Lack of character diversity?

Post » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:33 pm

Does the lack of class and/or body type diversity scare you? I was just watching a live stream and i got thinking, "Hey alot of people are going to be playing Light/Operative, probably on the resistance side!" I don't mind the faction side so much but i'd hate to join a game where each team has like 4 lights all trying to jump around trying to be a ninja... The Brink poll Wraith has even proves it, proves that most people are going to play Light/Operative, which would be incredibly annoying :( I know the chances are slim, having a team of 8 where half the team think they're all ninjas, but to use TF2 as an example you can see classes get stacked... Anyways this is for discussion i guess, i'm just waiting for the midnight unlock to arrive! :D

It doesn't mean anything later in the game, I mean.. Most people probably wont play what they think they will play now

I might get stuck on Heavy Soldier when I intend to try out a Medium Medic or a Medium Operative

being an operative can only do so much, thus leaving less medic's and more respawn time on them

I was actually thinking about this earlier today, and the ability system brings in a lot of diversity. I've heard people talking about going self-buff Heavy Medics, or even perhaps a resupply focused engineer. There's a great possibility for diversity in the abilities available, allowing a good amount of diversity and play-styles even in the same class/body combinations.

Hell, I personally am planning to go with a speed/stealth focused light medic so I can easily evade or get behind enemies and surprise them.
