its more that not enough of the heavy assault are using AV weapons against them, MAX unbits eat bullets and spit bigger ones back, AV shreads em.

Re: E3 2012 PlanetSide 2 Coverage


The guy who dropped in between two large structures and got wasted by the dual-pounder made me wonder -- is splash damage volumetric? That is, is splash damage amplified by being splashed into a confined space?

As for MAXes, they also did comment that it appears that by now the accounts may be running out of resources to spawn vehicles.

A guy got hit by a Fission while in a MAX, it did 25% damage, that seems far to little from what I've seen.

At the moment the MAX units turn on a dime, have a huge amount of health and move pretty damn fast. The main disadvantage of the MAX in Planetside was the fact they turned slowly, meaning you HAD to have infantry support to cover your flanks. Now that they can turn 180 degrees in no time at all they don't have to worry about getting flanked.

Alot of it looks situational, there looked to be a good amount of instances max's were free kills in a box from either getting hit from above, getting tagged largely in the head, or from a good distance where they seem to have a difficult time kill ing their smaller counter parts.

There was a moment a bit ago where an NC guy took on a Quasar MAX outdoors at a decent range, the thing had about 4 guys on it, it was caught in the open and attacked from multiple flanks and it massacred all of them, MAX's aren't meant to be insanely damaging they are meant to take punishment at least in terms of infantry combat.

That liberator was sexy.

I hope they're just letting people in MAX'es use vehicles for the E3 demo. A vanguard got shredded by a mossie, so he hops out and is in a dual AA MAX and blows that mossie away. The gunner in the lib dropped out and was in a MAX suit also.

OMG Amerish and Esamir just confirmed? (I hadn't heard beforehand). <3 Amerish

Yeah I think its pretty much free spawning on everything to let people test everything out.

Kudos for the Killcam that doesn't reveal the killers location.

Here's to seeing more ppl use AV againsty MAX units tomorrow.
And that final polit did not crash but also did not manage to aim at a single target. The scythe that you saw outside the amp CC that turned, burned and escaped looked awesome though, insane acceleration.
