Yessssssssssss.

Also fun fact all the icons you see are Brink abilities.

Well, the light body type is unlocked at 7.

I noticed that as well.

Now if only people would post in the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1162721-ability-speculations-my-guesses/

This is post 56 already. This is a thread in it's own right.

True but most of those are from a couple of months ago. Unlike certain other recent threads it has merit.

Touche. Now that we have the achievement list, how long until we have the ability list?

Which is the good thing, but I'm still going to be watching my own ass.



Sure, but that's not what I'm worried about. It's the guy who knows he needs two guys down in front of the objective so that he can save the objective class that I'm worried about. You know, the guy who either shoots you in the back or lets you get shot in the back to create the situation he needs to earn his trophy.

the ability list will be out like 8 months after the games comes out cause we will all be to busy playing to write it sorry Gamefaqs lol

maybe someone screwed up when saying or somethin and its actully "level" 5 and 7 not rank

or maybe its actully rank 2 u unlock small and rank 5 u unlock heavy

Maybe but as this rate I refuse to get my hopes up.

Rank 2 would be level 5? and level 5 would be 20? Right?

So are they making us go through an entire playthrough before getting a heavy?

yes it is

A little off topic but related to one of the achievements. Anyway, the first game I noticed had a cortex bomb was in that fantastic Source mod, Dystopia. Did the Cortex Bomb concept originate from somewhere else and is the Cortex Bomb going to work in the same way in this game, where it only goes off in low health (it doesn't go off if you're down or dead)? I'm lost in the Brink Bible.

Have not played that source mod, however I believe only when you are downed.

Oh, I figured out where it's from! Shadowrun, not that unrelated, in name only, Xbox 360 game which didn't even have cyberspace, but the Roleplaying Table-Top game and the old school RPGs based on it. Dystopia has a lot of elements from cyberpunk literature, and Shadowrun is a major. major influence. The game has more things in common with Shadowrun than the xbox Shadowrun has in common with the Shadowrun series.

In Dystopia, however, the cortex bomb was a choice, much like in this game; the player is basically overheating their cybernetic implants. Shadowrun, however, had the bomb unwillingly planted in people's head so the planter could force this person to do their biding or suffer the "ultimate headache". I'm unaware if it could be used for suicide bomber purposes.

I assume this game, you choose to explode it when downed.

Just to clear up any and all confusion on the subject, you unlock the Heavy bodytype at level 5 (which is rank 2) and the Light bodytype at level 7 (which is also rank 2).

Thank you for your time. :disguise:

Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT achievement list. There's no grinding necessary, the achievements all encourage you to explore gameplay options (particularly teamwork-based objectives), and they seem like they're all attainable "accidentally," i.e. no going out of your way and adjusting your playstyle to get 100 shotgun kills or win 5 games in a row (which causes people who are losing to quit to the dash to avoid having a loss on their record).

GREAT JOB! :foodndrink:

Yeah I did miss that word...huh...what an irregular mistake to make.
No idea what that thing is.

NEW QUESTION!!!! What is a "what if" mission?

They've said that there are four of them, but I'm not sure if that means that there are actually four missions or if there are only two and they count them twice since you can play from both sides. Anyway, the "what-if" missions are missions that are not canon, not part of the actual storyline. The mission they showed off a while back where the Resistance are trying to destroy the fusion/fission reactor is one of the what-if missions, for example.

thxs for clearing that up for us :celebration:

I wasn't all too serious there. The goals were known for quite a while, after all.


Or any-other-shooter-with-audio-logs-ish.


Because lazy devs are lazy. :spotted owl:

I loved that mod. Can't play it for beans, but I still love it.

I hear it only goes off if you're incapped.
