You don't spawn at all CP's. Also moral of the story make sure your team commands the CP's.

And where did you get that piece of information? Last thing I heard, you chose to spawn at a CP and the bonuses it gave your team varied on your engineers.

Originally you could spawn at CP's, but I think they removed it iirc. There are forward spawns but not CP's. Atleast last time I checked it was this way.

can you verify that? Cuz I want to know more.

Check the Compendium I'd say. Probably the easiest solution, because I don't want to go through all interviews and vids again ^^

Then again BRINK doesn't want to be fair all the time.

As we have heard before (and can actually see in the PAX East gameplay videos), there is a mission in which the Resistance have to http://www.splashdamage.com/screens_brink/023.jpg (or something similar) while escorting a NPC. Therefore they have to get across a large, mostly open space while the Security hide at the exit gate http://www.splashdamage.com/screens_brink/019.jpg (making the little bit of cover there is mostly redundant).

Yes, I know In one of the original W:ET maps they also had to get inside of the base of the enemy to blow something up. When you succeeded, it gave you a certain satisfaction. SD + Mapdesign = win.
Oh, and for the people who never played battery on W:ET: you had to push up a hill and construct an assault ramp right in front of their initial spawn, while they could fire on you from different angles. But, with decent teamwork it was pretty easy to secure the ramp and push up the hill.

Well, generally speaking I like the idea of SOME destruction within maps, and the soldiers fit the role. Their job is to destroy things that get in the way of the objective whether it be enemies, walls, etc.

Also I agree with defenders getting an advantage, and then the attackers getting a later advantage but it really depends on how teamwork within the game works out.

Dynamic weather.

Just at random intervals a little storm (or patch of fog) passes through, making it hard to see. Plus the lightning and howling wind could be a factor. Kind of like the Hard Rain campaign in L4D2.

It would also be pretty cool if the map could turn from day to night or vice versa. What would that be called? Dynamic time?

SOME destruction would be nice, the occasional crumbling wall, a weakened door or barricade, glass, etc. Not to the degree of BFBC, of course.

Destroy destroyable objectives? You blow stuff up AND you help the team.

That's called a day-night-cycle.

However, this won't be in as a random element. Each map has a set maximum amount of time and narrates a certain part of the Story which takes place in BRINK (roughly over the time-span of two weeks). Now there could be scripted changes in day-time and weather, but I think Splash Damage disclaimed this already.

I think thats a great idea! I really like it and I think that would make it a ton more realistic. I also think that it would be cool to compare and see what was easier... to do a mission in day light when everyone is around and knows where everyone is or.... at night time when everyone is sneaking around and trying to complete their objectives (or something like that)

Just saying really good idea

It's one of the few features I would like to see. Perhaps only in freeplay mode, to ensure that the story keeps its "drama" (By lack of a better word)

:laugh:


:banghead:
Yeah, if someone's shooting all of the walls, then I can't go :ninja: jumping around as a Light, lol.

So, no. Maybe small little crates, but not walls, pipes or big crates.

I think it would beat the purpose of the SMART aspect, ya know?

PEOPLE TOO... since a person can count as being part of another's environment...

Bottom line if Brink had the engine capable to create destruction they would implement into the game.
I see the SMART button would only be of great help in a destructible environment and eventually a necessity for all destructible environments. By this I see things falling in my way giving me more things to use the smart button to jump over destruction leading to even better tactical advantages. Maps change because of destruction thus requiring different strategy instead of the same old map strategy when the map doesn't change. Many times in BC2 I would like to climb up the wreckage from buildings to get advantage to shoot from but can't (where's that damn smart key dice?).

I agree everything doesn't have to be destructible things made of steel or concrete do not have to be destroyed they do this very effectively in BC2. It is neat to see a map completely different from what it originally started as.

My guess the for future (5years from now) of all fps gaming will have good to substantial amounts of destruction in them and the smart key will be implemented into most of them.

The question is if BRINK will be at the forefront of FPS gaming five years from now. Judging by its substantial acclaim now, it wouldn't be a surprise.

I like that idea--for the future, I mean. Right now, I don't think Brink or FPS's have that kind of engine right now.

I think there should be preferred weapons for different class's. Like if I chose medic it would give me my smg then half way threw my mission I feel like changing myself to and engineer hoping that once I select him he would change my weapon to shotgun...that way I'm not in the loading menu for to long for enemies to kill me.

Also...we all know about how everyone gets there special missions... but lets say someone gets the same mission as you on the same team... if he completes the objective shouldn't everyone with that same mission get the exp as well as the person that did the objective...or its it distributed to everyone... I think it should be that if someone completes an objective then the whole team should benefit.

Please tell me your thoughts and ideas! Or fill in the blanks for me.

Thx :intergalactic:

I gotta say I like the way it is now. I think that completing the objective and allowing your team to progress is more than enough reward for everyone. Plus, getting personal exp for completing objectives provides motivation to go out and get things done yourself, otherwise people would just sit back and kill the enemy while other people completed objectives.

Gonna have to agree with Jessome on that one, if you give people an inch then they'll try their best to take a mile. :glare:

always a liberal in the crowd. :tongue:

I know it's WAY too early to be thinking of sequels (Brink hasen't even came out yet, lol), but if Brink had a sequel, I would love to see the stuff above this in it.
