As I say, i may have been wrong about some things there, however - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150157286544843&set=a.10150149447139843.310536.94712919842&type=1&theater that picture there does show a molotov in the skills menu, and in a video ive seen when a molotov was thrown the player lost one blip of supply or power. I was just assuming, is that an instant unlock or something ye?

Either way, I still dont think getting a knock down from a molotov is cheap.

Well first they were then they weren't and now their back in. Check the vids in my sig if you don't take my word for it.

yeah i figured that out earlier.

I picked up on it before I finished reading the comment. I saw "Splash damage" out of the corner of my eye and thought "When did the devs come into this?"

:turned:



Lol I figured that would happen too. Good stuff.

If Molotov was a instant kill direct impact = overpowered !!

Overpowered for an OHK with a direct-hit molly?
Tell you what, go outside, cover yourself in alcohol and light it up. A direct hit molly is basically that. Personally I think some weapons in Brink SHOULD be OHK under certain circumstances. I mean hell if I shoot a guy point blank in the back of the head with a pistol that should be a kill. But with the pace of the game and everything that'd also be very hard to pull off. Same think with molotov's. If you get hit in the face with a flaming bottle of alcohol you shouldn't live to see tomorrow.

And the same would go for a grenade at my feet, a sniper round to the head, tripping a mine, and so on.

I have no problem with the Molotov doing decent damage, igniting anyone in the blast radius for damage over time, or knocking guys down, heck I don't mind it doing all three, but it shouldn't make it to OHK as a total.

If it is a 1 hit kill do you think their should be some kind of heads up? like the guy about to throw one yell's "heads up! Molotov coming in!" and then lighting it on fire and throwing it, maybe taking 3-4 seconds so their is time for a reaction, and it's difficult to sneak up on people?

Fix'd

I actually do like that more than my post.
