i saw some MAX getting OWn by heavy and ligth assault so i think they are pretty easy to kill if they are not 3 or 4 in a corridor !
I just hope the headshot multiplier will work well especially with MAX so accurate people will take down MAX like flys with OFF spray ! |

Isn't that what the discussion is for though? We point out the stuff that seemed a little bit 'eurgh' and tag it for balance. The whole 'it's alpha so its fine' thing doesn't compute for me, if it's alpha then balance issues should be tagged for reference in the beta.

Same here ! i tough they where going to be more OP at least ive seen 1 vs 1 MAx vs Assault and the assault wins Good enough yet but the BEtA will tell us more specifics
Iam pretty sure some whiners will claim MAX is OP and others will claim MAX is underpower and they die to fast etc.. always contradiction lol |

MAX units are fine. As a MAX, I felt tough, I was able to take on any infantry and other MAX units pretty well. As an infantry going up against a MAX, I understood that grenades and headshots are my only chance of survival, and they work quite well.

As of now that they have no turn speed decrease and can do a 360 in a blink of an eye like a trooper they will be unstoppable killers in the right hands. But I am sure they will fix everything in BETA. |

Due to the faster pace of PS2, I think the "random passer-by" type of repairs from an engineer (especially as repairs are limited from a single player class now) if you are not in an organised squad / outfit will be very much reduced which would be unfair against the shield regen of all other classes. One of the most annoying elements of being a MAX user in PS1 was the fear of getting your armour slowly eaten away over time and being at the mercy of those with a BANK around you to be able to fix you up - being effective whilst playing solo as a MAX was pretty difficult if you were away from your base without medical terminals available. This would often lead to either reckless charges (where you didn't care about getting patched up) or cowardly tactics / hiding behind a corner to not get your armour damaged / become useless and have to spam V-N-R to get repairs (which generally wasn't fun for all involved). Even at the expense of some durability, the ability to have a slow regen over time make operating a MAX a lot less frustrating overall. The classic tradeoffs of now being able to capture anything, 5-minute timer or drive vehicles etc... coupled with new threats (e.g. sniper head shots), lower TTKs etc.. should ensure everything is kept balanced. |

Not really worried. Gotta remember a few things.
1) Capability for the dual loadout. I didnt see the stream, but a single scatter cannon seemed to kill lights pretty quick. Let alone two of them... That said, it seemed like you can't fire both weapons at the same time? 2) Everybody has MAX available from the second they log in in comparison to requiring a cert in PS1 3) Alpha 4) I still didnt see the stream, but in the footage I did see, MAX seemed even fairly durable everything considered. I'm sad though that NC got once again pigeonholed into shotguns. So many games just implement them so badly and tbh Planetside 2 didn't seem much better in this case. Lets hope we at least get a viable HA in addition to yet another shotgun (Jackhammer, I suppose)

They keep saying they are "considering" not letting MAX suits use vehicles. I'm hoping that means "beyond beta" because it would be horrible to blow up a tank and just before it dies an AV max gets out and rails your tank.
