No. Enough people are already going to think Operative = Assassin.

No and just no. There is the operative. BTW I am already an assassin, I don't need a class to be one.

True

Nope, don't need that. Assassins are not team players, lol. They are lone wolves.

In Brink each class is a collection of tools, there is definitely a class that, when mixed with certain weapons and body types, will provide you with enough tools to play along those lines, and possibly more than one class depending on what you need.

Exactly. We already have work to do in disproving this mindset -- to add an official class would only encourage wanton selfishness.

Let's see... 23 days left until release... Yup, let's add a whole new class to the game!!!

Oh wait, the new class is... an Assassin class... overdone. Never mind.

It right up there with the sniper class and GL class.

I haven't heard of a GL class? Lol

Anyways, Assassins are lone wolves, and this game is about teamwork. Besides I'd rather have a spy(operative) as a teammate, providing battlefield intel and mindf***ing the enemy rather than an assassin type character just taking people out left and right and providing no real help to the team.

Unless they hunt specific people that are deterimental to your teams success. Like well placed engineers and those pesky medics. Honestly a good operative should be both assassin and spy.

Edit. Someone will ask for the GL class, mark my words.

Yeah but then again you could always have an Operative disguise and sneak behind them. Even though that makes operatives seem like assassins, that's not their focus. Well I mean except you, The Wraith can be an assassin even if he's a medic.

Next thing we know someone will ask for Mages.

So I was thinking.. How about we add Archers? Since Brink is supporting team work and all, they could use there bows and pin guys to the ground!

They should also be able to one shot kill a buffed heavy, because its only fair. Guns are overrated anyway. :rolleyes:

I think we should offically declare asking for new stuff on the forums "Over". The game is close to 20 days away now, lets face it, their not adding anything.

I think being an assassin would require one of your teammates to say where a high value target enemy is. and you going in with a silenced weapon and taking him out.

What about an assassin class?

:rofl:

When I saw this I almost wet myself.
Operative is close enough, and guys like Wraith are already Assassins. So we don't need a class that would unbalance the game.

Good communication = dead enemies

Sure, an assassin class would be great. But Operative fills in for that here.

Seems four is a good number of classes.

Also, what objectives could an assassin possibly have besides kill...
Stupid, stupid idea...

What makes a kill objective any different than the medics revive objective? He's trying to move an NPC across the map, and an assassin isn't going to let him. A theft an objective countered with an elimination objective.

Again, I don't think they need a class for it, because the class is just a collection of tools to create a specific character anyways, but I see the usefullness in the role. After all, what is a counter operative if not an Assassin?

Definitely. The Operative basically plays both roles.
