Brink Achievements and Trophies Revealed

[3Suns]

If this is going devolve into a thread about politics, keep it civil. I’m sick of having my threads closed (Handheld Ports --> Art --> Closed.)

LOL Cheers, Herandar!

Seyu, let’s get the PMing going again.

And the Achievements are great, by the way. Love the movie quotes like “Great shot kid, that was one in a million”. I can hear Harrison Ford saying it in my head.

Totally read “You Shall Not Pass!” as Ian McKellen and his giant prosthetic nose.

I’m always civil when it comes to politics, unless we’re talking about the Judean People’s Front. (Splitters!)

Right, the People’s Front of Judea is the true calling.

But if there’s a capture type situation… like bc2’s conquest. Then everyone is always attacking.

But there isn’t, even the command posts are secondary and aren’t required to win, they just help you win. You could play the entire map just defending the main objectives and never attacking anything and still win.

I’m not sure if you were comparing the main mode or the fact that there are other objectives which do lend an attack/defend variety for both sides (not just command posts, but blowing secondary avenues of attack and then closing them back up again), or you were thinking the main game mode is similar to conquest. If you were then the right comparison is BC2 Rush with extra richness all over it, it’s nothing like Conquest.

Some guy here once answered a question about why he would want a Death Match mode with his own question which was: “What, I should play Brink for it’s objective mode then?” (as opposed to some other reason, like SMART), and this was the inspiration for the articles referenced in my sig. If anyone doesn’t understand the way SD objective mode works I would not so humbly point them to that link

And the Judean Popular People’s Front! Splitters!

Cankor, thanks for highlighting that article. I really enjoyed your article on SD innovations, but somehow I missed the other two. Having never played the other SD games, it is very useful to get some background. Great stuff! Will share the links with my friends.
:stroggtapir:

And Herandar, Ian McKellen, absolutely.

You’ve never played an ET game?

You’ve never played an ET game?

It’s not exactly hard to do. PC gaming has been dead for years, you know.

[3Suns]

I haven’t. Played some RTCW when it was first released. Great game, but then I couldn’t play PC games for a while. Now, it is too hard to go backwards. If the games are qualitatively different (e.g., old arcade games like Robotron or even the 2D platformers) then no problem. Otherwise, visually, it is just too dated. I can’t do it.

And, for better or for worse, with the exception of a little TF2 with my students in the computer lab, I don’t play games on the PC.

what is a what if mission

[Herandar]

what is a what if mission

A mission whose premise and/or story doesn’t fit into the canon storyline as decided by the game’s writer(s). I wonder if they are locked until the main story missions are completed? I know that we are supposed to be able to play any story mission in any order the first time we play the game.
