in COD or halo its about getting kills but in brink since its objective based it would be pointless to camp because you get a lot more exp by doing the objectives

defending is not camping.

camping is hiding in wait for easy kills

defending is anything but easy kills, because the enemy knows where you are and will try numerous tactics to remove you so they can proceed.

the first is cheap, the second is a gameplay element of this very game.

defending is still kinda camping because you are not really moving around a lot

If there isnt a tdm mod in any of fps game it will be fall down

The thing is some of the maps have alot of vertical movement, i think a light with a short rifle should be able to just SMART up to ledge and get to work.

Would be pretty sad to see BRINK fall into oblivion becuase the lack of DM modes, but who knows.. I think this will do well

So if I am in a room with a squad of buddies who are protecting the objective with turrets and C4 and guns aimed at entry points - you'd curse under your breath when I killed you because you'd say I was camping? Even though it is obvious to you and all your teammates where the objective is and that there will be people defending it?

"WHAT!? People are camping the objective! They should be running around aimlessly throughout the rest of the map! Ahhh, campers!"

I don't even see how it is up for discussion, but whatever. I will camp the [censored] out of objectives though, so be warned.



100% correct.



So just because you're not moving that automatically means you're camping? Refer to my reply above to ItalianDevil ..

I don't think you 2 know what "camping" truly means ..

Depends on your definition of camping.

There will always be successful campers.

But perhaps the numbers won't be as insanse in BRINK as in other games.

Right up there with successful snipers eh?

Indeed. I've been a very successful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8WQzqTTwbI as well, with two-shot & three-shot sniper-rifles and a semi-auto assault rifle.

Isn't that a free online game? If so, where can I get my hands on it?

I suspect that camping in one location will be largely ineffective, partially due to the high freedom of movement that the SMART system grants, defenders shouldn't be standing still either, they should be moving around within their area and check the perimeters constantly, and perhaps launch a counterattack if the attackers are slowing down/have been stalled.
Standing still as a defender is the perfect way to let attackers dial in their grenades and grenade launchers so that they can hit you from out of sight.

Of course, if you're on a secluded high location with one or two ways to reach it, and have equipped an accurate scoped weapon, you will probably be able to provide fire support for a great amount of time if you're sufficiently accurate.

You have a pretty sweet Jericho.


GamersFirst got the rights for it, and opened a closed beta.

Camping as a negative connotation hasn't really existed since quake III. There are so many ways to kill people with the arsenal presented nowadays in games, if you got killed, you weren't playing as well as the person who killed you. If he threw a grenade by accident and killed you, yeah, that was pretty cheap, but if he found a spot where he can kill people without getting tagged himself, he is playing the game better than you.

The only people who whine about camping now, are the people who lose to it. I think most camping is a fun challenge to get around and outsmart the camper.

In Brink, even though it isn't kill based, if someone finds a good camp in a hall leading to an objective, and all they do is kill your team over and over again? That's being a team player and helping their team achieve their goals.

Games are too diverse and complicated to blame losing on things like "camping."

Also, I thought this was pretty relevant to a point someone made:

I'm pretty sure I've read in GI that it's already been discontinued and no longer has any product support.

lol that one is priceless

As people have said already, http://forums.gamersfirst.com/index.php?&showforum=629 have picked it up. Originally it was a full-price title published by EA and developed by Realtime Worlds (Scotland based, btw.; lots of good stuff coming from Europe these days), though.


I had.

At least I'll get http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7482/apbrevofinancial.jpg back; hopefully.

Its a run and gun game and they seem to be very object ridden soo camping will get you killed fast.

Unless you're far away from the front lines, but so high you can see the enemy.......or maybe at an objective holding it down.........or around a corner can get you 2-3 kills......

Well, I guess I know what your Resistance character will look like now

all of us know what his character will look like

You can't camp with a sniper rifle that's why it's called a sniper rifle and not a camping rifle.

You sit in a secluded, hard-to-reach and/or hard-to-destroy spot and you pick off people with a sniper rifle. That's usually the definition of camping.
