locked down TR MAX would look like they did in PS1. Truly, that's a shame. It would look so cool.

    I am assuming it is just a place holder as they wanted to get these abilities out and not make us wait any longer for them.... Looking at ZOE I could have waited longer.... But I guess it is good these problems are getting handled very quickly now.

    Hope this gets fixed in GU10, waiting a TR max lockdown in PS1 was a scarry thing with dual pounders... They destroyed everything..

    I always though it was more of a "Come at me Bro" Pose :p
  13. ZoeAlleyne

    I do not actually recall seeing a locked down max in game, maybe because there isn't a lock down animation.
  14. Seranov

    The only saving grace is that I can't see my feet when I'm locked down.

    I really, really dislike the goofy pirouette they have us doing.
  15. SturmovikDrakon

    I agree, and on top I HAVE TWO MORE SUGGESTIONS

    1) Have your arms extend forward in first person view, I don't understand why he has them at such a weird 90° angle

    2) Give the Chain-Guns a new sound when in lockdown, something similar to this



    to emphasise the increase in rate of fire. The stock sound is just ear-jarring when its increased in ROF

    Another example done by a forum member here, Carnivombre

    I will never put my MAX in lockdown aside from outdoor AA, as it's just a suicide ability if anything... And having to look like some silly ballerina chicken doesn't help it out either. Just really... what kind of audience were SOE aiming for with that pose? I've yet to meet a single TR that doesn't break down laughing when they first see it.

    Thumbs up and QFE owing to 40k references. More of these and we might get GW's lawyers all QQey again :D Love it when they get paid for doing nothing of value to society hahaha!
