BRINK Video - Arrow Key Assassination

(De|f|c) #1

So I’ve put together my first video of Brink having collected footage over the last 3 days. The game has flaws, that’s for sure - but if you can get past them there’s a lot of fun to be had, which I hope this video shows.
Let me know what you guys think, but please avoid trolling. If you have some criticisms then you’re welcome to comment them here or on the video in a mature way.
Also if anyone else has any videos they’ve put together they want to share, then feel free to post them here also.
Hope you like it! :smiley:

Why are people making “Kill-Tages” when it is not what brink is about, I want to see choke points, big fire fights, objective skillage, with a mixture of kills in between, this is a classic lone wolf tage.
Its not even like theres any crazy kills given the tools : /

Overall “Be More Objective”

Who cares what the game is about? W:ET wasn’t only about frags but you got a metric ****ton of frag movies for it, ETQW had it’s fair share as well. They also had tricking movies, they also had bug movies, random made up head**** movies… at the end of the day it’s for entertainment.

I expected that comment, but find it somewhat irrelevant - or rather, questionable. The entire game is choke points, that’s Brink - and what many describe as one of it’s biggest flaws. Showing the ‘big fights’ in these chokepoints would be as simple as recording any one of the escort missions. The same goes for ‘objective skillage’. The only way I see objective skillage being played out is taking an objective quickly and efficiently - which is nothing interesting to watch.
The video was made with the intention of showing efficient use of the map and getting kills whilst moving around it quickly - which the SMART system allows you to do, and that’s arguably the other side of what BRINK is all about.

So a video in which you’re ‘being objective’ is a video which would be a snooze to watch and would hardly make for a good montage of clips. As Darkangel has already said, it’s purely for entertainment - not a tutorial on how to play the game.

I watched three and a half minutes before getting bored with the Carb spray.

There is a couple of nice killsl, but I agree, should be change it up a little :stuck_out_tongue: And it is quite easy to get those kills on defence (5v5 can be hard if the enemy team is good). Killing everyone on attack is good though, and helps the team. However, this is defence, and you are doing a pretty good job (The minutes I watched :stuck_out_tongue: )

Thanks except the clips are actually evenly split 50/50 between playing on attack and defence

oh yea and a smg spam : /

I hope you know how much you make me laugh. What are you expecting a video of?

No-scoping? is that what you’re craving?

or how about a video comprised entirely of melee kills? no?

You just want your ‘objective skillage’? - an entire video dedicated to welding and hacking?

Christ, no wonder Brink is on wobbly legs with people like you in the community. :cool:

The ego makes a lot of noise as it deflates, similar to a balloon.

Pretty useful binds for arrow key users

// ET-Style Activate Lean (for arrow key users)

bind “leftarrow” “_peekleft” “KP_INS” “default”
bind “rightarrow” “_peekright” “KP_INS” “default”

press and hold kp_ins then use left or right arrow to lean left or right

No… I want to see a team winning a firefight at a choke point, then completing an objective, then moving forth, you know? like the stuff that happens in brink? i dislike players like this, it usually cost me the game. Being that its a group effort.

Also a choke point isent a flaw, it brings larger group fire fights and team effort, i love them.

(NRGIZER36) #13

its fun to see someone elses play style and you can play this game many ways slipping away and going for an objective while everyone else is stuck in a chokepoint firefight feels so great !!! I love BRINK!!!

(Jak Swift) #14

Ye but it isent a “play style” is it? Just running in and gunning with an smg with no itentions other then codding it as i like to call it.

The amount of times im trying to win the games and my team are just running in like headless chickens for 20 mins straight…

(DarkangelUK) #15

Don’t know what you were expecting from a frag movie. I’m more annoyed that he never finished anyone off properly and left them lying to be revived.

I’m always after the objective, be it defending or attacking. These are simply clips taken during the rounds, either whilst trying to get to or clear an area for the objective , taking out the attacking team to defend the objective, or simply doing a few fun runs because my team sucks and the objective isn’t going anywhere. You can clearly see at the end of the video, I even tell me team to come and hack the objective.
Not that your opinion matters at this point as you’ve clearly proven you’re worthiness as a troll retorting ‘there’s too much spray’ when there’s no other way to play the game other than stand and snipe, and exclaiming that I should simply be posting up un-edited gameplay of chokepoints which the game is widely criticised for and is something everyone can play for themselves. Other than that, your posts have a hint of bitterness either towards me or the game. How unfortunate for you.

Humour me and post up an exciting video of huge chokepoint firefights with your epic push skills, owning everyone, using your non-spraying semi-automatic weapon. It’s okay, I’ll wait.

Controlled burst-firing is not an option? I think the point was that your montage is pretty much full-auto spray where you continue to fire bullets until the target dies or you run out of ammo, whichever happens first. Yes, your method works just fine but it still qualifies as spraying.

(De|f|c) #18

Burst-fire is pointless in this game as you’re not having to control recoil, and the CoF is barely affected by spraying - to burst fire would be gimping yourself for the sake of doing so.

(riptide) #19

LOL @ controlled burst-firing.

As for the OP… you may want to bind melee instead of using the pistol in melee range :stuck_out_tongue:

You have your style of play and it works for you. I don’t know why you are offended when another poster calls you out on the fact that you do indeed spray your CARB-9. You apparently felt it necessary to equip the high capacity magazine for the extra bullets too. That’s simply the way you play Brink and there is nothing wrong with that.

That being said there is more to Brink than simply running up on someone and firing non-stop until they die. At medium range you need to lay off of the trigger to allow your spread to recover slightly otherwise you are simply wasting bullets. At long range, well, I guess that would be a montage for someone else to make. The point is that the other poster was not a troll but commenting on your style of play. Personally I’d pay more attention to the poster commenting on you not finishing off downed players as that is an actual flaw in your current style.
