the whole point of this thread was to actually help out people like yourself that would like team deathmatch as a mode and to let you see how popular the mode would be with other brink players. as you can see from the poll so far just 29 people have said they would play this mode and other modes and 51 people said they wouldn't ever play the mode. so do you still think that it would be a good mode for the developers to add to the game when roughly 2/3 of the brink players wouldn't even play it. do you think you would manage to fill servers with real players to play against or would you not be bothered about playing with bots in a deathmatch game. you have to remember that there is a lot of hardcoe brink fans that bought brink to get away from just deathmatch FPS that are everywhere these days. but there are very few games designed to focus on team work and objectives and this is what we all enjoy about brinks gameplay. your wasting your time trying to change our minds about it. and if you just want to kill then become a soldier and hold the front line for your team you dont need to do any objectives just help your team by killing the enemy and protecting them while they do complete the objectives i dont understand how this is not good enough for you. remember nobody is forcing you to play brink but done try and force a mode on us that has nothing to do with the whole structure of brink. as for other game modes that mean you play together as a team and support your team mates I'll happily play. i have never said i dont want new modes but just not team deathmatch on brink.

You my friend, have the best argument there is.
:)

A community split across too many playlists isn't really a community. It becomes fractured and weaker as a result. The irony of Brink is that it has inherent TDM as part of every objective. You either kill them and have a chance to complete or defend the objective or you let them kill you and have to try again.

Also, don't oversimplify the FPS genre. There is a huge difference between a game like Mass Effect and a traditional turn-based jRPG yet they both qualify as RPGs. No, games within the same genre are not for 'EVERYBODY to enjoy'. They fulfill specific interests and while you may love Forza or Gran Turismo you may hate Mario Kart. Likewise for every title in the FPS genre. To say that we all paid money only proves that you did zero research on Brink before you purchased it as SD made it very clear what type of FPS Brink was going to be before it was released.

No TDM or CTF, though I will take unique game modes that are suited for brink

But people would start demanding it,just like they already are right now,and they want more stats that are on the site(that I refuse to look at)already.

I would bet dollars to donuts that the same day that they would release TDM,someone would post up,"show our KDR in the stats".

First off ladies and Gents, BRINK IS already Team Death. There are 2 sided kickin' butt over an objective. As far as "Capture the Flag", we've got that, too. We attempt to capture and hold those stations. If these attributes became anymore obvious, it would be like every other FPS out there and that would svck to spend $60+ dollars for the same dang game with a different facade, you know, like most of what's out there now. Embrace the differences and complain about real matters that can actually be addressed, like our little internet issue. I STILL can't complete any of the challenges to advance my weaponry unless I do it alone, with all bots. THIS IS NOT WHY (NOR DID MOST PEOPLE) BUY A MULTIPLAYER CO-OP GAME.

*CAN WE PLEASE GET THIS STRAIGHTENED-OUT, ALREADY??? IT'S BEEN ALMOST A MONTH WITH MINIMAL PROGRESS AND THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. I MEAN, TALK ABOUT MAJOR FUBAR OR SNAFU.... I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHO DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE; THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE OUTCOME. As Eddie Murphy said it best in the movie Life, There's gonna be consequences and repercussions to this!

*Do you people even care how messed-up this is? The next chapter to Elder Scrolls is coming out soon and people will not forget this. I really wanted to play Skyrim, too, but not after this. PLEASE CHANGE MY MIND!!!

+1

what about something like Battlefield bad company where you have tags(lifes) and objectives to capture and owning more makes your enemy team's tags deplete slowly its alot like star wars battlefront if you have ever played it

2 Points:

1. Because their implementing TDM will distract them from, or make less likely, the fixes the majority want to see. Bot AI, maps, modes such as CTF (TEAM & OBJECTIVE based) graphics issues and lobbies are all required first. I have no objection to the addition of TDM................as the 27th patch.

SD kept no secrets on the game from us, we KNEW TDM wouldn't be in Brink. A million games have a DM mode - please leave our game alone and go and play one. The game I bought, specifically because it didn't have TDM and KDR, has other priorities.

2. It won't work, Brink has been built from scratch to be something else. TDM + Brink would be horrible, splitting the already dwindling community and attracting negative attention and comments across the net. hardcoe TDM fans will be back to their favourite CoD inside a month and it would have been for nothing......See Point 1 and repeat.

As the majority of people seem to agree, my answer is also a resounding NO!

Although I would love to see some more balanced game modes (where both sides have the same objectives. Perhaps both teams have an MVP or a base to defend?), TDM has no place in Brink because Brink, for all it's faults, was very good at keeping the focus on winning, instead of killing.
I don't know why, but I consider Brink to be a more sophisticated kind of game with its objective based combat, and introducing TDM or, heaven forbid, DM, would hugely take away from that sophistication.

TDM already exists in this game. Just ignore the objectives and kill the other team WHAM problem solved!!!!!



On that note playing the definsive side 85% of the time is TDM anway.
And the offensive side is TDM with a few twists. Let me explain

"GONNA SAVE THIS GUY by killing the other team so he can make it"
"GONNA BLOW UP THIS DOOR and kill the other team so they dont stop it"
"GONNA ESCORT THIS BOT by killing the other team so they dont stop him"
or
"IMA HACK THIS BOX" says your friend
"I GOT YOUR BACK BROSEF" you reply and proceed to kill the other team

This ENTIRE game is a twist of TDM so deal with it.

1/3 of players would actually be kinda good considering treyarch made over ten gamemodes and 2/3 of people play tdm which leaves 1/3 for all of the game modes
