Brink Weapon Customization Questions : Othor Games

» Tue Nov 17, 2009 7:24 am

lmao

I think a laser sight would make more sense.

is a Gatling even confirmed?

yup, you can see a heavy firing one off in a gameplay snippet in a dev diary, and if you look on the E3 demo when hes about to show off weapon customization he flashes by a gun called the "gotlung gun" so go figure

EDIT: heres a picture

so what other HWs are there cause all I heard about was the minigun and the nade launcher and I hope they will make more than two.

that would make heavies pretty boring eh? lol

Rocket launchers
LMG's

don't forget multiple variants of each type too....

also...

All have pistol
lights add smg + rifle
medium adds AR + shotgun
Heavy adds Machine Guns + launchers

I see a trend.

Is there really a Rocket Launcher? :mellow: I haven't seen anything about that. Now that I think about it after watching that part about weapon customizing I couldn't tell what were the LMG

» Tue Nov 17, 2009 9:26 am

I have no idea, just thinking of possibilities

I dunno if LMG's are in, I would just assume so since they are the natural upgrade of AR's

HMG's (Gattling included) could also be clumped with LMG's as a Machine Gun category....

I'm just making guesses here

» Tue Nov 17, 2009 1:02 pm

in the newest dev diary, you see an M249 so theres atleast one LMG lol and they are under the heavy category

score 1 for deductive reasoning :spotted owl:

i'd welcome attachments that you can't actually see. or you can see them, idc. that would shorten reload times or put more bullets in a mag, or make it fire faster, or would make it a tad more accurate. attachments that other guns have, only, possibly, internal instead of external

do you know how difficult it would be to use a scope on a minigun? You'd probally break your arm trying to lift the gun up high enough to use it.

It was a joke. I can't believe anyone took that seriously its as silly as putting a silencer on it.

Yes I know it was a joke I was just saying again how it would be really stupid.

» Tue Nov 17, 2009 8:07 am

why no silencer? sometimes when im killing everything it sight i still want to hear the epic, slow motion accompanying, hero-esque background music... lol

» Tue Nov 17, 2009 8:08 pm

what about a bipod or summit? would encourage campers but hey.

» Tue Nov 17, 2009 10:21 pm

a bipod would actually be really appropriate, letting you put down much more accurate and less spread of gunfire down.

You sacrifice mobility... ALL mobility, but you'd basically make urself a super turret.

Wouldn't count on it though lol

The heavy weapons confirmed are Grenade Launchers, LMGs, Gatling gun and rapid fire shotgun as far as I know.

» Tue Nov 17, 2009 11:59 am

rapid fire shotgun eh?

might be fun with an AR..... not sure if that seems worth it though considering that a GL + a normal shotty seems like a better all around combo.

Or an LMG + normal shotgun....

I dunno, I guess we'll see when we actually play :foodndrink:

I bet a big heavy health buffed enemy with an auto-shotgun in CQC would be terrifyingly powerful actually

I have only heard them mention auto shotguns once.

nce is all it takes...

Unless they decide they were overpowered and pull them out... or nerf their power and make them Medium (ie; slow and powerful shotguns, or fast firing, but weaker shots) I imagine it still holds true

They won't nerf one of the main weapon groups so far in if there still around, I think auto shotguns should have the same clip size, accuracy, etc. but are automatic. Since they are heavy only weapons (now) i could live with higher damage.
Or they could go the easy MW2 way and nerf auto shotties with low ammo and low clip size, actually a pretty good balancing method imo

They definately should not have the same accuracy and clip size. MW2 barely nerfed them at all, just equip Sleight of Hand Pro and you can go til you run out of ammo. You can shoot people from 20 feet away with an auto shotgun. If theyr going to nerf them, at least reduce their accuracy, distance, and damage. It doesnt matter if their heavy, and clip size isnt a big factor IMO, but accuracy and distance ARE.

Weapon customization (Scopes, etc) is going to be huge
Same for skins.

Accuracy and distance with shotguns shouldn't be relevant, your inherent problem is not op shotguns if youre talking about nerfing the ranges of autos, heavies need better guns like lights need speed the whole idea of the game is heavy guns being better than those of lights.

thats true but a shotgun that keeps its damage after traveling 20 feet is over powered any way you look at it..

Well the shotgun is a med weapon and the auto shotgun is a heavy.

Indeed the shotgun is a situational weapon for close range.
