Forming a Basis for Comparing Guns in Brink

(Vaporman) #1

Linsolv at the forums has taken it upon himself to run the numbers and provide us with a basis for comparing the guns in Brink by effectiveness. This is just the base for building a complete (as possible) comparison of known weapons in the game. My thanks go out to him.

Sounds like a good way for him to pass the time until release, but I’ll just wait until shortly after release and check the hard numbers on Brink Weapon Stats.

I didn’t read all the replies, so maybe someone already mentioned it to him, but he has an error in his basic formula: you can’t say the amount of damage it takes to gib a guy is equal to the amount of damge it takes to kill a guy, especially when the devs have pretty much said it takes more to gib than kill.

Also, since they are constantly tewaking values, the damage from the same gun in one video isn’t necessarily going to be the same in a different video (if he is doing all of his comparison with one video, then of course there won’t eb thart problem). Probably he knows this though.

I can relate to the guy wanting something Brink related to do while waiting for Brink, but as soon as he is done it will probably already be changed :frowning:

Much respect for the time and effort he has put into his weapon equations, but it is WAY to early for that kind of conjecture.

One of the members(Da_Mexicant) from the Unit 13 forums made a weapons stats chart(spare the names) not too long ago. It lists some of the weapons from the “Choir of Guns” video. http://img193.imageshack.us/i/weapon2edited4.jpg/

Linsolv has added his first weapon preview: The Kross

WITH LYRICS! :open_mouth: omg yes

neat analysis, probably will be different in release since 1/3 of a second at medium range is kinda short for bodyshots.

(Fishbus) #18

Don’t want to sound like a killjoy, but the weapon damage has been changed many times from video to video. Some for demo ‘one off’ purposes, others are gameplay balance (or imbalance, rather). But, I mean, go ahead if you guys want right now, I’m just thinking it won’t be too accurate, you should wait until it’s released at least :slight_smile:

(tokamak) #19

And by then no doubt the weapon stats can be derived from the game data itself.
