Weird Idea

i think IF you had a disguise bonus you should have it for the Op's only considering that's their job n all , maybe a health bonus or a melee bonus for one hit melee's? assassination style yah? :ninja:


No OHK's backstabs its been confirmed :cryvaultboy:

i know i heard but it'd be neat, if your an OP and you disguise yourself then you get a OHK knife or something, i think it'd make people wanna be OP's more though n you ninjas n us assassins don't need that at all. 8v8 ninja smack down.

I see where you're coming from.

However, those people will simply play Soldiers, so they have infinite ammo. Or medics, so they can heal and revive themselves every now and then.


yeah, you're right. But IF that ability was in the game I could see a lot of operatives going only for kills.

But in the end doesn't that teach tactical play (at least by the "reward" logic the developers are using)? If you get a reward for killing a particular type you learn to kill that type, and we most definitely want people to learn to drop the medic first if you can :)

If there are too many operatives on both sides it will equal out because operatives can see other disguised operatives. If people were going for just straight kills they'll most likely attempt to camp as a soldier. I don't see how the operative is the "killer lone wolf" class, more like the "Computer operations lone wolf" because afaik operatives have no class abilities that help them kill/survive.
I would argue that disguising is not very useful in killing or surviving mainly because those few seconds you gain are useless due to of the amount of bullets it takes to kill.

I wonder if they might take this Fan-made ability into Consideration.
Its a long shot but damn that would be so awesome.. cause then people would say

'Damn i hate it when those Operatives use that ability'
I can say
'I helped create the idea :hubbahubba: '

:D :drool: just thinking about it.

perhaps, but I thought that Brink does not reward for killing, but mainly for completed objectives.

Since people will say that they hate that ability and you say I made it up, you will get hate mail. So that's what it means.

It wasn't very effective in Dark Messiah mutliplayer, that's for sure. Because your character would take a "playing death" position, instead of playing ragdoll-style dead.

And I doubt BRINK will make any difference there.

You get a little cookie for killing and a big cookie for doing an objective. Giving out the bonus for an Op taking a particular life (or disguise) is like putting frosting on the little cookie, sure it's still a little cookie but man does it taste good.

The people who hate the ability you put it (if you did). Hence the "You like hate mail don't you" because they would send it to you daily.

When your an Operative, and you disguise as an Medic, i think it would be a good idea to get a little bit of health regained.

If you take the Disguise of a Soldier, you get a bit more ammo. 1 Magazine for each weapon.
If you take the Disguise of a Engineer, you get a temporary Armor increase. Or a temporary Weapon Damage increase. Both very short.
If you take the Disguise of a Medic, you regain a little but of health. 10% of maximum health.
If you take the Disguise of a Operative, you gain nothing.

A Good Reason made by Wraith:
"One of the points of being an operative is sneaking behind enemy lines. Where its unlikely your team will be able to assist you"

'Sneaky Scavenger' Available at Level 5? Tell me what level this should be to make it more balanced.
"Take Equipment off dead bodies every time you disguise."

Italics are my thoughts to make this 'ability' less Overpowered.

Give me your Thoughts on this. So far people seem to dis-like the idea and i can see why. Personally i would like to see a similar ability as we've been discussing for operatives.

No, why not. Being disguised requires a certain amount of skill and it's not soo easy to deal with a good disguised enemy. On the other hand, the majority of players svcks at being incognito and will fail.

Just watched the "A Matter of Class" trailer (again), and recognised, at 1:17 you'll see that disguising as an enemy will apparently make you pick up his weapon as well.

It rewards less for killing, and more for team play.


"You get a little cookie for killing and a big cookie for doing an objective. Giving out the bonus for an Op taking a particular life (or disguise) is like putting frosting on the little cookie, sure it's still a little cookie but man does it taste good."

Nice description. But making that cookie taste that good would make most operatives go only for that cookie instead of hacking turrets or spotting mines, etc.

Thats the risk for going behind enemy lines... No one being able to help you.

So I dont see it being there, you could just rambo it, picking up enemy classes when needed, and when available..

If you cant sneak around while looking like the enemy, then you shouldn't be an operative.
