Brink First Impression

I preordere the game, got a message it was ready yesterday. Then i found out i couldn't even play it becuz steam won't activate. So i went and downloaded it before i buy it. Keep in mind i only played AI, played ET for 5 years and played 4 years of COD after that (so i don't mind aiming down sight)


Likes:

- classystem
- objectivebased gameplay like in the old days
- hitmarkers (hoping for hitsounds in future)
- maps (only played 3)
- balance: love how they give engis weapon buffs

Dislike:
- guns : after 10 shots the recoil is ridiculous, unaimed shooting is like cod... only for close range, damage is too low
- SMART
- revives : takes way too long
- gibbing : takes too long , will be solved if guns get more damage



Overall a 'better than average' impression which i think/hope might turn out into a great game. If i hadn't played ET for so long, i'd simply love this game out of the box.
With a brinkPRO mod and some patching i think this will be as close as we can get to a 'new' ET. It's certainly better than ETQW or Wolfenstein



Because i see a future, i'm gonna pick up my preorder tomorrow.
As with every game i liked (cod4,et) everything is gonna depend on the mods

Frag-o-matic 9.0 // 6v6.et

I ve seen you.....dtk..
finally not biased brink is shit feedback. Thanks bring on friday!
also I like the fact recoil is bad after 10. I mean I like the idea of it atleast saves blasting like so many bullets in a clip at once It brings it more into the newer day games. I hope they bring some slight hitsounds to though. Not big TING TING TING like ET:P Just little noises like cod where you know you have hit them would do.

ONE DAY LEFT!:D
i don't know wether you played the game yet , but the recoil during the 10 first shots is 'normal' recoil, comparable to cod. After that it's like shooting a gun while getting tasered. This would mean bursting like counterstrike, but i hate that.
Parent
Nah I have to wait tomorrow(friday) :<
Parent
i downloaded it before i go and buy it ... in 1 hour ;). I suggest doing the same

I don't like advocating piracy but imo: Companies are whining about the piracy, but then they release a game in the US 3 days earlier for no valid reason. That gives hackers 3 days time to get a crack and anxious users 3 days to download it. It's their own fault if sales aren't as expected in europe.
Parent
How could u test it? Or did you play SP?
Parent
SP = MP but with bots, idiotic bots that is. But it at the very least gives you an idea of how the movement and gunhandling is
Parent
Okay, I might download it then so I can test it.

Thanks
Parent
why do you dislike the smart system?? ..

lol
when i was running trough the maps i had multiple occasions where i didn't 'look' high enough to make SMART get me on an obstacle. Then i had to go back and do it again, cuz as far as i know you can't climb it from stance (i might be wrong)

The other thing is the 'slide' where you run , then press crouch and you slide.
This reminds me too much of the dolphin dive in black ops. + i hate proners
Parent
ah well .. i think it's well done. mirror's edge is abit harder doing all this.
but ye, if you ain't seeing how high an obstacle is, you dont know if you'll make it.
but i guess you'll get the hang of it. the 'slide' is abit crappy. shud've been abit longer.
but it doesn't feel like proning. and well, there also alot of abilities to boost stuff.

let's wait for a pro mod, tho .. i think this game could replace et if the pro mod is
done very well.

have you actually played all the challenges? ..
Parent
no i havn't, that's why it's a 'First Impression' ;)

The problem with the promod is that it will all depend on what SplashDamage gives the modders to work with. Black Ops could have been great too , but the promised SDK has not been released, and we're 6 months+ from release date.

releasing the entire code like what happened with ET won't be the case with brink , i think/fear.
Parent
ah I am one of those proning dudes in cod. haha soon as I get shot I just lie on the ground :D
Parent
he hates you
Parent
I know, But its just what im used to prone and start aiming/spraying.
Parent
I most likely hate you ingame , yes sir :D
Parent
Ik heb het spel dinsdag gaan kopen en had hetzelfde voor als jij.
Volgens mij wordt da spel echt nogwel nice, als er een fatsoenlijke Mod uitkomt :)
kbent juist gaan hale in de gm se. Da zal vanaf dezenacht dan wel activeren zekerst ?
