I realize similar polls have been done but i want people to really think about it because from what i have seen hardly anyone is going heavy, and i think heavies will add a lot of cool gameplay and awesome moments where your thinking "This is the coolest, most badass thing ive ever done".

Personally, im going medium medic

(edit) one heavy vote out of 4! awesome

I'm going Heavy all the way personally. Nothing else for me, I want to make the biggest scariest monster character heh. Soldier, Heavy my friends going medic and we have an engineer as well. Their both going medium I believe so I'm the tank in a sense.

Do explain heavy cool gameplay?? There are plenty of Heavy fanatics H0RSE and reptaR at the head of the formation.

Anyway any class or body type will have awesome moments, so I don't get the point of this thread.

A good number of my characters will be Heavies; it's just not my favorite body type, going from what I've heard and seen so far. Aesthetically also, I'd rather be a regular guy instead of a big hulking brute.

dont worry about it. what people say now is not what there gonna be when the game releases(well most people). light and heavy is more a trade than a popularity choice. for instance if i wanted to be a medic than i would need to go through the ideas on how im gonna pull it off. i can be a light medic and get to people somwhat quicker and also heal the other lightys on higher platforms that heavys cant reach. or i can play a heavy medic wich would be a better option if a majority of players on the team were willing to stay near you. this trade works with all classes based on what weight other people choose. so if you think about it a month after release it should kind of balance itself out.

Tons of options for every size quite honestly.


Gonna try as many cominations as I can.


Probably gonna pretend I'm playing Mirror's Edge as a Light though. Woooo for throwbacks.

I think most people (especially on the consoles) will end up going Medium or Heavy, they just like the idea of being a ninja!

Medium and light (especially light) will be ninjas... I think you made a mistake.
I just hope that there won't be too many ninja flankers.

:rofl:

OP, the current poll should suffice. There will be plenty of people playing heavies, the reason the lights are getting so much love is because they use the SMART system to the fullest, and because that is the main draw to the game people want to use it as much as possible.

I lol'd

heavy :mohawk:

We have an artist amongst us

I will certainly enjoy being heavy time to time laying down the punishment face to face on the front line.


Most of the time I'll be shooting ppl in the side or back of the head flanking as a light weight though.

I doubt I'll be playing much medium TBH..... but we'll see how it goes. Head height is pretty damn good for maneuverability... and AR's and shotguns just might be good enough to warrant giving up another 10 FEET of climb

Speak for yourself

it'll be annoying if when you play there's 6 other lights on your team all trying to be commandos

Yes, losing assured.

I wasn't aware of commando as a class?? :spotted owl:

... commando as in they're gonna try to be ZOMG ninjas and go out and try to kill everyelse

I thought killing people was part of the game.

it is part of the game
but there's also the idea that you work with your team and not just try to rack up your own points- its supposed to set brink apart from the other games
and im guessing half of those commandos are going to end up dieing before they even get any kills

So why is it only lights that your fear this from?

because they have A WHOLE 10 FEET OF EXTRA OMG PARKOUR (this is sarcastic...)
and my whole point is that people think lights are so cool and that they can own everyone else
people don't seem to have the same inflated ideas about other classes

It all depends on the player and what suits them best. While heavy will be more suited for run and gun (taking large amounts of damage), they will require players to play efficiently to best use a heavy, whether it be covering team mates, distracting, destroying things and sneaking in to cause mass damage to enemy teams. Then a light will have to be more cautious and need to sneak more and pick people off alternatively. Some ppl will svck at heavy, some will svck at light etc. But in the end it's who you prefer and play best with. None are better than the other.

Also due to set objectives, each type will be best suited for different tasks, so will be interesting to see how people go

Let me put my view in perspective for you. You like so many other fear the MW2 crowd jumping on Brink and ruining it for everyone. Most of you take this to be all those stupid people who will play light in order to be commando knifers. Funny I never hear anyone complain about a heavy spamming noob tubes. Or mediums camping with shotguns or assault rifles.

Plenty of people won't play for their team and the team will suffer for. They will also suffer since this isn't how the game was intended to be played. Still the fact that most people seem to have perceptions of that light users have the belief at they are elite ninjas and will destroy anyone in their path.

I haven't heard this idea outside of jest on this forum. So please quit whining about something you don't know will happen and if it does you have no ability to stop it either.
