Before: You started teh game with your class, you were able to change everything on him besides his face (that was permanant) SMART was amazing but it got to downdrowned as just a convinience, when you leveled up you obtained credits which let you purchase abilities and guns and attachments, no challenge mode, Single Player Multiplayer were options, their was no voice chat, their was three load outs, oerks allowed for better team play and character buffs, pips were sperate from health.

After: Now you start the gmae as teh soldier so everyoen has to run to a command post to change their class, now tats,scars, and hair (not to be confuzed with head apparel) are permanent, SMART is only to be used ot get over, under obstacles so you odnt have to worry about it and theirs not alot oyu can do with it, now thier is a challenge mode were you unlick everything which makes you start off with oen character who obtains everyhthing (so to speak) and putting his XP (from the XP bank) into another character, now its just "play story" and it lets you have options but anyone cna just drop in, voice chats are able to be tunred on and off, i believe only oen load out which ever one you go in with, now perks are not for being seen, pips are now with your health.

:flamethrower: away

So you can't change your hairstyle?

As far as I know hair is not permanent, only things that are permanent are voice, face, skin colour, tattoos and scars.

What do you mean there is not a lot you can do with SMART? It didn't get downgraded, you get over and under obstacles and wall hop and slide etc, but also SMART is the only way to access some parts of the map (only the light body type can do this). SMART was never meant to be used for anything else.

You can have multiple weapon load outs for every class.

"now its just "play story" and it lets you have options but anyone cna just drop in"
What on earth do you mean by this? From the very beginning Brink has been about the ability to drop in and out of a mission as you please. And the only difference with multiplayer, co-op and single player has always just been the AI.

"perks are not for being seen"
What do you mean by this? You can have three perks on your character at any time

There are different kinds of pips, the ones that are the extension of your health bar and the power pips, that determine when you can give buffs and use some perks etc.

they aid anyone can get anywhere on the map not just lights

There are areas where only the medium and light can get but the heavy can not, and there are areas where only the light can get. That's one of the advantages of medium and light body type.

False.
It has been said that every bodytype can reach all areas. However, lights will get there much faster than others can. Heavies will probably have to walk all around the place to get somewhere where a light just has to perform a wall-hop.

im not quite sure because i recall watching a recent interview and it said that anyone can get anywhere

Ah, thank you for correcting me.

Does that include ontop of things as well, wasnt it said that hv and med couldnt scale as high up as a light could or are they making it so you cant get ontop of things?

Uhm, almost all points you mentioned are already the same since september/october.

Perhaps a light can get on top of a table which stands on a balcony, while a heavy can only reach the balcony, but not the top of the table. Who knows. But the top of a table is really not an important area.

Really? Huh. I always imagined I'd climb to some peak with a light rifle and pop some heads without the heavies reaching me. On the other hand though, the fact that all bodytypes can reach all places will make long-term camping a lot harder.

Depends on how you think about it.

Paul said in a very recent interview that lights can jump up higher to reach higher places.

Well, a well placed turret could solve your issue.

There are going to be shortcuts that only lights can go through, there will be shortcuts that only medium and lights can go through. Every character can get to every key point on each map, there are a few up high spots that only lights can get to, but as far as being able to complete the objective your weight doesn't effect you. There aren't missions specific to weight classes afterall...

Yep say there was a wall (maybe 2 or 3 containers stacked up on eachother)
And then there was a stairs up along the wall (ie. Like the fire escapes on a hotel building thing)
The Light could just run up the wall next to the stairs and be up and over
The Medium maybe has to walk up a couple flights of steps then be able to climb the wall the rest of the way
Heavy would have to walk up the steps

Heavies (and Mediums too sometimes) will just have to take the scenic route to get to places that Lights can get to easily. No problems there. Feel less safe atop your perches, Light dudes? :shifty:

Nope, I'm gonna be moving a lot. :biggrin: No need to stick to one spot/area that's high up, because I see no benefit to that.

Unless it looks directly at an objective and your light rifle has a nice scope on it.........

Yes, very true. There's still always a chance a Heavy could take his time to get where you're at blast you away. Well suggesting that he's being sneaky enough. :tongue:

I put money on the fact that he'll spray and pray with a minin gun from far away.............

Yeah, there are not a lot of smart gamers these days. :shakehead:

i try 2 sneak up before i just snipe or soldier carpet bomb and spray but i usually bump into another ninja sneaking up on us and we kinda stand there a little while wondering if we should shoot each other and blow our cover or just forget we saw each other...usually shoots me <_<

I'm usually the ninja that kills the ninja trying to sneak on my team then I sneak against his.......

GASP* YOUR THE ONE WHO SHOT ME YOU DIRTY DIRTY :cheat: :laugh:
