Brink scripting

So basically they're giving an upper hand to everyone who owns a mouse with a DPI switch.
Oh well, in hopes of a promod fixing this.

It helps with the rifles when you use a scope, but yeah, I haven't practically ever used the iron sights on SMGs or assault rifles. They have like less spread and recoil when shot from the hip than with iron sights :-)

Seems to be cheat locked - it's not changeable in-game and setting it in the main menu is in vain as it resets upon starting a game.

The general gameplay is fine IMO. The game offers you all the keys you need for succesfull skill-based teamplay, the objectives are nice (although some maps need competitive versions to be made of them, a couple of them are too easy to defend and some chokepoints could be removed etc) and the map designs generally work out, even though they seem a bit complicated the first time you play them.

There's many things that could be polished to make the game more competitive though. I don't think there's any way to selfkill at the moment bar throwing a grenade at your feet, so I think an option for that should be added. There is a /kill command which should do what it says on the tin, but it's cheat protected. There are dozens of weapons and your weapon choices aren't restricted by your class, but by your body type (heavy, medium, light). This has it's ups and downs, but I think the weapon selection ought to be simplified for competitive play.

The body type can only be changed when you are not in a game, so I think that needs to be looked in to too - only heavy body types can use heavy weapons such as miniguns and various grenade launchers, but the heavy body type is very situational (the movement is very restricted when you play a heavy, you basically can't do ~any of the SMART movement stuff) and in competitive play it will probably prove itself useless compared to the medium or light body type seeing that you cannot switch them mid-game. In other words, body types should be changeable at command posts I think.

The largest issue I think is the objective interaction. It is generally very consolized, so to speak. For instance, the engineer objectives are completed by going near the designated objective and holding down the interaction button F. This makes you simply glued to the objective, your camera is locked onto it and you cannot look around you. You can move around it in an extremely static arc and sometimes crouch, but that is about it. There is a "perk" for this which enables a 3rd person view when commencing objectives, this allows you to look around, however you cannot move when you have this. This, however, only goes for most of the objectives. The hacking -type objectives allow you to freely move around the objective as long as you stay within a 15m radius and have the hacking device active all the time. I think all the objectives should work similiarly to the hacking.

So basically, it has what it takes to be a competitive game, but I think a promod should be introduced if further cups are to be held. Much like with ET - etmain had it's quirks, etpro made it good.

PS: As said, overall gameplay is good. The weapon recoil and spread is much less than I expected and feared. Because of the high rate of fire it's best to shoot in short and frequent bursts (clicking all the time), but the general feeling of the hip-fire isn't too far from what ET had. Every gun has the RoF of the FG42, though, so I would guess it's actually closer to RtCW in that aspect. It is completely playable without ever touching the iron sights - I haven't really used them even once as I find the recoil and spread to actually be smaller when firing from the hip. Also, the movement system is fine-ish. It feels a bit sluggy and clumsy at first, but as you get used to it, you kinda start to like it. Of course it's not the same as ETs trickjumping, but it is a formidable replacement.

Brink supports raw input, so yes.
