    There are very little addons for the max weapons. Can we get darklights?

    As someone who uses a Max and does not mind admitting it...

    Max's really do NOT need dark lights at all. Infiltrators faced against them at close range have only 2 options. Run and hide cause unless that max is damaged, or just plain bad at the game they have little chance of overcoming them in a quick CQC fight. Infiltrators should not have to deal with that.

    Max's with Darklight's. That's just Ghastly to think about.

    Darklights would be overdoing it. I do think MAXs need a regular ol' flashlight though. Maybe even a standard armor thing instead of a weapon attachment.

    Sure.
    Replaces 1 weapon.

    What is that stalker gonna do to you? The only semi-effective options they have to combat you is standard grenades (which most infils don't run) and explosive tipped crossbows. You should feel bad being killed by either one.

    Finished off a dual hacksaw MAX today by charging into him and punching him. Damn that felt good!

    Maxes should be jacked up with cool things, heat vision, night vision, lights.

    It only makes sense, these are advanced battle suits, how could they not?

    Plus it's not like Maxes are a terrifying opponent anymore, at least not until rockets can't be spammed, and c4 can't be thrown.

    If Maxes get darklights, they would be giant armoured infil hunters. RIP stalkers

    Frankly I couldn't care less about the darklight effect but if I could just get some big *** flood lights on the shoulders that would be ballin'.

    Maxes had dark light in PS1. It didnt "doom stalker" cloakers.
    The dark light in PS2 is so limited I wouldnt see an issue with a Max giving up one weapon arm for a dark light arm or a "dual set" with dark light and a simple weapon or something sold as a set.

    The game isnt balanced towards 1v1. Some times you have to or should do a tactical retreat.
    In actuality. A dark light armed Max in PS2 would in some regards be easier to take on because he would at best have 50% fire power.

    Nope. MAX suits have big guns, and lots of armour, that's all they get. Hell... in PS1, they couldn't even open doors (though VS MAX suits could fly).

    ok fine the max can have the darklight and infils should get sticky nades :D

    Would prefer them to have optics

    it'd be cool if rather than a weapon attachment maxes just had lights in their shoulders that you could turn on with the usual vehicle headlights key :)

    You get the Darklights we get the Archer, sounds fair.
  18. p10k56

    Already had crossbows with explosive bolts.

    Also darklight is weak and too exposing.
    Me personally have big problem to not oversee infiltraitor in cone of light.
  19. Takara

    Nope...they don't....so no I hope they don't.

    Ok, fine, I would settle for just regular flashlights on the arms. I just really want to run around in a Max suit role playing as a Harasser.
