I'm not going to commit to BH or SMI until I know all my other options. If I design a DCUP and find that I can either take BH or I can take a useful class abilitiy I'm going class ability.

Absolutely I want Battle Hardened and the extra supply pip. But other than those, I am not overly excited by the other choices. Probably the watch-your-back ability and reload while sprinting. And when playing soldier you might want the ability to shoot grenades. But these aren't as clear choices as the first two.

I don't like the way revives work. As much as people complain about Rambo Medics, they provide a valuable service. Staying out of the fight gets other teammates killed. I'm just worried that people will refuse to revive themselves in the middle of a firefight to preserve their K/D. Hopefully that kind of player won't be attracted to Brink though.

There is no way besides pen and paper to keep track of KD in brink. Medics get XP even if they don't revive which makes no sense since they would have to respawn anyway.

That kind of player isn't going to succeed in Brink. The developers designed the game that way to reward selfless teamwork. People who play this game like a traditional COD game are going to fail to spectacular effect, they are going to ragequit, post angry hateful reviews of the game wherever they frequent online, and go back to their other games. And I don't get to play with them anymore. I find that trade more than acceptable; it's a bargain, actually.

If someone is worried about their K/D ratio, play a game where that matters. It doesn't matter in Brink. And I personally wouldn't want to play with the tryhard anyway. I'm here to have fun. So is Splash Damage. That is why I appreciate what they are doing so much.

KD only matter in TDM which Brink doesn't have nuff said. :spotted owl:
