ok... Wait, WHAT? : Othor Games

I am a head shot killer in most games.
I just love having to see a headshot rather than a normal kill, I love melee kills even more.
BUT with that said, I don't mind a no OHK. That's fine by me, as long as I have a good time it's all good.

I've been extremely patient in waiting for Brink. In fact, I've been waiting for something from Splash Damage since forever, because they are one of my favorite developers. I hadn't yet heard a single piece of news I did not like about this game until I had a conversation about Brink with a friend, and he said "So I heard bullets won't 1 hit kill, not even to the head". My heart sank, but then I recovered and laughed it off "haha no, they would never do that"... But he seemed so bloody insistent on it, and so my heart sank again. And now I've been relentlessly trying to find info on this but can't find ANYTHING.

I haven't had a good FPS to play since the first Modern Warfare, which I only played super casually because of Last Stand and Martyrdom and other stupid perks that you couldn't get rid of, even in Hard Core (I wouldn't mind something like that in a game that doesn't try to be realistic)

But I will be brutally displeased with Brink if it defies the first law of shooters (a bullet to the head always kills) - it would be a humongous fat deal breaker for me. Please tell me it aint so??? :sad:

How can they be one of your favorite developers if you have never played a game of them before? All of their games didn't have one shot kill headshots. It took always at least 2 on a full health target. That way people who have good aim and skill (as in can keep the crosshair on someone's head) get rewarded.

OHK's are not an obligatory inclusion in shooters, and I'm glad SD sees it this way.

OP: It probably won't matter at all. If you don't want to buy the game, then don't. It's very simple.

I think Squirrel got it covered.

I just want to say,why do you think when you take a new mission/objective in game you and your teamates hear you calling what you are about to do?

I think we still have a long,very long way to really learn to play as a team,with strategy and purpose,i mean the purpose is not only to kill the opossite,not for me at least.

As i see it if you read/hear every Dev interview out there you know this is a new genre of FPS,or a try at least.

More on the point is exactly that: one shot kills create camping in other FPS,no?
It's simple thinking for me.On top of that they give us another reason...more xp if we help teamates by heal/buff them etc. rather than selfishly killing everything we see.

Headshots arent OHK in CoD either (except for snipers) unless your in hardcoe... This guy doesnt even know what he likes...

» Sun Sep 19, 2010 9:14 am

When people post topics like this cant just let the thread die. I've seen these topics forever. It's been discussed countless times.

» Sun Sep 19, 2010 7:23 pm

I personally dont like this either... i mean a bolt action rifle without OHK's is kinda dissapointing(spell fail :S).... But since they have said they are going to take FPS's to the next level (strategic and all that stuff) i have my faith in them

:grad: yes they are, you just svck at headshots. proabably a console kid who does not even know how to play an FPS on the pc. i play on360 but i am saving up for a gaming computer.

this kid at the OP has to remember that before CoD, there were nearly no shooters with OHK headshots. they do more damage, but not OHK. he does not know what he is talking about.

You INVENTED that Wraith?!?!

I can understand you not realising about grenades, but FLANKING?

Who else would invent something THAT awesome?

_{Oh yeah... me... (not that I DID. Just that I WOULD have if I came first)}

Sorry for thread highjacking, i don't want to open a new one for this:

I have no problems with weak head shots, but watching the long E3 Video i also just found out one disturbing fact: SUPER FAST AUTOHEAL?? Never have seen this before. Is this true?

No they are not. Find a camper and put one shot into his head. He won't die.

And in hardcoe literally everything is OHK. But then again CoD-hardcoe is for people who don't know what aiming and understanding the pros and cons of a weapon means.

I love how half the forums are now we want TDM we want OHK's ect, ect, People need to accept Brink as the wonderful game it is and not try to change it.

Thank you gentlemen. I only hope the OP, and anyone who thinks as he does, see what you see.

Good work herald.

You INVENTED that Wraith?!?!

Among many other things yes.

Um you must be mistaken this game has limited auto heal, must have been a friendly medic right behind the character. Health is done and pips. You can regan the last one as long as you don't lose the whole thing, anything else and you need a medic.

Ah the good ole days. Simpler times but Brink was much farther away then so I am glad it is the present.

This, most of the most annoying tactics in shooters (quick-scoping, drop-shotting) come from OHK's

Actually most of the annoying tactics in shooters come from flaws made by the developer. OHKs only make the flaws more noticeable.

What happens when Brink comes out and people still feel that they didn't get that "fair" chance to fight back? SD says they're going to take the community's feedback into account and change the game as needed, having both sides of every argument be vocal is what keeps the game the way it is.

» Sun Sep 19, 2010 9:28 am

What if you get banned without any time to respond?
What if the police say you broke the law and you dont get a jury trial and a chance to fight your case?
What if there were no ands ors or buts?
What if your father kick you out because he thought you were looking at the pormz on the internets?

I'd much rather not live in a OHK world...

I'm not so sure ..
MAG forums were being bombed by players who created an account to make a topic because they kept loosing or blaming it on a gameplay element. So the devs changed the gameplay literally EVERY month. It was ridiculous! I hope SplashDamage keeps their vision of the game in mind and won't listen too much to these crybabies

» Sun Sep 19, 2010 1:47 pm

if he ends up not getting this game because there isn't OHK's in the game then good for him that's one less person to play against that doesn't get what brink is trying to be...different. :sb:

This guy nailed it. Gj

Right, but what you didn't have is everybody that loved it the way it was in there screaming "I like it, don't touch it." and so the Devs listened to the vocal majority and changed it.

As it stands now there're already a lot of people thinking that a lack of OHKs means they aren't going to get suprise dead, that somehow this game is going to be all run and gun, strafe and spray, toe to toe combat, and when the game comes out and they get popped by the sniper and die (2 hits of course) they're going to be all over the place complaining that 2 hits is too few and that they need to nerf the light rifles and make the range on the SMGs longer so they can fight back, just like they did on the MAG forums.

If there's something that needs fixed fix it, if there's something that a group of people don't understand how to beat put out a tutorial.

Fine. Enjoy your tank game.

LOVE IS OVERRR SPLASH DAMAGE!!!

OK don't buy it....we don't need you. Go bad mouth another game.

» Sun Sep 19, 2010 12:59 pm

I've played enough WarRock to know exactly what tanky characters and free form movement gimmicks really entail. Although WarRock has it's share of problems (peer2peer system and easily hackable being some) it's pretty much shaping up to be mostly like that, design wise. The only thing you achieve by designing a game with more durable players is raise the amount of mistakes you can make without punishment, and make cheesy tactics proportionally more successful. Who here thinks they won't be cluster camping a choke point a month from now?

Me.

Which ties into my 20sec WAVE respawn.

It's going to happen. Great players will figure out ANY and ALL ways to beat any system. The setup for this game will cause what is stated above. Teamwork against teamwork I understand, but the superior team that can choke a point like that is going to rule the game.

Good thing I play with those type of players (who know how to CONTROL a MAP).....would hate to be on the other side of the deal.

» Mon Sep 20, 2010 1:26 am

BUT...the good side of this is that damage and health can all be fixed WITHOUT a patch needed to go through the hoops to get it to us.

NECVARS, I think they are called.
