I don’t think they are aiming for characters to “blend in,” meaning they want you to be able to see the enemy and be like, “there’s a bad guy!” I think they want to avoid people being shot by characters that blend into their surroundings…this isn’t Ghost Recon.

yeah, about seven very popular BDU painting with “Urban …”-prefix in title.
and “Urban Tiger” are about median-made.

Oh, I know, this is why they really shouldn’t give us those kind of options. Who in their right mind would make themselves more conspicuous when you can do the opposite?

Yes, but some of them aren’t much different than regular cammo and none look like the dazzle painting on ships which I think would be pretty effective. The US Military experimental urban cammo though looks like it would be effective.

You don’t need to hide if you have got the right skills. I guess I’ll choose whatever looks better. It’s the same in racing games. I refuse to choose a faster car when the other one is so much better looking as long as the balance doesn’t get completely screwed and I’m forced to switch.

You should read The Art of War then. 
Personally I’ll probably just play with the default outfit.

What I would like to see in Brink, in regards to character customization, is the ability to customize a female character. I’ve notice the game boasts a long list of customization to your character, but I feel as if you’re still limited because you’re only able to customize a male character.

You’re not alone on that one. However, female models won’t be present in Brink due to monetary and memory budget constraints. Last time this topic was brought up we ended up with a 10-or-so pages long thread filled with nothing but hate. 
Splash Damage devs have stated that female playermodels are something they’d like to see in a potential sequel though, so not all hope is lost. But as it stands right now the game is too far into development to make female player characters viable.
Also, welcome to the forums.

Lol, thanks. Yeah, I’ve notice that thread. It was 22 pages long. After reading through some stuff, I now understand why females were not put into the game, given the trade-offs of having female characters and amount of customizable options, I would rather have more options.
Maybe SD will add them into the game with a DLC, if they do, I just hope it doesn’t take too long. I might progress so far in the game that I probably wouldn’t want to use a female character anymore…

Yes, everything you ever wanted from a game will be put in the DLC later on. Don’t worry.

i ASSURE you, some paintings are tricky enough and fruit of many-years research and computing. and very effective in [practical]result.
dazzle camo ?
in modern days ?
while no subs operated on land actions and all subs have guided weaponry[even torpedoes and arty shells]?
no …ng way !!

Well, seeing how speed is affected by bodytype, maybe SMART should allow players to do more freerunning type maneuvers. Like wall running, or wall jumping.
To make these moves a little more exclusive, maybe only a slim bodytype Covert class can be the only person to do this…
I dunno, I was just thinking about what the SMART can actually do and thought of Mirror’s Edge…

Mirror’s Edge-alike ?
i not sure, this should be SO hardcore, cause game designed are to be moderately[16 players max, right ?]multiplayer.
for me, movement, shown in trailers, are enough. with more speed, maybe, like you suggest ?
how about ceiling-runing ? thats should be 6-th covert ops unlock[from about 20th].
but coverts with STRONG body type, can be tend to walk THRU walls, you know like they tend in real life

thought we had that discussion yesterday ^_*
«00:27:44» {apples} brink seems slow tho…
«00:30:06» {dohfOs} i’m le tired
«00:59:45» {DarkangelUK} oh jeez, this again
«01:09:16» {apples} its still slow
«01:10:19» {DarkangelUK} why would that be?
«01:11:31» {apples} they wouldnt release a video togive you an impression on what the game is like, that is just crazy talk
«01:11:34» {apples} winner
«01:12:14» {DarkangelUK} when Q3 was announced, they released footage that had someone walking around the map showing it off… WALKING showing to off. You’re hardly gonna strafe 2000ups to show the game design !
«01:12:43» {apples} are they walking in brink?
«01:12:46» {apples} oh wai… no
«01:12:52» {apples} they are using smart
«01:12:54» {DarkangelUK} its not full pace
«01:12:59» {apples} once again its just my feeling
«01:13:05» {apples} never said the game is crap
«01:23:38» {DarkangelUK} but my point… initial footage is no indication of gameplay
«01:25:39» {apples} yeh
«01:26:00» {apples} whats the point on releasing a video if it doesnt show gameplay?
«01:26:12» {apples} the video is the game
«01:26:16» {DarkangelUK} its a tech demo more or less
«01:26:17» {apples} basically
«01:26:26» {DarkangelUK} its the 1st virtual textured game
«01:26:28» {apples} I’m not sure they “walked” in all these vidz
«01:26:33» {DarkangelUK} and was always said to be an alpha
«01:27:07» {apples} I cant express opinoin?
«01:27:08» {DarkangelUK} apples if you were showing your game off, would you go as fast as you could through it?
«01:27:33» {timestart} depends if that’s what you want to show or not
«01:27:46» {DarkangelUK} oh dear
«01:27:50» {apples} I never said the game seemed “slow” action wise
«01:27:59» {DarkangelUK} there’s not enough facepalms in the world
«01:28:24» {apples} we agree on that…
«01:28:38» {apples} still the general speed is slow to me?
«01:28:49» {apples} that was the ONLY thing I wanted to point out
«01:29:49» {apples} Q3/QL/SOF2 etc are faster paced games
«01:29:59» {apples} you deny that?
«01:29:59» {DarkangelUK} how do you know?
«01:30:06» {apples} cuz I played them?
«01:30:11» {DarkangelUK} you played brink?
«01:30:19» {apples} and the brink video arent slow motion are they?
«01:32:25» {DarkangelUK} te Q3 preview movies gave NO INDICATION you could strafe at 2000+ ups… does that make it a slow game?
«01:34:06» {DarkangelUK} Q3, QL and SoF is faster “because you’ve played them” <-- oh … dear
«01:34:29» {apples} brink will be slower paced game
«01:34:36» {apples} we can bet on that if ou want…
«01:34:39» {apples} you*
«01:35:34» {apples} we can bet than brink will be slower paced
«01:35:50» {DarkangelUK} apples can you go write a full on review for Brink based on an alpha preview? I think that’d be awesome… cos you know, an alpha is final gameplay
«01:36:26» {apples} ? it will be slower paced, its not an opinion here, its fact
«01:36:27» {DarkangelUK} strange tho, cos that last time you were comparing it to ETQW… now you’ve shifted to Q3, why is that?
«01:36:38» {apples} it’ll be slower than qw too
«01:36:45» {apples} and qw is slow
«01:36:59» {DarkangelUK} so its gonna be the same speed as CS or similar?
«01:37:07» {apples} sad when ppl think I troll when I just express opinion…
«01:37:25» {apples} imo faster than bf or cod
«01:37:28» {apples} but still
«01:37:35» {apples} I never said it was crap
«01:37:42» {apples} just slower paced
«01:37:46» {apples} and I hardly adapt
«01:37:54» {apples} but I 'll cuz I love the game so far
«01:37:57» {DarkangelUK} you keep saying that, who accused you of saying you said it was crap?
«01:38:13» {apples} I’m not a “pro 1337” boi who just want the game to be exactly like W/et
«01:38:31» {dohfOs} i thought u were joking when u said it brink was slow ^_*
«01:38:48» {apples} brink is slow IMO
«01:38:48» {dohfOs} they’ve said several times it a fast paced game
«01:38:55» {apples} imo are key words here…
«01:39:02» {DarkangelUK} apples you’re obviously not stupid
«01:39:07» {dohfOs} based on what?
«01:39:12» {DarkangelUK} and you know what an alpha is right?
«01:39:25» {dohfOs} some videos shown at gaming convents to show some features of brink?
«01:39:26» {apples} ya but lately, alpha = release
«01:39:32» {apples} ie wolf/bc2 etc etc
«01:39:48» {dohfOs} not when it’s a half year away from release
«01:40:00» {dohfOs} the videos you’ve seen are a half year old by now
«01:40:07» {DarkangelUK} and you should atleast acknowledge that any dev company showing off their game, isn’t gonna run through it like a mad man in case the public miss something
«01:40:21» {DarkangelUK} its a showcase video
«01:40:23» {dohfOs} meaning. when the game hit the shelves these videos will be over 1 year old
«01:40:26» {DarkangelUK} so you take your time
«01:40:35» {dohfOs} exactly
«01:40:35» {apples} I never said the action is slow paced
«01:40:47» {apples} the general speed of the game is slow IMO
«01:40:57» {DarkangelUK} but if you’re taking your time gameplay, you have to take your time movement wise
«01:41:18» {DarkangelUK} he had god mode on and the bots had limited AI… no need to even move fast
«01:41:23» {apples} I just dilike it, and its like a crime…
«01:41:29» {DarkangelUK} and the damage was increased as well
«01:41:50» {dohfOs} hah
«01:42:29» {DarkangelUK} you seem to think that what you saw was ginal
«01:42:33» {DarkangelUK} final
«01:42:52» {DarkangelUK} and you seem to think that what you saw was everything there was to see
«01:43:02» {DarkangelUK} you cant grasp that this was a showcase concept
«01:43:04» {apples} why would the dev speed up the game anyway?
«01:43:14» {apples} the speed is likeley final
«01:43:20» » DarkangelUK dies a little inside
«01:43:21» {apples} sry typo…
«01:43:31» {dohfOs} obviously they do everything slow so that ppl don’t miss out on stuff
«01:44:14» {DarkangelUK} dohfOs exactly
«01:44:31» {DarkangelUK} but he seems to think that locki walking the game to show it off is an indication of the final speed
«01:45:13» {apples} if its not the final speed, then they must have heard me
«01:45:17» {apples} hallelujah
«01:46:09» {dohfOs} aye, would be funny to see an actual game. 8v8 where ppl move like locki did. i wonder how that game would turn out. doubt we’re ever gonna see it though
«01:46:39» {DarkangelUK} he had bot on, shouldve been dead in the 1st few mins
«01:49:02» {DarkangelUK} i will admit though, no game will be faster than Q3

also id like to see no bullet counter on the bottom right, no radar on the bottom left, like deadspace, for a more visceral gaming experience. if you want to check your bullets look at your gun.
