Quick Question Regarding Challenges

(LyndonL) #21

You guys are missing the point… The challenges are in a game mode separate to the main campaign ergo no influence on anything in game.

i do lack a source for this, should be in the h0rse’s compendium tho. the challenges are embedded in the regular game. you can choose to tackle them anytime u like, in SP, COOP or in MP.
anyhow hunting after these challenges does not neccesarily hinder team-goals, they actually do help the team in some sort. see h0rse’s example:

According to someone I talked to who attended PAX, here is what Rahdo said when he asked about Challenges:

“Our challenges are entire scripted levels, which you can play solo or co-op. An example of one is a level we call “MEDIC!”, where you play as a medic on a team, where your only job is to keep the other team-members alive, while they complete core objectives. The trick to doing well in this challenge is being smart about who you revive, and when you revive them. If you win, you’ll unlock something cool, as well as a tougher difficulty level. And if you beat that difficulty level, you’ll unlock more cool stuff and difficulty levels.

Similar to the Spec Ops missions in MW2 by the sounds of it.

It is and has been - http://www.fragworld.org/frag/community-blogs/brink-info-pt-3-weapons-and-customization.html (at the bottom of page)

No MP - I think just SP or co-op.

There is no hunting since “Challenges” is it’s own, separate choice from the menu.

hold it right there mister. YOU oughta know! :wink:
since brink blends sp-coop-mp there’s no seperate challenge mode. challenges/achievement have to come up /be accomplished in either of those three modes.
gimme a night i’ll find the reference myself or maybe staff may back me up here…

Challenges are its own option, separate from the rest of the game.
As I stated earlier, Rahdo said, “Our challenges are entire scripted levels, which you can play solo or co-op.”

You can see the option for them on the menu in this pic.

Achievements and Challenges are not the same thing.

Challenges relate to an account and not per character?

Cool, that image ended up somewhere afterall. Though it is likely obsolete now which Choir of Guns could probably show.

I’m not sure if I missed that interview before or what, but I didn;t notice previously the way they use inteligence for team balancing:

  1. If one team is getting dominated, an inteligence mission pops up for that team.
  2. The mission generated is for a player who is personally getting dominated (so it give him a chance to be a hero).
  3. The inteligence system can be turned on or off (makes sense, especially for comp, but notable anyway).

Horse you have these thing listed in your compendium (I haven’t read it recently)?

Yes, it’s all there.

(Exedore) #31

Challenge progression is per character, but the unlocks they grant are per account.

(THEJORRRG) #32

Then what is Freeplay mode?

(madoule) #33

you will be joining the closest, fastest server on both sides (security or resistance) in coop and MP (or just single along by yourself).

in a campaign you’ll progress map-wise (if you win) on the resistance or security story path… (as well sp-coop-mp)
