Heavy,medium or light?

Post » Wed Oct 13, 2010 3:20 pm

since we have 16 slots I will have 4 of each body type, one for each class (heavy, medium, light soldier, heavy medium, light medic...) plus for "messing around" slots.

No its not, Sorry, im an actual traceur. I do parkour all the time. Google it if you have to. Search videos on youtube like 'Parkour literally'

Please don't try and inform someone about a topic you don't know about. Be this a game, a sport, a job, or anything. At least do some research first, or else you just look ignorant. Sorry

Parkour: (the art of movement) is the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment. It is a non-competitive, physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible.

Anyways, back on topic, Wraith, i like it when people all try and do one tactic because either it will fail miserably, or else it will make others develop new tactics to counter it. So i say bring on all the Lights!

Actually I believe parkour originates from the Vietnam war but David Belle popularized it en francais

Anyways about the whole light operative ordeal... totally called it.

Great now there are 2 many light operatives running around. :facepalm:

The time will come, to seperate the wheat from the chaff.

Actually, disguise really wouldn't benefit a Heavy player, since he would be easy spot (he would always be slow)

Simple solution: Think smart - disguise as a heavy.

I wouldn't say it originates from the Vietnam War. It originates from a military movement style which was designed for scenarios like the Vietnam War, in which you would have to move quickly through unfamiliar terrain.

I think play dead would work better.

Heavies are only 1/3 of the possible bodytypes, and it is the least popular choice, so as I already said - Disguise really wouldn't benefit heavies.

Not only is it easier for Lights to disguise as anyone, it is also a useful skill for avoiding unwanted damage to their fragile frames, by sneaking past players - Heavies don't really need to sneak past, they can just blow the door down and make a grand entrance.

I'm more curious to know how many people are just not going to try and play as all three. I understand having a preference, but I think you're selling yourself short by not mixing it up with the limitless combinations available in the game.

I love medium class in every game i play. Using a combination of movement and gunskill is a deadly combination.

Disguising as a different bodytype might work on consoles, because they have dynamic movement speed. But on the PC, a light will always move as fast as a light can and a medium will always move as fast as a medium can.

Also you have to sacrifice your SMART-abilities if you want to play your disguise properly.

Wait, what?

You're telling me all bodytypes will move at equal speed on the console versions?

No. But they can because they can move at 50% speed if they want to.

Technically you won't be a freerunner, you will be a traceur. (Or doing parkour, not freerunning)

Parkour = efficient movement across urban environments (vaults, wall climbs, slides etc.)
Freerunning = Stylish movements for entertainment purposes (Flips, Hand spins, etc)

And in Brink you cannot do flips.
Just thought id let you know the difference because alot of people don't understand that sadly




Parkour= teh sport of getting from point A to B in the most stylish way posssible using the art of free running
FreeRunning= originaly french roof top running it has been modernized to be the distrubution of momentum to effectivly get over, around, through,under obstacles

I should hope that the game would limit your speed to the person you're disguised as, or at least leave it as an option.

That's what I hope as well.

A heavy operative could use a light as disguise to move around faster, too, then.

I said limit. Not increase, that would be silly, would be a way to get a heavy with a minigun to the next objective in a flash, not fair by any definition.

This could be exploited though by having said Heavy Operative disguise as a Light and move up to the defensive position faster and then undisguise to play defense. The radar ability alone would make a Heavy Operative fantastic for defense.

Where did you read that it differes on PC and console? As far as I have heard, disguising takes on the look and physique of the player, but player speed is not changed, regardless of what platform it is played on.

anolog sticks have variable output, he was just saying that you could walk at slower than 100% to seem less obvious.

What they mean is that the anolog sticks on consoles are pressure sensitive whereas the keyboardss are on/off. A Light or Medium disguised as a Heavy will need to slow down their movement to play their part while a Medium or Heavy disguised as a Light can never move that quickly. As a result it will be much harder to disguise movement using a keyboard as you will need an input capable of handling pressure sensitivity unless you are disguised as your movement type only.

Another major advantage to starting as a Light is that their restricted weapon selection will not be as much of an issue initially since you will not have unlocked many weapons. In this manner you can expand the Light's arsenal as you play and should you ever desire to switch to a Medium or Heavy you will have access to all of those weapons.

To be honest the best starting strategy is probably to run Light then Medium and lastly Heavy due to how the weapons overlap. This will allow you to use everything unlocked from the previous type on the current one whereas unlocking weapons for a Heavy has no benefit for a Light or Medium.

Where did you hear that you don't start with medium/heavy weapons?
