I haven't heard anything about these videos, but i remember that custom games, at least on the PC, will have spread modifiers that can be changed. So if you find the standard spreads too easy, you could make a more skilled room where spread is much larger.

Ay word on how much aim assist will be implemented in the console versions? Hope its minimal.

The EXPO-demos (PC + Gamepad) did have an aim-assist in their options-menu. It was scaleable, but seemed to work rather randomly (but only while using the sights).

I guess in that version it was separate for everyone. However, as said, it didn't seem to work all properly.Setting it to 100% made you have aimbot-like abilities at some times, but also no aim-assist at all at others.

I think setting different weapon spreads will be pretty annoying when joining rooms. A nice balanced spread where you can't snipe people across the map with a smg like in CoD and other games would be good.

aim-assist should not be in online play what so ever my opinion.

Sure, it'd just introduce a little bit of chaos into the game. I don't like this idea, definitely.

And btw, it's easier with larger spread - once you're aiming at a feet, you have greater chance for a headshot.



Hopefully it's way too bad idea to be seen on good PC game. I would not buy the game with build-in aimbot, there is no fun with stuff like that. Nothing with such functionality should be delivered with the game, because somebody can probably modify, or bug-use, Brink files wise enough, to make it aim for him when online as well. There should be rather some solutions making it harder to write an aimbot for the game. For example preventing SendInput() from being effective in emulating mouse input. And of course something disallowing - making it harder to obtain - other processes injecting, properly enough to work, any code into the game process. May be hard, but worth of effort, because we hate getting killed by somebody cheating - known problem with many games, that make you just exit and play something else, at least for a while.


I almost forgotten very important thing - fps must be stable at 60+. I expect to get considerably more frames sacrificing fancy look of shadows or other visual effects and quality. Meaning: unlike in ETQW, where it's hard to see the difference between highest and lowest settings(excluding change of anti-aliasing mode).

I think you confused recoil with spread regarding the aim at feet for easier headshot.

"aim-assist" is a console only feature
any weapon spread modifier would be server controlled, all players equal and likely PC only

As it should be.

You're right - it's usually more about recoil, but can describe huge spread as well.

The reason the AK-47 can be abused like that is because in most games, the recoil goes straight up, at least for the first few shots. It's recoil patterns that make guns easy to spray or not. Spread just makes the pattern bigger or smaller, the way I understand it. Take an AK that goes straight up for the first 4 shots, if you use a spread modifier of 2x, you would just have to aim twice as low to get a headshot when you normally would. Putting that modifier on another gun that wast so easy to spray would make it harder to get a headshot, not easier.

On second thought, I don't know if I like the idea of spread modifiers though. In most games, i get used to my gun of choice to the point where if i plan on using the kick of the recoil to get a 2nd or 3rd bodyshot, or even a headshot, I know where to aim without thinking about it. Changing the spread would mean that every time I change servers, I would have to get used to how low to aim when I fire. Might even have to change tactics if the spread increases too much to land the last shot in a burst, or decreases enough that I can burst for longer.

Exactly my point, overall, I find spread changing pretty dumb.
