i fear brink may not contain enough action. i mean, there arent any mounted weapons of some sort. games like bf and cod have a lot of action because there is always something going on. i just think brink wont have much going on.

and another thing about not enough action. why is it only 8 v 8?? what would u guys rather do/ whats more fun, killing someone or doing an objective? well the answer to me is both. i wanna have people blocking my way to complete the objective. and i fell 8 v 8 wont really have that happen. are the maps huge like bf? or are they kinda like cod sized? cuz if its cods size then 8 v 8 is ok. but even though, i feel not enough action will be going on as there arent any mounted weapons.

i mean, from the gameplay walkthroughs, its pretty slow paced and not very interesting.

i just got enough money for this game after selling homefront, and i really want this game to be good as i dont want to wait until november for battlefield 3 and uncharted 3.

thoughts on my concerns guys?

8 v 8 is a perfect size for what they wanted to accomplish and I don't want to be getting shot every time I try to use a command post or hack this or that. There has to be some sneaky play and I think it will be good. Mounted weapons are usually overpowered but they are in the game.... Engineers create them in certain spots. Oh and I don't believe the maps are super huge but you move around after completing an objective so they won't be tiny either.


Also watch the very first video on the home site and someone uses a mounted gun very soon into it....

There are mounted weapons.
8v8 is perfect size for this game.
I can tell you that they won't be as big as a BF map. (I haven't played BF, but from my guesses they are pretty big)

Slow paced? And Battlefield isn't?? Haha, seriously though, a game doesn't have to be all-out action to be good.

In fact, the best shooter match I've ever played was on SOCOM: Confrontation... it was just me and ONE guy on the enemy side, stalking each other in the pitch-black ruins of a bombed-out and abandoned hotel in the middle of a city at night. Gotta say, I didn't kill him more than 4 times in the 20 minutes, but slinking around dark tunnels and vast, barely-illuminated halls, perching in windows keeping a lookout over the carparks, knowing he could be around any corner or through any door made my gut churn and my hands sweat.

What do you mean not enough action?
CoD is only 6 v 6 and there's tons of action. Of course not as much as Bad Company but you still have action. And this game has PARKOUR!!!!! Nothing says action like jumping off of a wall and making Swiss cheese out of people with an SMG.
And there are mounted guns but a Engineer has to build them first.

8v8 is fine for the size of map which I think it will have, they will be a LOT smaller than BF maps because that is a lot different to this game. There are mounted weapons which engineers can build.

There really is enough, and they have said that they are going to keep their eye on the game and maintain it to a high standard, so that means patching out bugs and hacks, and adding DLC, hopefully adding extra maps, weapons, camo more customisation stuff etc.

really only 8 v 8? is that for PC edition as well?

please stop making threads about your misguided fears and read up on the game first. "not enough action" really ... this game is doing groundbreaking things with movement just so you can be involved in the most intense, fast paced, and controllable action the genre has ever seen.

I think someone needs to read the Brink Bible in my sig,

As the others have said there are mounted machine guns but no vehicles hence smaller maps. Also wouldn't larger maps slow things down?

Welcome to the forum :turtle:

slow things down among other things. Can I Get C-A-M-P-I-N-G!

Slow paced? I think that the biggest factor that defines the action in any game is the player base.

You started off with comparing Brink to BF and COD....
:flamethrower:

I personally hate comparing Brink to any other game because Brink is it's own game, in my opinion, but if we're gonna look at the 8v8 aspect of it Brink will do perfectly fine with it. Look at Halo: Reach they do 8v8 and in a place like forge world where you can make a map HUGE it still works out. I would say something about the mounted machine guns and the pace of the game also but I feel like I would be beating an already dead horse with a stick at this point.:brokencomputer::violin::poke:

I had the same feeling about the 16 player amount on this game but I think it's a good amount for this game. I would've liked if there were a little more than just 16 though. Maybe 20 (10vs10) players. But whatever. I'm excited for this game but because if the art style of Brink it kinda kills the action for me.

Hey, you probably should have read the BRINK bible first. If your not going to spend the time to do research before you post something, don't bother posting at all.

My recommendation would be to go read what others have said about the game that have actually played it. A lot of people that have written out their thoughts said it was one long bloody brutal battle basically. Especially the prisoner escort mission apparently. So I wouldn't worry about it, but go read the brink bible and reports on the game. Their all over the web, a quick google search should be sufficient. 8vs8 always seemed crazy enough for me for really in any game. Although I'm a 360 guy so I guess its what I am used to.

16 people, with a large variety of guns and abilities at their disposal, herded into close-quarter combat architectural design, trying to complete smaller objectives within an over-arching goal.....

If this does not sound like enough action for you, I suggest you skip buying the game and spend the money on crack instead.

There are mounted machine guns which are either already present on the maps or constructed by an Engineer.

8 v 8 makes the game focused and tight-knit. You will remember exceptional allies and enemies by appearance and playstyle.

In terms of the action, almost all of us haven't played it yet, so it would be silly to claim something without experience. However, I recommend you read the Brink Bible in Wraith's signature and also watch the Bomb Defusal walkthrough on YouTube or GameTrailers, or the new GT.TV segment on Brink.

8 vs 8 is more than enough. Games like Halo and Gears, have about 10-16 players in total, and they play out just fine. Bioshock's multiplayer has 5 v 5, and that has plenty of action from my own experience. I can see the concern if a game will be as good as it is predicted to be, but this game has been in the making for years, and with one of the best multiplayer developing teams focused behind it, I doubt it will displease.

maybe it is you who cannot contain enough for brink?

ok thats kool, i didnt know about mounted weapons. but, will the map change at all? i cant really explain it, but if u guys are familiar with rush from bfbc2 or homefront, once you complete the objectives, the whole map shifts. is it like that?

also, i am not from the usa. i have trouble to understanding reading stuff in english. my other concern is lack of content.. so its always gonna be 8 v 8 and one the team attacks, and one team defends. that is all? wouldnt that get kinda boring after a while.. bliviongate:

anyone plz? :celebration:

Well at parts of the maps are accessible but the objectives will shift what part of the maps are the focal points.

Well doesn't TDM after awhile?

The thing about Brink is the variety of body types and classes which allow you to play the game in different ways.

I feel his concern too. I am just worried that with 8v8 and everyone going off to do their own side missions that there won't be all that many intense gun fights; I know the movement speeds and gameplay will be fast,I am just worried about the action. In MAG (not saying more players is better) there is always someone to shoot when going to the objective and often times there is so much action that you can drop anywhere from 50-150 people depending how good you are or the game mode you are playing but that is cause all the players are pushing towards one or two sole objectives. In BRINK it seems as though players will be trying to do their own side objectives to help move the overall objective along, so with only 8 players on the other team this aspect worries me a bit that it will be more cat and mouse instead of scrambling for your life to live in an intense firefight in order to complete the objective. Do you guys see this as a problem or do you think that there will be plenty of intense gun fights?

...i don't think i can correct this enough but i'll try

#1 there ARE mounted turrets an Eng even makes one n then uses it one people up in a nest
#2the maps are more long than large they aren't BFBC size but they are ALOT bigger then CoD
#3parkour only makes you faster , BfBC is a super slow game cause it takes SO long to go somewhere n CoD is only fast paced cause your all a bunch of hyped up all for one n none for all teams just trying to scam as much xp ever.
#4you don't have to "want" it to be awesome it just is.
