Talk:Max

From Wiki 24

[edit] Info source

The information in the intro paragraph for Max sounds like interesting stuff. I'm assuming it comes from The Game. What else did The Game say about Max? In what context was that material revealed? I'd like to discover more on my own, but we're an XBox household. – Blue Rook 22:01, 6 January 2008 (UTC)_talkcontribs

Haha, get a PS2! (I haven't played The Game in a while, so I can't remember the details.) --Proudhug 21:01, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Status discussion

I made an edit that Max could be dead or alive since the cutscene in the game shows Jack hitting Max two times in the chest since the guy was wearing a kevlar vest. We weren't exactly given the straight answer that Max is 100% dead.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.85.234.166, 03:12, 26 May 2006

He was shot in the chest while wearing a bulletproof vest? And that's it? He didn't plummet into a volcano or get torn apart by cougars or anything? Sounds to me like he's most likely alive, then. --StBacchus 08:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

He was wearing a bulletproof vest? I don't remember that. --Proudhug 08:44, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I distinctly remember Max being killed in the end. You have to shoot him in the head at the end, and he was shot once more. It seems like this was the coup de grace for Max. The only people that are denying it are the people that want Max to be a part of a huge secret conspiracy with Graham and the bluetooth gang. I don't think he was wearing a bulletproof vest, you have to shoot him in the head because he takes Kate Warner hostage. He never gets arrested nor stands up after you shoot him. Jack is immedietally rushed out for medical attention, while Max, who would be in far worse shape, was left on his boat. - Xtreme680 16:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Xtreme, try watching that final cutscene in the end and look *VERY* closely on Max's chest. Yes, I have beaten the game and know about the head shot, but the cutscenes normally say otherwise for story-related purposes. For example, Robert Daniels was automatically shown as wounded in a cutscene despite the fact he wore a kevlar vest in the player-controlled firefight. In this case, the very final cutscene showed that Max was wearing a vest.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dibol, 05:13, 27 May 2006

Daniels also moved after you shot him. Why go to the trouble of having Jack shoot him again if they wanted him to live? I do recognize now that Max was wearing a vest, but I think it's unlikely that he lives considering they didn't have to show Jack shooting him at the end, at close range and considering Jack had almost no choice but to shoot to kill. He slumps to the ground at that point, and is never arrested, and while Jack is rushed for medical attention, Max lies there on the ground. - Xtreme680 14:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Even if the gunshots didn't kill him, they severly injured him, he would've needed medical attention right away, and no one gave it to him, they left him lying there. Besides CTU Agents would've swarmed the boat and search for evidence, if one of them noticed Max, they would've checked his pulse.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.215.96.187, 14:40, 31 Dec 2007
