Handing out kevlar jacket/armor is an ability. So now we got an ability that reduces damage too?


(DouglasDanger) #604

There was mention of an arms race of sorts between weapon upgrades and health/armor upgrades. It was an older interview, I think Paul talked about it, maybe in one of PAX 2010 vids.

The GameArena Interview is fantastic! I would, however, warn people that there are what I would consider MAJOR SPOILERS in it. I think the “Different Realities” (my own words) story telling is absolutely brilliant and should be adopted by most shooters, imo. Some of the major ideas are given away in that interview. Reader beware.

In the second half of the interview, Rahdo waxes on about the Operative and some of the perks for the other classes. Outstanding!

It’s the whole “not knowing what killed you, and no way to counter it” mechanic.

running in-game, and suddenly dropping dead, only to find that it was a bullet from a gun 2 miles away, isn’t exactly fun…I especially like it when you will be in a firefight, and get killed by a sniper.

It’s not so much that snipers are assholes, it’s how the mechanic is implemented in games. Brink seems to taking the approach of keeping accurate, long range weapons available for players who want them, without making ungodly killing machines.

There are plenty of good snipers who get in amongst the action with the rest of the team, but there are the annoying ones who sit at spawn and take pot shots at people and end up with 2 kills for a round… But at least they didn’t die!!! :rolleyes:

‘A game made almost as for me. But as much as I am also on the track, the tidbits presentations by Splash Damage are a little tiring.
The last preview event for the fourth time I got the container level seen. And the second scenario directly on the Ark was demonstrated even in a different presentation.’

Seems even the journalists are pissed off at the lack of any new information.


(Seyu) #620

Actually it’s these snipers who get the most kills.
