Brink Ability Preview : Othor Games

» Tue May 17, 2011 9:20 am

Facebook. I'm looking through my facebook stuff. I see a post by the offical Brink group - Brink Ability Preview Day 1 : http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/216735_10150149447144843_94712919842_6757326_5881907_n.jpg.

It looks legit, and looks like they'll be showing previews up until release. Awesome.

That will be awsome, but shooting you own grenade... that gonna take some aiming

Yeah, not too excited about that one.

I suppose it'll make sense if it lands near your enemy and you shoot it while its on the ground, but if you can do that, why not just cook the grenade?

I think in one of the first walktrough videos the player throws a grenade, aims at it and at the moment he shoots the grenade explodes.

I think i remember seeing it in one of te old container city videos he just threw it didnt move the crosshair left or right only down, then shot it.
I am going to try and find it.

Throwing and shooting is a lot faster than cooking. No fuse delay necessary.

And what about those guys who are behind a hard-to-grenade barricade - just shoot it as it's flying overhead!

They could do it like they did in Lost Planet 2 and have the grenades do more damage if you shoot them than if they just go off on their own. Plus, with that ability I assume you can shoot enemy grenades out of the air as well. Could be useful.

Crap! He doesnt shoot it, my bad it just hits him on the head. It is at 2:30

» Tue May 17, 2011 12:26 pm

Haha wtf, seems pretty pointless. Not like it's going to be easy, especially considering how close-quarters the maps are and how fast it seems the 'nades are thrown.

I also think some guns would not be suitable for it for instace, a shotgun wouldnt be able t reach it, unless you want to kill yourself.
Also if you had a gattling gun you wouldnt be able to draw it quick enough after throwing the grenade.

Feels like a wierd ability. Why can't I just shoot grenades as I see them?

Or does this somehow make it easier to shoot grenades?

Sigh good link by why is silent footsteps a level 4 ability? Not cool.

» Tue May 17, 2011 8:26 am

Things I see that I don't like:
1. Silent footsteps (the slippers) is bracket 4!!!!! So much for staying off the radar........
2. Extra pip (the backpack with the up arrows) is bracket 3!!!!

I hope they do 1 a day so they can show us all the abilities before the game comes out. :wink:

Running only puts you on radar if you are close to the enemy when doing it. You can still stay off the radar.

So I shouldn't parkour near the enemy or they will somehow see me on their radar? I want those slippers..........

I believe so, since the post was Day 1. I'll make a new thread when it comes up. This thread will remain for Grenade Shooting discussion.

A good soldier can effectively hear the shifting of gear and the stamping of feet, especially when the guy in question is just a few feet away.

the more you know...

i have to say that shot has to be like 1 in a million from that video link at 2:50

its like,, either it makes it easy for you to shoot your own nades, or that was a super lucky shot. i dont imagine that ability being very useful in the long run. If you could shoot enemy nades midair, that'd be a whole different story, i

I personally love the idea of shooting your own grenades. It would be something I would practice with, just to show off and people would be like "Oh [censored]!"
It would also look cool in "teh 1337 Fr4g Vide0s XD LOL PRONESS"

» Tue May 17, 2011 6:05 am

I think the ability would be nice, being able to make it explode basically whenever you want to, maybe even shooting enemy grenades with it would be really awesome too.

» Tue May 17, 2011 12:55 am

I think it could be useful if you don't feel like cooking it.
