I know one really good reason...
What are the others? ^^

He wouldn't be able to handle the epicness of tapirs. :celebration:

But we got turtles and owles here. :turtle: :spotted owl:

I love the fact that SD has tapirs as "mascotte".

I'm going to eschew any attempt to be polite here, and just be as blunt as possible in saying that an extra five seconds in the time it takes to respawn is an incredibly stupid reason to not buy a game that has so many other qualities that offset something so trivial. Besides, everyone is subject to the same wait time, so it makes absolutely no difference.

How can anyone not love tapirs I mean just look at them.

With all the negative comments to the OP i'm surprised the Moderators haven't locked this yet. They've locked other threads for less serious talk. Maybe they think we are right... :whistling:

Depends on when you tap out or getted killed after being incapacitated. It's a timer that counts down and with some bad luck you have to wait for the entire countdown, with some luck you respawn after a second.
When you're incapacitated you can wait for a medic or tap out. I usually wait for a medic and tap out 1 sec before the timer reaches 0. That way I give medics the chance to revive me or getting in the fight asap.

I lol'ed so hard when i saw this thread. I top my hat off to all you guys that really showed this CoD fanatic what Brink is all about and how CoD is not a great game by any means. I really cant add anything to this because everyone already told him, whats up. I just want to say i totally agree with you guys lol. I hope other CoD [censored] read this and figure out we don't want these kids in our game. Then again, they are so brain washed by their CoD they have lost all sense of common knowledge and don't understand what a 'good' game is now a days!

Sad most kids these days think like this: 'Oh! a new FPS let's compare it to CoD, then try and make it like CoD!'

Right, but you have the option to tap out immediately if you want, so what is the issue? Besides, as already mentioned so many times in the thread, the medic's ability to revive incapacitated players would be useless if there were instant respawn.

Even if you choose to tap out immediately, you still have to wait the remaining respawn time.

CoD good...? -Leaves thread-

Selling games is a lot like politics. You don't get the majority of votes by being the best at anything, you do it by appealing to as many different groups as possible. Its impossible to make everyone happy. CoD attempts to get as many customers as possible by taking the old game that worked, and changing the things that people complained about then releasing a "new game". Most of the games should in fact be expansion packs, but there has only ever been one expansion pack in the entire series and that was for the first game.

Brink on the other hand is attempting to be the best possible objective based shooter that it can be. Your very first post said "that is why i play deathmatch". Brink is not intended to appeal to deathmatch players. So, while your complaints may be representative of that group of players, they hold very little value as criticism.

I personally welcome criticism and discussion in any form, but a key part of criticism is backing up your reasoning. You would have been better off to say "I want a deathmatch mode with no respawn timers", and would have probably have made more sense and thus been flamed less.

P.S. Criticism should generally be as non-offensive as possible, you have not attempted to be non-offensive at all. What you have said is more akin to complaining than criticizing.

That's funny, I feel the same way about cookie-cutter FPSs like CoD. We don't need another clone of that, either.

Your concerns have already been addressed anyway. Having high standards is one thing, complaining about something that is essentially unimportant in the grand scheme of the game is another. If you're so worried about something so ridiculous, then do yourself a favor and cancel your order now, because I don't think (keeping in mind I can only speak definitively for myself) that most of the people who are interested in this game aren't going to want to play with someone who's whining the entire time that the game isn't as good or isn't similar enough to CoD. Just sayin'.

This is why I thought the discussion would be best conducted on the Developer's forum, it's directed at them not the publisher, and he would be best answered there as well, good chance a dev would pop in on the thread at one point

@ OP

Yeah uh, I'd just like to point out a few things here:

1) Not all CoD servers have instant respawning. That kind of kills your whole argument.
2) I feel sorry for you kid, I play Call of Duty: Black Ops everyday, just for fun. And you really make me look bad.


Brink isn't an FPS, its more than that. Technically, you can't give it a short abbreviation.
FPOMMS?
MMOFPS?
OMGWTFBBQ?!

I wouldn't know. We haven't even seen the real Beta product yet.
There could be more in the game than we expect to see in the first place.

-----------------------------

Anyway...
Not all Call of Duty players are [censored], just a high percentage of the hardcoe ones.

I see. Well, I still don't see a twenty second wait at max as being some kind of issue. That just means you have more time for a medic to arrive and revive you on the spot, rather than be spawned further back from the action. The delay will likely save you as much time as it eats, so, par for the course, Splash Damage has created a balance.

I think the OP pulled a rage quit.

Classic CoD players. :hubbahubba:

Most of the posts in response to this OP (who clearly has a hard-on for COD) have made me happy to see the future community of Brink and their appreciation for substance in an FPS game, yay Brink, and please DO cancel your pre-order OP lol

If I play COD again (I dont own it), don't be on my team, cause you svck at COD.

Also almost every mode in COD has a respawn timer I.e more modes have timers than modes that do not. So your argument is Invalid.

And don't play BRINK, go somewhere else, we don't want you. :flamethrower:

Got the burn has been intense.
I do understand many people here are right and well within their means to tell him to [censored] off but the truth stands that no matter how much he threatens or we threaten the people giving explanations and not even insulting either game have given the best examples as to why this game is not cod and why it will be better in many ways for a small sacrifice.

1. This is Objective based not kill based.
2. Being scared of dying is the essential to any game with a proper reward punishment system. (Read about the psychology of gaming or play WOW)
3. You have a chance for an insta-spawn every 20 seconds any way.
4. You shouldn't be dying that much even in COD.
5. Medics and others classes are based around this system.
6. Your view is not fact and you should learn the difference before you get shut down in public.
7. Most COD players here hate you and your views.
8. A new game that is not COD is meant to be not COD otherwise they would have made COD.
9. COD players have pointed out that most of the game you claim BRINK should learn from has Spawn Timers.
10. Quality over Quantity.
11. You shouldn't severely doubt a company with successful gaming ventures in the past would essentially plan something that in your view will make $0 profit and bankrupt the company.
12. You do not represent the larger community because we are all here saying no we would like a timer.
13. You are [censored] at COD and will most likely be [censored] at this if you plan on dying so easily.
14. Suggesting stuff and starting a vote and pushing for a certain aspect to be made in the game is good. Demanding it, claiming you're totally right and not backing yourself up, telling them to change a minor thing that will seriously affect the gameplay and therefore sales with the consequence of one person (you) not buying it is not an affective tactic.
15. This has worked for the past 10 years of FPS gaming and you think its gonna fail the company now because one game has one mode out of like 12 that doens't have timers? BTW the sales figures are for the people who played MW and wanted the story then they got disappointed and alot dont play anymore.
16. The best way to be close to the action is to wait for the 1-16 medics to see you down and throw you an injection. Which is damn near quick anyway.
17. To win this game you need to capture objectives not kill and having insta-respawns means hardly any objectives will be captured.
18. BRINK community doesn't want your type of players. IF COD didn't want BRINK type players then that is totally fine.
19. COD players are not the only gamers in existence and saying that if COD players dont like it then they wont make ANY money is so stupid. Even if you said the wont make as much money that may be true but atleast they'd be different and not bomb like all the other COD rip-offs nowadays. Plus the majority of COD players play with Respawn times so they wont give a [censored]. So even if your statement was true we are still gonna make money.
20. Cinematic Trailers do not equal gameplay and if you didn't know that then you are new to gaming which is not surprising. Learn from others experience and you'll get better. AT LIFE.
21. Calm down when playing a game and realise that the rest of the world makes you wait for things and the majority of games do it because then you have a punishment and a reward system just like life. Anyone who is obsessed or really enjoys this setup is either someone with very little time or has no sense of real achievement.
22. Criticism is only good when its constructive and what you are suggesting is destructive biased and unfounded.
23-

Oh god i give up. The list is too long if anyone would continue in numerical form while i have a breather it would be great.

+1
Lol awesome, that is like 22 :flamethrower: and all have a point/are valid :celebration:

Oh but it is 1-8 medics, not 1-16 (Only 8 people per side)

Holy carp you must be this new generation of CoD bred gamers... Really, really, sad how bad kids are now a days and have no idea what a skilled game is.

I am going to say this once (I'm new to the forums first post :thumbsup: I'm coming from the MLG community) CoD is absolute complete and total trash of a FPS.

I just want to thank all the contributers to this thread, I needed a good laugh today and this did it Thanks!

i thought this thread was over when i finished with a " YOU. GOT. BRINKED." and saying anything more to the OP is useless, that jerk.off left two pages ago, i say we close this thread and sticky it, also, rename it to "WHO WE DONT WANT" and this thread contains the words of a mutated form of cod fan [censored], we should look for a way to prevent it from happining to others, it might spread.
