Its absolutely absurd for a weapon that takes 6 seconds to unload and that takes 3 ammo boxs of inventory space to kill a fresh MAX. Its just overpowered and stupid. MAXs should be feared and a bit hard to deal with because they are extremely limited in the way they can play the game while in a MAX suit (no driving, no gunning, no hacking, no repairing, no healing, hell no riding in anything but a Gal/Sund) not to mention the 5 minute timer and no access from an AMS.

I wish there were MAX terminals instead of just getting your MAX suits at equipment terminals. I kinda like the idea that the spawn matrix is encasing your flesh inside the MAX, rather than jumping in and zipping up.

Why is that absurd? Any AV or AI MAX has the ability to kill you before you can get a 3rd shot off, which means you have to lead and land 2 direct hits with a dumb-fire weapon or you will get owned. And that's if you have the decimator out when you run into them, if they see you first or simultaneously they will usually have you dead before you can fire twice.

The splash radius on the Decimator is rather large, and camera-guided mode is how I fire 90% of my shots with it. I've taken out aircraft pretty well with it.

As do I, but requiring 3 direct hits would throw that balance off. If you can land 2 direct hits, you should get the kill and have another rocket left for the next MAX. If you get a near-miss with one of those 2 shots, then you have to use the whole decimator. I don't know, but the decimator is still the least ammo-efficient weapon in the game, and in light of these recent ammo changes nerfing the decimator in any way would be a complete departure. If anything, it deserves a buff but I am fine with leaving it as is. I am already going to have to sacrifice the thumper and rocklet to keep my baby.

I know I'm a noob to this place but I agree with warborn. I played as a TR MAX for a couple of months (and made next to no progress) and I found it completley annoying to be owned then wait another five minutes to be....owned again. So at least lower the time. If you're bitching about killing the same person 2 minutes later the odds are even after 5 minutes they still have a grudge and are going to go after you anyways. (I would)

Increase MAX armor so that a deci kills with 2 direct hits, and one deci that comes very close and does splash. Not sure how much armor that would have to be....800 maybe? MAXs are meant to be feared, and as it stands with the Deci to AV and the AV buffs, MAXs will be indirectly nerfed, as infils were.

Additionally, MAXs in my opinion should be the heavy assault troopers, instead of this stupid quake crap we have now with Surgiles and Heavy assault. It was a mistake from the beginning to buff HA the way they did when the Jackhammer just needed to be brought back down into reasonable range. The Sweeper and rocklet was all the instagib we needed. MAXs should be the shock trooper. 4 Decimator shots would be fine but the current 3 shots is just lame |

I dunno, I do pretty well with my dual-cycler, but like I said, I don't go outside at all. Use them strictly in tower/base fights where I know I can't make it out the door. Sure, infantry will pop decimators at you, but hiding around corners, in alcoves, staying with a friendly engineer and a nice dash of patience have bagged me a whole lot of kills with the thing. As a VS uni-max, I fear nothing except the sprint + jump from tower to base.

Sorry, I�m a bit late into this conversation. I think the MAX timers should stay as they are. There needs to be a limit on the MAX suits or you will just perpetually be fighting the same MAX over and over during a tower or base siege.
As for the Decimator�s effectiveness against a MAX, I think that should stay as it is. For a long time I thought of nerfing the Decimator�s anti-MAX power, but I decided It�s best as it currently is. The true power of a MAX is when they are integrated with infantry. If your infantry has basic engineering and MA or HA they pair up with crushing effectiveness. Enemy infantry rounding the corner with AV/Deci in hand get bum rushed my HA infantry. When the enemy rounds the corner with MA or HA the support troops fall back and the MAX steps forward for some spankage. That combo in a tower or lower base levels can be dominating. The way to beat this is to just wear them down and eventually take the MAX units out. If the MAX units were instantly replaceable then this tough nut to crack would become nearly uncrackable without a massive zerg. My point here is that the MAX should not be a one man army. So leave it�s nemesis, the Deci, alone. And leave the timer alone.
