Gmax will not work for player models, well you can model them but there wont be any way to compile them to .glm from a gmax file format, add on top of that the fact that gmax doesnt have any skin modifier to rig the mesh to the bones.

Another tutorial (not as great for low poly, but the head modeling is excellent):

Gmax will work for modeling but you wont be able to get the model in the game.

Softimage XSI or 3D studio max are the only ones that will export a JK2 model.

character tutorial for 3d max (gmax should be similar)
