Brink and competition

(OnceWasGreat) #21

[QUOTE=coolstory;353823]Before Brink came out lot of people were saying it’ll be the next big game for e-sports. The game was filled with great ideas and had (still has) potential to be amazing.

The dev’s should really focus on competitive players (pc and consoles). Why, cause they’ll be the ones that will be playing this game for a long time.
Also in the case of PC, with QL being dropped from IEM and CS starting to get old everyone is looking for a brand new fun competitive FPS game. I believe Brink could be it.

Brink needs these things to become really fun again

-Reduced spread (better gun play)
-Increased spawn timers for defense.
-Unlock more FPS related cvars (to boost fps and get rid of DOF etc)
-Option to turn off view and sound effects (sound going on and off/screen going dark, etc)
-Customizable HUD and crosshairs.
-Option to force enemy CLASS models (depending on bodtype)
-Unlock cvar to set sensitivity while zoomed.
-LAN support (if it doesnt have it)
-Manually use SMART.
-First person spectate
-Demo recording
-TV servers

Or release SDK.

If you don’t believe me, watch any of the brink scrims/matches that brink.tv casted. They were so fun to watch, even with 3rd person spectating. Adding the above will hopefully form a healthy competitive and pub community and lead to more sales for SD/Beth.[/QUOTE]

The good old suggestions that players are asking almost since release.

But hey, maybe if we continue to ask they will listen sooner or later! :wink:

Honestly brink feels kinda balanced what ruins the balance are the maps and gamemodes, if we had symetrical maps where both teams had to fight for the same objective, the map balance would not be a issue.

uhhh… stopwatch?

Pretty sure he means only manual smart (and not the hold shift crap).

Awesome post, coolstory, this is what needs to happen for Brink to have any kind of life in the fps scene. Especially the demorecording, hud/crosshair options, better gunplay, and first person spectate.

The one reservation I have is the increased spawn times. I know that it solves problems but it just means less time for people to play the game. It’s unfortunate that such a fix has to be made (unless there’s a better alternative?).
