First Official Brink Footage Released, Shows Off SMART


(.Chris.) #141

I have eclipse I and only keys I can keep pressed down with my thumb while having full control of WASD is space bar and C, and not everyone has millions of mouse buttons, I have 2 side buttons and they only good for one hit functions not keeping held down.

Also ever heard of context binding? In ET:QW I had same keys binded for different things depending on if was in vehicle or not, same principle can be applied to other situations like having an nade armed…

What keys can u press down with your thumb except of the spacebar and the left ALT key?


(light_sh4v0r) #143

when using WASD, I use my thumb for every letter I bind except for like 5. I still think you guys are just sound like whiny gamers, who don’t like change and/or innovation.


(Ryan) #145

Yes, cause this isn’t innovation, its change for the worse (as we think of it), something we don’t like.
Omg, we are such whiners

When someone says to you, you HAVE to wear a pink dress and you say no thanks, “I like it the way it is”, we don’t say to you your just acting as a whiner who can’t stand change and innovation, now do we? :wink:


(DoubleDigit) #146

Exactly, they sound just like those idiots amateur photographers complaining about dslr cameras having video mode all of a sudden. Something about ruining the spirit of photography and all that crap. And guess what. The guys complaining couldn’t take a decent picture in their entire lifes.


(Ryan) #147

Lol, could we just drop it already. I have been saying this for the past 2 pages that I already stated my arguments on how and why I like it to be a weaponbank. Cmon!

Who keeps whining about the “whining” :s


(DoubleDigit) #148

I’d like to see more gameplay action. But in the meantime…


(DarkangelUK) #149

Seriously… have both! Loads of games have multiple binds for the same action… hold to crouch and toggle crouch, hold to walk and toggle walk… how about throw nade and select nade to throw?

An instant throw would be fine, but i’d also like to solely select and cook the nade on mouse1. My nade button is G, and my movement has always been ERTF. I’m a strafer, i like cook and strafe an enemy shooting at me to avoid his shots then let go so it splodes in his face… not possible unless i grow an extra few fingers. I’ve always played nades that way, RtCW, ET, ET:QW… i completely understand the separate instant nade button, how can you NOT understand the need for control without a complete remap of binds?

Well seeing as you can bind the keys (I guess picking a different color dress?) this is hardly a good example…


(Ryan) #151

I guess some people just can’t understand other people’s thoughts and have a tunnel vision.

You can bind the key but it still does the same thing.

Why don’t u just try to come up with arguments and reasoning to why a weaponbank would be useless instead of calling other people whiners?


(.Chris.) #152

Having short thumbs makes me a whiny gamer who doesn’t like change and/or innovation, you sir are a genius…


(Ragoo) #153

I definitely always liked the standard select the grenade and then throw it with mouse 1. Just like I liked it for all the others tools you can have.
This was very useful in ET:QW to be faster at what you do and yeah, nade throwing just works better on mouse 1 for me (I realized that when I played CoD).
I don’t see a reason why you couldn’t implement both in the game. I mean one button for different actions like the ET:QW thing works perfect and nade throwing with only one button can be ok but it will never be the best solution for me and since it shouldn’t be too hard you could implement it (otherwise I will ask the pro modders to do it :stuck_out_tongue: ).


(H0RSE) #154

I guess some people just can’t understand other people’s thoughts and have a tunnel vision.

You can bind the key but it still does the same thing.

The argument here is that holding down a button opposed to just pressing it, compromises some movement with WASD. If you were to bind it to a key where it doesn’t interfere with using the WASD key, the problem would be solved. So it would remove the problem that most of you are complaining about.

You can re-bind the button…you have short thumbs? bind it to the mouse, or Q or E or any other button that you don’t need a thumb for…


(.Chris.) #155

I know you can re-bind it but for the 37th time, binding to mouse 4/5 isn’t comfortable when keeping them pressed which effects aim and binding to another key on board will effect WASD control hampering movement cause I only have 4 fingers on my left hand.

Just because YOU can use the proposed method from SD comfortably, doesn’t mean everyone else can, adding an alternative option is not exactly going to hurt the game in any shape or form, I don’t understand why you are so opposed to having flexibility in controls insisting we should make do and stop ‘whining’.

Do you actually READ other people’s posts?
I already said that you would need to bind a key for it on the mouse then which becomes useless after you have thrown your 1 grenade and occupying precious buttons which could be used for VOIP or SMART button.

Go take a reading course or something…

And not everyone has more mouse buttons, so they would be stuck with the “sucky” controls

And yea, pressing a thumb button on your mouse isn’t really comfy and troubles precision asswell.


(Senyin) #157

As long as I can bind mouse1 to ‘move forward’, I’m happy.
Please reassure me I have that liberty

I know some might say that’s a given but it’s not.


(DarkangelUK) #158

We could script it :smiley:

set nadearmed "bind G $nadedisarmed; bind mouse1 _weapon3; addchatline 'Nade Equiped'"
set nadedisarmed "bind G $nadearmed; bind mouse1 _attack; _weapon2 ; addchatline 'Weapon Equiped'"
bind G $nadearmed

Nade Equiped and grenades are on your mouse1, press again and you’re back to main weapon \o/ Totally made up script but the theory is there…


(reaply) #159

Man, you guys have always made my favorite games. And now you have such a great thing called SMART that… that just made me happy for today. Just a cool idea and you never see that.


(H0RSE) #160

I already said that you would need to bind a key for it on the mouse

So you’re telling me out of all the buttons on a keyboard, none of them would be good enough to allow you to have full WASD control while holding it down, and thus you would have to resort to binding it to a mouse button…maybe you should stick to using a gamepad.

And yea, pressing a thumb button on your mouse isn’t really comfy and troubles precision asswell.

my mouse 1 button on my trackball is pressed with my thumb…it’s quite comfortable.
