Are you God, Wraith?

I think most forum veterans would agree that H0rse is closer to God. Wraith is probably more like Michael the Archangel. With disguises and stickies and hackpads and mad ninja skills.

I tend to agree with you.
But I don't like your tone.

you are reading text in a computer. you have no way of knowing what tone im taking.

SD calls in mingleplayer deal with it.


Well excuse you. And so what if someone if SD calls it like that? you dont have a brain of your own? or do you just do anything that SD tells you to do or say?

i dont care who or how many people like that name. it sounds like a pow wow for elderly people.

Interesting article. It seemed to portray Brink in a different light than most of the articles i've been reading.

It seems like Splash Damage is doing what Pandemic did for Star Wars Battlefront.


Ha, so I'm not the only one who thought this.
I was actually a huge fan of the two BF games.

And thanks for the interview Wraith. Good read.

Wraith is a demigod. The guy before him was a demigod AND a prophet, but my only contact with him has been indirect, through reading his works (the Brink Bible, obviously). (EDIT: Yes, he is a powerful enough being that I feel uncomfortable uttering his name. It's a vampire thing. We're supposedly not able to speak the true name of God either, although I never had trouble with that one...)

Also, Wraith is the only one other than me who sounds like he has the right idea about being a Light Operative. So far. There are rumours of another one floating around for PC as well, but those are yet to be confirmed (he's a good ninja, not being seen until it's too late).

Of course he did, you were screaming in all caps and you were extremely adamant in your "request" (more like "unreasonable demand") for us to do things your way. What are we here, six years old? Grow up a little bit.

Well excuse you. And so what if someone if SD calls it like that? you dont have a brain of your own? or do you just do anything that SD tells you to do or say?

Excuse you. We don't care what you think either. We're all allowed to have our own opinions; we just happen to agree with the developers in this case. We aren't mindless tryhard fan-boys. We're mature, educated advlts and gamers. Let's have a little respect for each other here, it will go a long way, and a mod won't have to instill the fear of God into you.

Rohugh: Cool it or you will be having a pow wow with me - OK?

Case in point.

You don't have to call it "mingleplayer" amongst yourself and your circle of friends. But since Splash Damage officially coined that term for this game, you're going to have to man up and face the fact that it's going to be referred to that way by everyone else in Brink. Sorry, that's the fact. I wish some of the weapons in Halo Reach had different names and I've renamed them in my fanfiction, but I'm hardly going to start a riot over it. Take a chill pill.

On topic: A good article overall. I think he's over-hyping the concerns about the single-player gamers getting into the game a bit; I actually wonder if a single gamer could pull off changing classes often to complete the main objectives himself and be rewarded with more XP than if a multiplayer specialized in one or two classes. Kind of like turning off "bots complete objectives" in ET:QW and having to do everything yourself. I suppose by the nature of the squad-based gameplay the classic "hero"-style campaign that Halo (and other games as well, but I'll focus on Halo for this example) was so well-known for won't work as well in Brink. But I don't think that makes it less fun, myself. With Brink's XP system rewarding helping my allies more than killing the enemy, I'm happy to trade being a lone-wolf juggernaut of death for a more supportive, helpful, constructive role. I totally get where SD is going with making the XP system reward making gameplay more fun for your allies, and I dig it. That's why I like Reach's Invasion mode so much; it forces cooperation, communication, socialization, and teamwork for the betterment of all, not the success of one.

Edit: Didn't know if you put "fan" and "boy" next to each other you got "really devoted fan" I actually saw [censored] before. Interesting word to censor.

Indeed it does. And btw, if anyone forgot, it was introduced as Mingleplayer. The term is used because... well... almost everyone uses it.
If you look at some of the older interviews, officially, they introduced the concept as Mingleplayer.
