I also like the look of "the bug" for security so nvm I like both

Ever since I saw my first Brink video, where the Bug drops a crane on the Sweat and gets stabbed by the Anger, I've kinda grown attached to him haha. Good to see him gettin' love as the forum BG.

Viva la Resistance!

I'll be playing both, for sure. It's just seeing screenshots and watching videos, I :drool: more over Security

Yes! Join the security comrade!

Wait, comrade is somthing a resistance fighter would say, resistance reminds me alot of ww2 era russia.

Edit: actually i should say resistance reminds me of the U.S.S.R aka the soviet union aka soviet russia aka russia aka the mother land aka "the communists".

Also they remind me of latin american gureilla fighters.

Security.

Let's assume that the rest of the world is gone, and that the Ark is all that's left. It doesn't have the space / ability to adequately take care of the "Founders" and the refugees who flocked to it after the flood. Somebody has to get shafted here. Sure, it'd be nice if everyone could put the "Well, I was here first!" blah blah, etc. etc. attitude away and share what they have equally, but Utopian ideas don't work in the best of times, they sound nice on paper but never survive once you add the human element in. So expecting everyone to play nice and leave their greediness at the door (Which we seem to teach our kids is a good thing, anyway.) after it's been ingrained in them... :shrug:

It's really an "Do the ends justify the means?" thing. And I think they do, (AFAIK) the "Founders" are the de facto leaders of the Ark, and leader's can't deal in ideals like the Resistance do. I feel like the Security looks at the bigger picture, extreme situations call for an extreme response. Sometimes, good people just need to be shot in the head. Again assuming that the Ark is the last bastion of humanity, it's more than just everyone being treated fairly and equally, it's the survival of our species. They can't let them go look for more people, because they need them to help keep the Ark afloat now. It's easy to say in my house, with lots of food to eat and things to drink, in my nice comfy chair, but I think they're doing the best they can with the situation they have.

But that's just the way I look at it. Would I feel the same if I was living in the slums in the Ark? Of course not, but that's because it'd be personal then. From here I can think about what both sides are doing without being emotionally involved. Instead of dealing with people, I can deal with numbers.

We know the resistance is gonna get shutdown.....you should of been here a long time ago the rivalry was more alive.

Security are just complacent zombies, the founder's fists, if you will.

I disagree. I think they have their own vested interest in maintaining order on the Ark.

Ahh, they've bought in to the anti-Resistance propaganda.

It's not purely "propaganda" until we know for sure if there really are enough resources to sustain everyone equally. The idea that there is hoarding on the part of the founders/security is pure speculation.

maybe the resistance has bought in to the anti-Security propaganda....

Why would there be propaganda supporting the terrorists?


Well, the conditions the resistance live in compaired to the conditions the founders live in must be pretty bloody different if the resistance has decided to take up arms.

Yea!

The resistance leaders can feed the public propaganda to ya know

So you actually consider "your" faction terrorists?



And when they're done swinging their metal fist around the place, everyone will live under the same terrible conditions, or worse. Great deal.

No, I was speaking from the point of view of the Security, there. they are not "my" team, however. Everyone is in the wrong as far as I'm concerned.

Why will everyone live in bad conditions? Everyone would chip in to restore the Ark to former glory, I would imagine, or what's the point in doing it anyway?




yeah but it would be based on ideology, not desperately trying to get everyone to turn on the security for their own safety. How do we know the Resistance even have leadership?

Hey, what is this!? Where my Resistance homies at?

The ARK simply does not work while housing 50.000 people.

Well there must be be SOME kind of leader, or there could be the founders secretly conrtrolling the resistance as well as the security.

The idea isnt that everythings gonna be awsome caviar filled fun for everyone, the resistance goal is to create a sustainable(irony?)future for everyone, and expose the inner workings of the ark to see if how much food/water/resources are around

Maybe everyone dies in the end and the world crumbles and the sun goes supernova. Problem solved!

Not such a great ending. :unsure: I'd prefer more like (if you did resistance campaign) you steal a boat and go to the mainland and find a small city.

Or you find a huge city!

Nah. World was supposed to be pretty messed up. Huge city won't make sense...........

Maybe a floating city hmy:
