Quakewars looked fun and interesting as well and was a pain to play. I'll still wait until some half decent ET players test it. After buying ETQW and Wolf, another fail buy would probably kill me!

It looks pretty fun. People just have to keep in mind it isn't going to be like ET.

imo this looks pretty simular to ET, just in a new jacket.

Looks nothing like ET. Wait for the "BrinkPro" mod to come out before we say anything like that imo! Looks a LOT more like TF2 (which I don't mind personally) even the maps look very "TF2esque"

The biggest thing they have to sort out first though are the bloody models!! Who the fuck was on what team last night!!? The only thing people in the brinktv channel could say to me was "They don't have their name drawn above there head like your teammates do so you know who to shoot" :D

stopwatch mode, 5v5, different classes(medic/soldier=fops/covert/engee), different objectives (escort things, blow things up, docruns). Why would you say it doesn't look like ET?
Parent

Owzo 11 May 2011, 10:49
Because that's the same in TF2 my friend :)

EDiT: That's the same for a lot of games now if you think about it :)

I only played ET, CS and COD, so for me it looks a lot like ET :p

Well, TF2 does have objectives but they're not the same as in ET. In TF2 there's just one "type" of objective per map, such as escort this bomb wagon from place A to place B or steal the enemy flag. In ET and Brink the objectives are combinations of those, having multiple stages involving several different tasks from escorting to blowing stuff up to docrunning.

I can't think of any (popular) shooters out there with an objective system similiar to ET.

Yea I was discussing this last night with a couple of people and yes there are elements of ET (there is a crane to build on one map to transport the "bot" over the water for example) but in terms of what it looks like etc etc. It looks a lot more like TF2. The maps look slightly cool as well so in all honesty I'm looking forward to it now :)

Yeah, I agree, the graphic style looks kinda like TF2 at least.. Dunno about the combat/gameplay but at least I enjoyed TF2's gameplay, so even if it's close to that it ought to be decent.

Gonna buy it on Friday to see for myself.

Yea indeed, TF2 is a class game to be honest, love it. Just watching the stream last night didn't give you any form of like "feel" for the game because (at least at the moment or they just don't know how to) you can't spec anything in first person! So we couldn't see how the guys were doing anything on stream and they weren't describing it or giving any real detail as I said so fingers crossed it's good enough for me to steam around like an absoloute beast :D

Jo, ich wird halt wie gesagt mal schauen, wenn es erste ernsthafte Spiele gegeben hat. Nur weil es lustig ausschaut, heißt es ja nicht, dass es sich auch gut spielt. Drago oder so kriegens ja sicher bald schon

I wwas saying something like this last night, don't know if you watched the stream but because they did it on the release date, literally nobody that was on the stream had any real idea of how to play the game... So they were still finding out loads of stuff just to go spectator and the like!

I said last night that maybe they should have done the show next week / Sunday time so that at least all of us can test it too and then at least everyone can get a reasonably good idea of what's actually happening. On the stream last night they weren't even explaining or describing how it feels to play so it was pretty annoying beacuse yea I could see what was happening 3rd person but no idea how they felt while watching / playing it!! :D

and still etqw > wolfenstein+this together. etqw wasn't half bad when teams actually started to get better at applying tactics and realised the use of vehicles was limited (and not as easy) on competitive maps. The thing i didn't like about et:qw was the setting and the weapons. I think you are just on the look for a newer copy of rtcw/et. and who wouldn't agree on this site (including me)

I'm not entirely looking for an ET or RtCW copy, not at all. What I'm looking for is a game suitable for serious competetive gameplay and that includes balance and especially a smooth running engine with movement and shooting. And especially at the last part pretty much all of the newer games failed. I enjoyed CS 1.6, QL (also TDM) and also CoD2 eventhough I'm pretty much terrible in most of the games (probably at any game by now :-D)

And I have to agree that ETQW was fun at some stages, atleast with the few latest patches and mods. The vanilla version was really bad though, still better than Wolfenstein MP :-)

I'll just lean back and see what's happening

Splash admitted yesterday in an interview with machinima that it was a clear pattern. Europe reviewers gave the game a higher grade than the American ones. When they looked into why this might've been. They found out 9/10 American reviewers had done their review based on a product which wasn't the final one (as the "release patch" was released too late in the US, Europe got it in time though).

It's obviously in the hands of SD and Beth to make sure this wouldn't happen but it did. So some of the reviews could be explained with this (and the fact most US reviewers don't seem to care much of MP other than co-op and playing bots, which we all know ain't what we will do).

pewpew..

And Joystiq's review was solely based on 2 hours of playtime in a press conference.
Parent

HugTheSub 11 May 2011, 13:43
well the 2hours you need to finish brink do bring up a lot of questions.
for example:
why is the sidearm sooo much better than the primary weapon?
why does it take so long to gib enemies? the revive is absolutely OP.
why does strafe lower the acc so much? wasnt this supposed to be a fast game?
why do the weapons paint a frame of bulletholes around the enemy as soon as you shoot more than 3 bullets (a lot worse spray than cod).
why do i have to change my profile (including EVERYTHING unlocked, setup and stuff) in order to change team? [i think you actually dont have too, my bad]
why cant i change my bodytype w/o disconnecting from the game?

and many, many more

e: why are there no hitsounds? not even cod alike?
and lets hope that the "no more pack stacking" counteracts the lame turrest and god man mines in terms of "deffability"
what are these challenges for? there is only a hand full so i dont really see that making sense tbh...
Why can you use ironsights if they dont do anything?
