BRINK Video - Arrow Key Assassination

(riptide) #21

[QUOTE=Glyph;325141]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.[/QUOTE]

There is currently no benefit to controlled burst in this game. 9 times out of 10 you would lose to the person holding down mouse 1 with his drum mag carb9.

At med-long range the pistol are more accurate and than AR’s while having less damage fall than the smgs. So there really is no reason to use the AR other than to be stubbornly unique.

[quote=De|f|c;324927]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:

What did you use to record the clips?

Also the movie was alreet, aim and tracking left a lot to be desired but it was ok as a pub movie i guess, im just happy to see frag movies around

It depends on the build and the style of play. I have the ‘unique’ Light with a CARB-9 + drum mag build and a Sea Eagle secondary. I also have a Medium with a Gerund + GL and a Bulpdaun secondary. Both require very different tactics to play and both have different effective ranges. Just because you do not engage at medium-long range does not invalidate such a tactic. Lastly, underslung grenades destroy lights at medium range so there is a purpose to ARs.

remember never to post a frag movie here…

[QUOTE=Jak Swift;325002]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”[/QUOTE]

killing is in the game if 7 people do that and one does the objective sh-t still gets done yes?? if the game wasnt about death at all no guns would be in the game bruh

an thats why the pengi has a gun:penguin:

(Smokeskin) #26

Great video :slight_smile: And don’t listen to the haters, of course you have to kill enemies to win, that’s the major method to winning, and frags make good videos, while guarding an objective or cracking safes don’t.

A few questions:

  • how come you don’t have a d-flex sight on the sea eagle? From the equip screen, it looks like there’s no equip speed penalty or anything else, and it is much easier to aim with. Or is there actually a downside to using it?

  • how do you feel about drum vs hi-cap mag? You’re using hi-cap, so you prefer that obviously, but to me it seems the extra 15 bullets will save me more often than the faster reload and equip speed the hi-cap has. I’d like to hear your thoughts.

I’m a fan of continous action than best moments. Enjoy

(Butcher Rabbit) #28

Nice vid! My only question is what did you use to record it? Since it seems everyone has a hankering for something other than the Carb, I thought I might record my suckage at Brink while using some ARs (especially now that I have a vid card that might actually support me recording games lol).

(Rubbaduren) #29

There isn’t much of a point bursting when hip-firing, but especially with an AR ADS, it is very helpfull. I have for the most of the time in BRINK, been using ARs. Tried the CARB-9 yesterday… Its a beast, nerf? :stuck_out_tongue: The galactic with a drummag looks awesome, and 90 bullets? insane, like that better thatn the CARB

[QUOTE=riptide;325135]
As for the OP… you may want to bind melee instead of using the pistol in melee range :P[/QUOTE]

I have melee bound, it’s just often easier to finish with a pistol as you can see in the video melee is quite easy to miss with lol

I expected to get trolled and it has. People complain about objectives miss the point or simply enjoy being pedantic, or call for controlled burst which is fine in other games but has no place in Brink. I think in large part though, the community here is pretty awful regardless of the response to my video. It started with the poor release of the game but has evolved into repeat posting on how and why people dislike the game, arguing over what should and shouldn’t be implemented, posters trolling one another over matters of opinion. It’s a real shame when a great game like Brink retains a community such as this one as it just holds an already struggling game down.

exactly, but of course a crowd of ‘this game is objective based - go back to your cod’, fanboyism has cropped up (which I am part of in part - no I don’t play cod either), but to a ridiculous elitist extent. Guarding a chokepoint for 20 minutes, throwing buffs to team mates, occasionally repairing my turret and redeploying mines certainly wouldn’t make for an interesting watch - everyone knows this, but of course the need to jump on the wagon and shout ‘thats how it’s supposed to be played!’ comes around and well, the responses in this thread are what come about.

  • The sights are just preferance and I find on the occasions when more than a high-cap mag are needed, my pistol is usually enough to do the job. The reduced accuracy etc. aren’t worth it for me.

The video is just a continuous spawn, run, get a kill, die, respawn, repeat affair. Makes for a poor viewing tbh.

And without watching your video I’m assuming its a continuous transition, get a kill, run on, transition, repeat affair. Makes for poor viewing for some.

While objectives arent the most exciting thing to watch, seeing someone escort the bot or take the intel can be quite exciting to watch

Well if you watched the video, you would see that isn’t the case. As I said before, it’s with the intention of showing effective use of the map to either outplay or outflank the enemy. Why would you choose to watch someone play a game in which they die numerous times escorting a bot, when you can just go and play that game yourself?

(system) #33

Because maybe you don’t have the game and you are interested in proper gameplay instead of someone compiling a movie out of best of moments thst really aren’t best of actually. Btw, your intro is extremely boring.

(jazevec) #34

[QUOTE=Jak Swift;325101]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.
[/QUOTE]

Everyone understands a frag movie. A movie showing off teamwork and coordination takes effort to analyze. People don’t like thinking too hard.

(De|f|c) #35

Then go watch one of the other couple hundred gameplays on youtube. I love your logic though as to why nobody should make a frag movie. Truly genius, “because someone might not have the game”.

Maybe if I added a disclaimer at the start, everyone would be happy.

It could read, [I]"this is not how a typical session of Brink is played out. Here…right here…you should be repairing this turret, and this guy…yes him…you should be waiting for your pip to fill so you can buff him - however for all intent purposes this video has been made for people who can’t grasp teamwork or objectives.

Caution: If you do not have the game viewer discretion is advised due to graphic scenes of uncooperative and lack of objective gameplay"[/I]

(Rubbaduren) #36

I have to agree with De|f|c. There is alot of people, me included, that can enjoy a frag movie. Sure, the game is based on teamwork, but the killing is a big part of a first person shooter… A video of a full game gives more than a frag movie though, in terms of learning. Sure, its cool to get to know the flank routes, jumpspots etc, but its just as important to know when to use them.

(Sinner) #37

I really don’t understand why you keep using this argument.

Why would you choose to watch a spray and pray frag video when you can go play that game yourself?

And anyone saying there’s no point to controlled bursts has obviously never used the Gerund. Probably hasn’t used any AR, but that’s beside the point.

[/I][/QUOTE]

You are very thick in the head aren’t you. The ‘because someone might not have the game’ was the reasoning for my movie, not yours. And where are the hundreds of gameplay movies you talk about, everybody makes frag movies, just like yourself.

I was just testing how fraps kills my machine when recording and find it funny enough to post it on youtube.

because watching a string of 7-8 kills whilst moving quickly around the map using the SMART system, relatively unseen before in a game, is far more interesting to most, than posting an unedited 20 minute video of a match in which you get a kill, hack another 4% on the hackbox, or camp the room/area of the objective you’re guarding, get killed, run back, repeat. it’s not hard to understand, but as i said you enjoy being pedantic for the sake of being so.

As for ‘never used the gerund’, well I’m not using the gerund am I? slow clap

(Sinner) #40

I agree, watching a mediocre player get a few kills is more interesting than watching a poor player get killed. But you know what’s more interesting than that? Watching a good player get kills while completing the objective. Anyone can get a few kills, and anyone can suicide rush the objective for 5% over and over, but it takes a bit of skill to cap an objective while holding off the entire enemy team.

As for ‘never used the gerund’, well I’m not using the gerund am I? slow clap

You seem to have completely missed my point, but I’m too lazy to dumb it down for you. Just take my word for it when I tell you there’s more to this game than spraying SMGs, okay?
