More game modes in brink : Othor Games

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 6:29 pm

OK i started a topic on something like this earlier but it got locked because certain people couldn't discuss it in a civil manner.*flamebait removed* I am not a huge COD fan so please if you are going to say that i should go play COD then please don't post. This is suppose to be a civil discussion on to improve BRINK since its ratings..not by me but by popular magazines.. are not good. This game is awesome but it needs more. It gets repetitive because its the same thing on a very small number of maps. this is why i think more game modes could help

On with the idea. I want more game modes or content to keep the game fresh. such as a VERSION OF TDM.. notice i said version so people who said don't play the game go play COD.. make sure and read. a version of TDM such as king of the hill type thing. You have a common area that both teams must fight to hold. If one team loses then they get pushed back to a different area. if they lose that then they get pushed back to their spawn and if they lose that the game is over. That way teams must be tactical in pushing the other team back while reaching a certain amount of kills. you have to work together or you will never take an area and if you take an area you can get bonuses.. its a work in progress.

Someone said in that thread i mentioned about having both teams on offense at the same time so both teams might have to place an HE charge.. that sounded very interesting.

A different one could be similar to the escort missions where you have to escort someone to an area like in the campaign but instead of one team escorting while the other tries to stop them. both teams could be escorting while simultaneously trying to stop the other team. thus making it more tactical and team playing than one is offense and one is defense.

Any ideas please put below. if you said something negative in the last thread don't post here i want to have a fun conversation on how to improve BRINK if you don't like my ideas you can say so without saying the F word twenty times. ANY ideas
This is the thread i am refrencing..edit.. i can't post a locked thread a moderator just told me..sorry

I still dont think you are picking this up.
WE DO NOT WANT ANY GAME MODES THAT ARE IN RELATION TO CALL OF DUTY OR ANY OTHER GENERIC GAME MODE.
I'm not trying to be mean, but this is where most of us are trying to get to with you. We just dont want them.

Now we get what you are invisioning but it just will not work. Even if two teams fight over the same area, there would be no reason for it. Understand from a lore point. If Resistance dont want it, Security dont want it, nobody wants it. They fight over items, not turf.

funny because not one thing i mentioned was in COD.. don't refrence the game if you have never played it. not one of those things even remotly exists and i came up with the first one? someone else who loved brink like me came up with the other two so it isn't just me that wants this. why do you only want one mode like objective. that gets old its the same thing over and over take this.. hack this..

Actually i think two team offense could be something cool maybe not as a separate game mode but as a new type of objective. The way i'm thinking of it is as two teams having to escort a bot to retrieve something vital and then having who gets there first determine how the rest of the match unfolds, but that being said I don't think it will happen but it's a cool thought. As for team death match I don't care if they add it I don't want it so i'm not gonna ask for it just like in bad company 2 i wouldn't play it. DM just doesn't fit campaign therefore it doesn't really fit with brink but honestly as long as they don't put any DM in campaign and make it a separate part of multi player than i don't really care.

I personally believe capture the flag, king of the hill, and oddball would be great to have in this game because of the fact they are objective based.

how about plain and simple we dont worry about kills why do you need to like do you just get supper happy when you see like 20 kills in brink
if you want a tdm based w/e then get a piece of paper and write down every time you get a kill, then compare with friends and people you someone get to do this online, then look at who got most kills ing ame by going to awards, send him a cookie?

I'm very sorry but we don't allow locked threads to be reopened without moderator approval. Please read our rules.

Edit: OP, I have edited your opening post to remove reference to problems in the last thread. I am going to reopen this one in hopes we can discuss this in a more civil manner this time around. All of us being kind, respectful of others opinions and maybe we can actually debate different aspects of game play and why some prefer one type over another. Could be interesting.

In the future though, pm the moderator that locks a thread prior to starting another. We generally don't allow a new thread about the same thing to be made after one is locked for cause.

I said GENERIC as well as CoD. And what I am saying is, from a lore perspective; they only go after WHAT THEY NEEEEEEEED! They dont go capture flags and kill their own people just for the doing it. Security and Resistance are locked into battle and frown upon eachother, there is no ruthlessness. And if you want kills, how about you hop to gamebattles, grab a group, then mark ur kills because most of us here really dont care about our K/D in this type of game. And there alreaddy is a CTF; it's called Chen's plans and Intel Intent. I hope you now know why we cant have these type of game modes within this game.

I'm seeing what you are saying. The whole premise of the game is that it is Resistance trying to leave and security trying to keep you there. Playing "capture the flag" would not be something they would fight over. They are fighting for freedom.

I play a lot of RPG's and so when you said "lore" I was like, "Lore in a shooter?", but really it is sort of like lore, it's about the story behind the game.

But then again could they not add a map for something with the fell of "capture the flag" that was game related with a bit of creative thinking?

Or am I way off here. (admittedly I play RPGs mostly but I do play plenty of shooters, I just don't understand the game mechanics of it very well)

capture the flag is where each team has a flag.. or person to escort .. both teams must capture the escort while protecting theirs. that mission you said just now does not contain that

and thank you summer. i am sorry i didnt know you couldnt post locked threads but thank you for leaving this open

does anyone have any ideas on any game modes for BRINK .. Lore was important to some people so try and tie it into the lore

I actually like the idea of both teams escorting... Very interesting.
Very refreshing from the old 'Give us more game modes, like... TDM!'

Yes, both teams escorting is a valid idea. I approve.

Wait, how would it work? Do you mean a race for who gets it done first?

not really sure how it would work or tie into the story. thats what i am hoping people will help me with because it can be a cool idea with new fresh gameplay..i guess whoever got there escort to the destination first wins but im not sure yet.. any ideas?

I'm not sure either but I do believe they will be giving us some refreshing new maps. Just probably not what you are asking for. Never the less, we will get more.

Hm... That may be difficult... I like the idea, but nothing comes to mind when you think of how to base it to the story...
