Holy S**t Moments!

(RAAAAAAAAAAGE) #1

I thought it would be fun to have a thread where you can all your post memorable moments from matches in Brink. Maybe it’s a terrible idea but oh well :smiley:

So i guess i’ll go first :slight_smile:

Map : Refuel (Resistance)

I was playing with the bots (PSN not up here yet), I decided to be an engineer and the bots were doing pretty well. So when it got to the part where the operatives have to hack the objective i decided to stay an engineer and trust the AI to do it. I managed to fight my way onto the small platform where you actually hack, I placed a turret facing the steps, and a mine at the bottom of the steps.

So the timer was ever counting down and i was dug in like an alabama tick, the medics were being ever so helpful by giving me supply pips, so i had a constant stream of mines. Finally an operative made it to the console but just stood there, staring aimlessly at the computer not planting a hack box. I was fighting with everything i had to keep this A**hole alive but he just stood there.

With about a minute to go he planted the hackbox , and i thought there was no way in hell he was gonna hack it in time. But my team kicked into overdrive and swarmed the warehouse, mercilessly killing anything in their path. Another 2 operatives joined in the hack. And i **** you not with 1 SECOND LEFT! The hack finished. :eek:

That story probably bored you S***less but it’s one of the most nerveracking experiences I’ve had on Brink.

I look forward to hearing all your stories :slight_smile:

Disclaimer: Please people, I beg of you not to complain in this thread, as if there isn’t enough complaining threads already.

Map: Any Map

I load in, get my mission briefing and start booking it to the front line.
I skip ten feet ahead of where I was. Now I’m back at spawn
Now I’m in a firefight. Skip back ten feet
I’m now running into a wall. Now I see a guy in my crosshairs.
I hold the trigger down. I was actually already dead.

Fix the lag splash damage, I love your game, but fix the damned lag

Terminal, my first online game.

Someone else on my team had picked up the keycodes and was running towards the dorpoff point via the upper levels of the map. I was trying to catch up with him through the lower levels when i saw on the radar he was going to be ambushed by to opponents. He got downed while I was running up the escalator. (I was already cooking a grenade.) When I saw the opponents (a medium and a heavy) I lobbed the grenade at them, shot it, took out the medium, picked up de keycodes, melee’d the heavy in the face and continued on running towards the drop off point (without stopping). I made it there, but they were camping it.

Later in the game just prior to storming the drop off point with about 6 players. I (carrying the codes) and another light split off, approached and flanked our opponents. That time we did manage to drop off the key codes successfully.

I’m really loving the grenade shooting perk. As a light, flanking the enemy, lobbing a grenade in their midsts and shooting it before they can run away is quite satisfying.

Not to spoil your moment, but if the time runs down and a hack is in progress, the game goes into overtime.

Overtime situations are the most exciting. In my case, I was hacking the vents in reactor, 90%, overtime, friendly-fire on. Enemies swarm in, team-mates try to shoot them, and I run around trying to avoid fire coming from both sides.

We did manage to hack it succesfully. Failed the next stage though. =(

I had overtime disabled xD
How much extra time does it give you? I’ve never gone into overtime for long enough to find out.

Overtime lasts as long as an objective action is in progress.

So if a hack is in progress (i.e. an operative has his PDA out and is actively hacking it) then the timer continues.
If the Operative stops hacking, then the game is over.

The same also applies for other objectives. So if a bomb is placed or if an engie is repairing an objective, then the timer will go into overtime untill they are interrupted.

first online game, ended up with most kills and on the other team was nkm (This guy) Even got a cheeky snipe on him :smiley:

(SinDonor) #8

I chased one skinny Enemy AI bot down and he was hiding behind a pillar as I shot at him with the minigun. I was laughing my ass off because as I moved left around the pillar, he’d move right, then I’d switch directions and so would he. That pillar had like 100 bullet holes in it. Finally, he was able to maneuver to a position where he ran to a railing, climbed on it then wall-jumped to a walkway above and out of my line of sight. Sunuvabitch!!!

Some dude last night was running from me and hopped on a mounted MG to kill me. I jumped over the box and domed him with a handgun mid vault.

Best “@*#& I’m awesome!” moment:

Security, Light Operative. Escorting the bot through Container City.

A Soldier had just set the HE charge, and in the time it took to blow, I managed to wipe out the entire enemy team. I had 3 bullets left in my Galactic’s magazine (non-upgraded), and had only lost 2 pips of health.

Best “SO CLOSE!” moment:

Resistance, Light Operative. The mission where you have to blast the door open, then hack the safe and deliver the documents.

Being on PS3, and with PSN still down in my region, I had to rely on bots. But we got the door blown literally with 1 second left on the timer.

I was at 85% on the hack when the timer kicked into overtime, and I made it to 97% before my last friendly died. The mission failed when i got meleed out of the hack at 98%

Best “WTF?” moment:

Friendly Medic (AI) running up to me highlighted yellow when the spawn timer starts, standing on top of me for a few seconds, then running away without reviving me after the timer’s ticked over and I can’t take the spawn wave any more. Twice in a row.

Not very HS but funny

map" ship yard
My friends and I were on the way to the main barricade to go through to repair the crane, as soon as we went inside the boat, the WHOLE enemy team was there with six mines at least five turrets 2 heavies with mini-guns, and an operative with caltrops. Needless to say we got ****ed up.

(IG THOMBOW) #14

This thread needs to be stickied.

Anyway, I got five dudes with one EZ-Nade spam once. It was the “hack the mainframe” one and I was on defense, and there was five guys in there defending and hacking and all. I stood on high ground, whipped out the fart machine and just blasted them to hell. Straight to hell.

My friend was playing co-op with A.I. and the friendly A.I. was hacking the primary objective. The bot was incapped with only a couple seconds left. My friend threw a Lazarus 'Nade from across the map, revived him, he completed the hack and won the mission! That was a Holy S**t moment, no doubt.
