That bothered me, i hope there is bobbing in the game so you can't play (only joking a little)




I understand your point but I hope it takes longer to kill people in Brink than in other fpses, games with longer kill times feel more balanced to me.

But it still isn't "countering" anything. SD games are fast paced - the amount of bullets to kill helps with this - previous SD games had no damage kick either - it still takes the same amount of bullets to kill either way. Having a damage kick would slow down the gameplay (and unbalance it) since the player getting short would have "downtime" since his aim was compromised.

Damage kick only makes it longer to kill for one getting shot - which is stupid.

I never did like damage kick.

Same here.

They didn't remove it, it was never there, W:ET and ET:QW had none, what did they remove ?

I understand you like the fact a lucky shot can disrupt an enemy's aim and give you more chances, but learning to headshot in bursts will help you more in the long run, it's a Splash Damage game keep moving and shoot for head, or you die

What does the damage indicator look like, then?

From what I've seen, blood splats on the screen in the direction the damage came from. Looks like maybe a slight red flash as well.

for one, your health decreases

Ah, yeah. Looks good. I hope there's a very, very slight damage kick, though.



Yeah, but that's not a damage indicator, though, is it?

there's not - http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showpost.php?p=262365&postcount=40

yeah i struggle without something to indicate i took damage. i'll be using a game pad though so hopefully pc brink will have proper rumble support

I just like the damage-kick because it gives me a better indication of being shot at.

Blood-splatter on the side of my screen is like "Oh, alright, there is some blood splattering. I guess that's not helpful now, is it?"
But a proper movement from my avatar is like "Oh sh't! Damn! Sh't! Gotta get outta here!"


After all I really don't like those games which don't have a hit-feedback on the avatars at all (this discussion sort of lighted up in http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1152712-weapon-hit-character-animations-and-death-animations/ quite a while ago).

Yeah me too, especially in BC2 when i would get nailed by snipers/tanks, with no warning, and my screen would slowly become red and i died. because no damage kick, i could not understand what happened. (devs are right tho, more health = less damage kick. Halo has no damage kick, and it's still fun. damage kick in that game would really mess things up.

If you can show your health on your crosshair (Color of crosshair changes) then you can pretty much disable everything that has to do with blurring your screen while taking damage. I never liked damage indicators that show the direction from where you're shot at.

I took it as there will be indicators, but damage kick wasn't one of them

Well, I can make do. Just tiny damage kick is good for finding the guy shooting at you.

How so? Damage kick doesn't determine where you are getting shot from, just that you are getting shot. The on-screen indicators (like blood splatters in Brink) shows which direction the damage is coming from.

When i read the tile of this thread i thought that you were talking about the in game character head bob not teh screen shaking.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq8bx0GmIL4 at teh 1:48 mark you see the bug and if you look at teh head it bobs like the neck is broken. i personally dont like this. id rather it be much realer looking straight with teh gun held firmly down ead y to fire. also in a photo it seems like the resistance has more agile strides and a "Runner" look to it.

Edit: also at teh 2:30 mark when they run up the ramp their feet arnt even on the ground

I find the game usually makes you recoil opposite to the direction of where the bullets hit you from. gives you a slight point of reference. I like it a when it's small, but not when it's so much that it effects your aiming (a la CoD)
