How about a mod for BRINK with a set of maps that test your speed on traversing the world and sorting out obstacles? It doesn’t have to have pretty maps but it would inprove SMART movement.
It would include SMART tricks along with weapon based movement that may appear (rocket jump?)
I mentioned in the old things id like to see in Brink suggestions thread a while ago about having a defrag style mod with speedruns, fastcaps etc. Def something I would like in the game.

This came up before and I definitely think it is a great idea. To be honest I felt that something a long these lines should have been the early “Brink Beta”. A SMART movement public demo is perfect for publicity and hungry fans, and is an easy work around for all that anti-beta propaganda. If the devs never considered that as a possibility, dey ought 2 :stroggtapir:.
Yeah I kind of remembered this today morning. I even saw Defrag like maps in one of the dev diaries, so they already have it!

that’s why I said DeFRaG-like and not a “running circuit map”. Minimal changes to those would make a perfect training map.

Characterizing feature of Defrag maps is the intricate track full of obstacles that must be beaten using Q3 movement physics. And that glimpse in trailer shows only blocks evenly spaced, which is good for testing and incredibly boring for speedrun.
I don’t think you even need a mod for it?
Just make a parkour for stopwatch mode. Whoever gets to the object the fastest obviously wins.
Needs a mod really, how are you meant to practice without knowing what exact time you are setting?
yeah, maps will be a big part of it, but you know, counters, timers, modifying a little the respawn locations, setting new records, that sort of stuff.
imo, leaves this to the modders.
EDIT: lol, seems I misinterpreted the thread, I think this will definitely be a mod in BRINK.
