I Played A Game of Brink With 0% SPREAD!


(Terminator514) #1

I was just in a game of Brink where I noticed there was 0% spread on ALL weapons and I could jump about 9 feet in there air, whenever I jumped.

Having 0 spread on all weapons was pretty sweet and gave me a glimpse of what Brink could be like without so much spread; highly competitive and requiring much more skill. I say, knock the spread WAY down on all weapons and let us play Brink like this all of the time.

So, what do you guys think? Spread, some spread, or barely any?

uh…seriously?

I’m seriously serious.

… Sooo… I’m cconfused…
working WITHOUT spread requires skill…? I thought it went the other way around…?

What’s going on?

How would spread require more skill?
Having spread would require more LUCK

Having low spread would require skill to AIM your target and kill him
Having high spread would require LUCK to kill your target

How on earth you come by that high spread requires more skill? More skill in what?

Zero spread is bit over the top though, needs to be some balance there.

I remember zero spread in etqwpro, hyperblaster deathray was hilarious :smiley:

The skill involves 3 things. Controlling spread, tracking and the ability to hit high damage areas on the body.
If you remove controllable spread, then it becomes a simple case of who sees who first b/w 2 players of equal aim skill.
So spread becomes the thing that differentiates 2 aimers of equal ability. Against less skilled players, no spread will always favour the better aimer.

In Brink the guns spread isnt exactly controllable. Its more like a fixed spray pattern. :wink:

spread is good random deviation is bad, i think the OP meant random deviation


(tokamak) #11

Spread is to balance between the balance and distances. It shouldn’t be there to level the field between competency in aiming.


(Ashog) #12

yes! that’s just what I thought!

spread is the balance to balance between the balance and the balance of two different balances of unbalanced weapons.

Spread/recoil/kick is added to balance the rof/damage/accuracy of the weapons.

Do we really want laser weapons with 0 spread?
Will be a camp and snipe fest with ALL the weapons like BC2.


(murka) #14

Woa, so did someone change the netvars or sth?


(Crytiqal) #15

You can change these settings in the server console

There was a thread somewhere about bunny hopping aswell.

I am interested in hosting a BRINK server which includes both these options…

If someone could point me in the right direction (I am ****ing lazy) then I will look into it.

I’d love to have a few rounds on that server if you set it up!

So SD, can we get someone to work on the fact that some of us haven’t been able to play online for over a month now, pretty please?

Would it be interesting if the server would have the following stuff?

FF On
Bots Off
Stopwatch mode
Spread decreased (Dunno how much yet tho)
Bunny hopping (As far as possible in the thread mentioned)


(light_sh4v0r) #19

Yes, I’ll play :slight_smile:
