Due I was not much unguilty that this review section has been created, I think it`s time for me also to try writing a small review. And I think it`s a great idea to take the newest creation of one our main reviewers.
Due this is ment to be one Pack (MäxX splitted it due the big filesize - Why are your works always that big in filesize? -lol- ) I review all 4 packs into one single review.
It has been April 2005 as MäxX announced that there will be an update for his pack, and finally he made to finish it in November 2005. Let`s see if it is worthy for the long waiting time.
The Facts:
First of all I must admit that I always loved the TSE pack due it`s great Clanplay compatibility and cool color scheme. We used the pack in many, many LAN-sessions. The uniform look of all character`s give a great team feeling!
There are also some nice background stories (in 2 languages) with some nice additional info (favorite quote, classification) included.
Due MäxX is hard to satisfy with the character portraits made by others, I`ll take a closer look on his ones:
In Menu-screen some look really great (my fav here is Fury, that portrait is awesome!) and in game they can be recognized well, but could be a little bit bigger. Due there must be a compromise made between In-game and Menu-screens I consider the portraits as very well done.
I don`t understand why so few packs take advantages of the available voices. If the entry is made and no voicepack installed, the standart voice is used, so there is nothing to loose.
MäxX included the entries in his pack and I really appreciate that. As bonus he included his own bad*ss*d voice with some really great and funny taunts and all other stuff (also red,blue,green and gold leader) covered. So I`d download the Delta-pack just to get this real great voice! :tup:
But MäxX forgot to include a vital info for servers in his readme. Please read on below the score if you want to make this pack available on a server.
The Characters:
Viper:
A real sexy teamleader showin his "sixpack". This one is really nicely made using Othello`s UT(99) face
Natasha:
What would happen if Viper would be a female? Here the real sexy answer!
Havoc:
The "bad boy" of that team looks really angry, but the face is a little bit to blured IMO. I think he uses Johnson`s UT(99)-head.
Elektra:
Except the too dark areas at the forehead a nice character with funny bio.
Sentinel:
Mainly a mix out of Axon and Xan. Finally a Xan skin without those silly pipes, I never liked them! A Great idea AND he has UT(99) Xan`s sexy voice! Oh, I just love that voice!
Jet:
The contrast between black and colored body parts is just great!Basicly I don`t like the female Cybernetics, but this one is cool.
Stinger:
I think MäxX used Rankin`s head for that char. That`s the char which looks most similar to the "old" pack. I like him, but his armor colors and pose just give him a slightly gay touch
Shadowcat:
Blackjack`s face just fits perfectly on that body, making her a cute asian killer. I just hate her when she has a lightning gun....
Killjoy:
I always knew that Wraith would look sexy with sunglasses and without scars, and here is the proof. The DM-color is just great. Only con is the body armor, it looks strange to me.
Gold:
Mainly the original model (the hair) is crap, but MäxX managed to make a nice character out of it. The first MercFemA that comes without the stuff on chest! A real nice idea!
Titan:
OMG, MäxX has some frightening friends!The chest armor and the color scheme are really great and the bio is also quite funny.
Dileila:
I like the changing haircolor and the sexy armor pretty much. But to be honest, she would need a little bit of silicone to give her armor more sense Does anybody want to make an enhanced model like for Ophelia? 
Neos:
MäxX`s brother wears a real dark suit and gains in dark areas his advantages. Maybe he should also try some covert operations? The suit looks real great and the body armor reminds me of a knight.
Desertrain:
She looks pretty shy on the portrait and the "Miss Tournament" Title in the bio is a funny idea.She also prefers wearing a very dark armor in Deathmatch battles.
Cobra:
MäxX himself enters the tournament and does some *ss resizeing.I like the colorscheme pretty much, the face just looks very matrix-agent-like (sexy -hr-) and the voicepack is great!
Fury:
The new hairstyle makes this char looking much better than in v.1.00., the color-combo is really well done.
The Pros:
MäxX has included many gimmicks (installer, bonus pix, bios supporting more than one language)
The voicepack-entries and the included voicepack should be mentioned here again
4 Team color support
Also a nice feature is that he included a teamlogo for the team. A real nice idea to round things up!
The characters are pretty strong (the weakest is at Malcolm-niveau)! If you have them in your team they can help you a lot and a great help to win Single Player mode at higher levels.
The Cons:
The characters are pretty strong! Some are nearly unaffortable in SP and when you play against them you should lower overall skill-level of the bots. For instance you use to play at "skilled" and are pretty good there, then these bots will clean the floor with your face....
Mainly they are just combined and recolored skins.
The MercFemB`s suits are still a little bit to similar IMO
The Bottom Line:
For me it is not important whether a skin is a recolored or "recycled" one, it just has to look cool and not cheap.
I really love this pack! As usual MäxX included many specials and made the most out of it. This is the best "recycled" pack I`ve ever seen!
They are providing perfect conditions for clan playing, have all different suits and nice portraits.
Hopefully more authors will release their stuff in such a great way!
Keep it up MäxX
