Basically I watched the new trailer from Gametrailers.com, it was pretty sweet, my heart sank when I heard there's no oneshot headshots or room clearing explosives.
I hope they have a hardcoe mode that puts this back in because I love hardcoe. Sure it makes a single guy an army which Brink isn't about but make it an option please.

If you have the same or similiar thoughts you should post.

You know what would make this game awesome? If it wasn't like this game...

There are plenty of one man army games, this isn't and shouldn't be another one of them.

I hope they DON'T have that.

Every additional - optional - feature is ultimately splitting the playerbase.

There arte difficulty settings, so you could put it on easy for a similar effect. You will have to play it singleplayer for that, though.

As far as I know, the difficulty only affects the intelligence level of the bots. Nothing else, I'm pretty positive.

I typically prefer hardcoe mode in TDM, probably not so much in an objective game. I'm not infuriated by a person suggesting such a thing though.

Would need balancing... Some things that would need to be tweaked (off the top of my head) would likely be the soldier's body shield skill, objective arming/interaction times, and splash damage stuff.

Of course, a proper HC mode has friendly fire on, which is contrary to the dev vision (right?) and leads me to believe that HC mode would not be suitable for Brink.

I really just want to :flamethrower: the hell out of you but it's not nice to do so. but i will say this if you want hardcoe play BO if you want a game that has something new and different to offer play Brink. but never shall the two meet just mentioning hardcoe for brink is a crime in itself.
Sorry This message was also ment for the guy who started this post as well as anyone who thinks like him.

Not going to happen. A hardcoe mode would be counter-intuitive to Brink's goals and objective setup. If you're looking for another quasi-military simulator FPS, Battlefield 3 is on its way later this year.

Negative. Splash Damage considered this and discarded it for a reason.

Trust your Splamage Lords.

im with everyone else on this its why they took out OHK and grenades that damage in the first place

they wanted ppl playing more not being dead the entire time

Playful links aside, no. hardcoe would ruin what Brink is all about, like so many people have stated.

But thanks for posting. :thumbsup:

In all seriousness Brink doesn't need hardcoe mode... I don't think it would be very popular if it was in there anyway....

I've always been against hardcoe... nothing good comes from it IMO

Here's a tip for the member who might have noticed a post or three were deleted... not interested in a subject? Seen it too many times before? Don't feel like answering it again? Then don't post. Posting a photo to highlight your ennui with the whole topic will be considered spam.

hardcoe mode was left in the ditch for a reason. Theres no need for it.

A community comes from it. Not like they're respected for toting that they play hardcoe, but a manner of brotherhood does arise from a hardcoe option.

Once more, I am against the idea of a hardcoe gametype.

Not a fan in objective games, works in TDM and sometimes in CTF. but not in objective.

hardcoe mode fundamentally means people die faster.

When people die faster in an attack/defend match, defense is automatically easier, and always has the advantage.

OK I see that a hardcoe mode would be bad on Brink, from watching the movies I think its pretty close to hardcoe already. Halo is my idea of a core game because you have to whittle down a shield then kill the enemy. That can take ten seconds or more. In Brink it seems like you can kill someone in under a second which is pretty good. You people really get offended by the thought of hardcoe it seems. I can understand.

Not speaking for all but i myself am sick of playing the same game type over and over IMO the COD francise has ruined the FPS genre. Brink is a breath of fresh air.

Why is that such a bad thing? I like a challenge.

Then you will appreciate taking out all the easy no skill solutions.

Yep.

Don't know that the game would function with a "hardcoe" mode, but don't neccesarily think that's a "no skill solution" either. Just another one of those modes that "could work".

You know, hardcoe plays like those game modes that you create in Halo that turn out to work and are a diversion but aren't really balanced and have a 10-30 minute fun factor. It's really dumb that you are stripping away the game balance and features. To have control of a good majority of the elements. hardcoe mainly removes the chance even when you are being careful. A game where it basically had the same damage model, Brothers In Arms, was able to make such a concept work with crappy accuracy when being shot or shooting at a guy behind cover, focusing on a more real fix, flank, finish realistic situation. ARMA and Operation Flashpoint focus on less artificial elements but requires team work, communication, and carefulness and the accuracy and map size make sure you can't one man army things or rush opponents, nor would you ever want to.

And I really hate the use of the word, hardcoe. hardcoe is something for a Single Player game where if you die, your saves are deleted. That's really hardcoe compared to no hud a few less bullet intake.

I really don't get why you would target my post instead of the OP for your anti-HC mode sentiment. Did you read the whole post? I know there were about four lines there...
