Brink ability preview on Facebook

(BioSnark) #101

I assume his point is inability to retaliate and ambiguity of attacker.

(LyndonL) #102

Doubt it. A message pops up saying who killed who. And it quite clearly screams out FRIENDLY FIRE when being shot by a team mate. Then search for the operatives. Tada.

(Humate) #103

Hmm interesting, I was correct about the remote control, controlling turrets. cough
If Caltrops is that that orange nade looking thing - where is the Homing Beacon?

(Ragoo) #104

Just one more reason why I don’t like to be an engineer :smiley:

(Kinjal) #105

You was right (i asked a devs)

“apparently they both get xp”

(BioSnark) #106

@humate: Possibly the wallhax parasite from natural selection discussed recently?
@LyndonL: As I said previously, I don’t think this is that much of a concern. However, you aren’t going to get an obituary message if you’re just getting bled.

Here is today’s ability.

Brink Ability Preview, Day 9: The Soldier’s Satchel Charge

Satchel Charges are remote control bombs plantable on any flat surface. You can place up to 3 and detonate them simultaneously.

(Singh400) #108

[QUOTE=Kbrury;282031]Here is today’s ability.[/QUOTE]x3 soldiers on your team, find a nice bottleneck. Nice long corridor, load corridor with chagres. Enemy team walks in, boom. Spam/noob heaven.

(Chili Squirts) #109

I wonder how good the AoE is.

(Herandar) #110

Satchel Charge is rank 5. Won’t be any noobs in the rank 5 games, hopefully.

(Whydmer) #111

Noob is a state of mind that can be more enduring than any leveling/ranking system.

(Shackahn) #112

I wonder if you could attach them to other players when friendly fire is off and go Kamikaze

(Chili Squirts) #113

players aren’t flat surfaces are they…

(BioSnark) #114

cortex bomb sounds annoying enough.

presumably they can be blown up so it wouldn’t be hugely different from mines/3rd eyes and not etqw tactical misplants.

(Weeohhweeohh) #115

Look…haven’t we already confirmed that female models aren’t in game!

Edit: Sounded funnier in my head.

I approve of it

(crazyfoolish) #117

Yes this is true.

Also, you could possibly attach satchel charges to your teams Bot.

Here is today’s ability.

(LyndonL) #120

I could almost swear I looked at that last night from Humate’s link in the NEWS section :tongue:
