I don't think it is in the objective wheel because it's "important enough," but rather because any sort of objective goes in the wheel, including reviving/healing teammates, supplying ammo and even switching classes.

Brink will differ in this aspect for a few reasons:

Although this is a good tactic, it won't always be successful and here's why:

In both QW and ET, grenades can blow up enemy mines, whether they were detected or not. So when people start playing Brink and they are learning the game, the maps, the tactics, etc. mines will be sick. A lot of players won't be expecting them and some won't even know they're in the game. But eventually, when players start to get their [censored] together, they are going to learn where the Engineer "hot spots" are for planting mines, and like clockwork, they will come to these areas and instinctively toss nades as a precaution. Now this doesn't mean mines will be useless - there will always be an abundance of idiots who get killed by obvious mines - but as more people play and learn the ropes, the more clever Engineers will need to get with their mines.

Of course, Brink could be totally different, and nades can't blow up mines or whatever. I'm just basing it off gameplay tactics I remember doing and seeing when I played ET and QW.

Have we heard anything yet from the devs about restricting the areas where turrets can be deployed?

i think so. it wont be that limited, just probably around the enemies spawns and some other areas

I hope they dont put to big a limit on where you can place them. I can see right next to enemy spawn but I dont see why they would restrict anywhere else.

the turrets arent overpowered enough for that

i think there is a way that is making the enemy spawns inaccessible but im not exactly sure how. maybe powerful turrets or a wall that can only be cleared from one side, like one side has a ramp and the other side doesnt. that seems like a good idea

They already stated something about base turrets that are indestructible. But your right there are plenty of ways to go about keeping people out of spawns ex. setup boundry lines by bases that only that team can go past, or like you said have the exits of the base where you have to drop out and no one can get back in.

Since everyone keeps making new topics I was thinking of bring up the original.

From what the dev's have said the basic turret has the strength of an assault rifle. It can be upgraded to make it more dangerous. Do you think it will be eventually be powerful to be a deterrent and not a distraction?

I hope so.

It depends on how many times you buff it. And I think you can use it as a deterrent anyway. With good placing, like down say a narrow hallway. It seems to be something not worth ignoring. I think they mean that you have enough time to dodge it is what they meant by it won't get you many kills.

If you place a turret in a narrow hallway, it would be a good idea to protect it... I personally would lay some mines farther down the hallway, so if they do kill the turret, they would still have a nice surprise waiting for them.

You are running down past the ruined remains of the turret laughing at your victory then turn the corner and boom. Engineer pops on screen, "whose laughing now?"

the heavy with the grenade launcher if the mine didn't fully kill him :celebration:
that engineer would have the scare of that life

Between the turret and mine I am sure the heavy should be pretty dead.

This is assuming that the enemy is alone and they havent been healed by a medic after taking care of the turret.

and assuming that the heavy was the one that took care of the turret, could have been a diff heavy wich is now waiting for a medic

right, thanks for the reminder.

has any light been shed on the turret upgrades yet?
