This is just an idea to make brink that tad bit better.

I was think of making more parkour challenges/Time trials that would use the maps in brink to creat a similer feel to that of the 'Parkour This' Challenge.

So in other words your making more 'Parkour This' challenges but you would only gain xp and a spot on the leaderboards.

Pros:
- Players can now get a better understading/use smart to its fullest potential.
- Players can use the routes in the challenge online so there in way looking for the fastest route from A to B.
-Can also help with practicing advanced S.M.A.R.T moves.

Cons:
-From the players behalf, none.

So those are my ideas and would really hope the Developers look at this idea and take it into account.

Thanks for Reading my post and please post your thoughts on this.

I would be all over that! There could also be death maps with sprints to key locations where you slug it out get through to the next room....teams running opposite circuits on the same map would be rad too....

In general any further development of parkour into more levels for play gets my support. Have you seen the footage of large "ships" flying into, out of, and around the sun?

Parkour This?

Nice to hear but Wait, what large ships, please post a link.

I'd support this idea, but not in a team mode. Solo time trials would be a blast. And I think would be a good way for people to practice some of the harder parkour moves.

Pick a map.

Player spawns, ALONE, on the map. There's a sequence of markers the player has to pass over, in any order they choose.

Times go on a scoreboard, as with the challenges.

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Basically Mirror's Edge 'Speed Runs'...

Why not have groups of gun-less players race each other through mine-strewn maps to objectives? No attacking, jus speed & skill & youd learn maps better.

You could also do it team mode, relay fashion. Player 1 parkours from A to B, Player 2 parkours from either B to A, or B to C. etc etc. The "relay" would be the parkouring player crossing over a footlight ala "Parkour This"

Yes!
I spent so many hours in the Speed Runs chasing ghost! I'd love to see something like that in Brink.

This is an excellent idea!

Easiest (for the devs) would to be to have both a solo mode, and a mode where you all race at once. No weapons, no melee attacks, but you can do sliding tackles Kind of like multiplayer stunt runs in burnout paradise.

the race would be like in Motorstorm....one track 3 routes( one for heavy, med, and light) designed to deliver racers to finish at same time...
heavy bottom route ....comms teminals for activating traps
med light parcours....most opportunity for gunplay
light high route...lots of opportunity to fall...but good snipage
racers can stop to operate gates turn on fans...flood sections...retract bridges...activate turrets....cause diversions but ultimately entire team must cross line to win race....
race is started by a synchronised opening of doors
teams race on their own track but the courses would have plenty of 'windows' to shoot at the opposition
racers only have pistols and flashbangs
also a hostage / bot escourt track
could be made parallell to story....teams racing to get a XXXXXXXXX before the enemy(insert dangerous in the wrong hands technology)
or
teams fighting cause peligo to start sinking and must race to the only available boat...bridge etc

This would be great as it could help teach players where their body types can and cannot go on each map. It would be as simple as adding a path with light checkpoints, like Parkour This!, for the existing maps. This would have to be a solo affair but with leaderboards you could compete for bragging rights too. Of course each body type would have its own separate leaderboard. The best part is that it would educate players about each map in addition to giving them a way to practice their S.M.A.R.T. skills.

I think this is a great idea..... It would help teach players the maps more and limit the number of choke points on the maps.....

yeah, i guess you could say that.

Yer you guys should do it

I tried 'Parkour This' challenge once beat the first part but haven't finished it yet, just got the game yesterday. Still, the space seemed too cramped to be fun so i defineatly like this idea more. Racing trhough the Ark in time trial or against friends sounds fun.
