Requests/Suggestions for future DLC Maps

(Rezinakan) #1

Former W:ET player here from way back. In short I think SD has done a terrific job with Brink and has delivered the best squad based/objective based gameplay in a long time - kudos for that.

That being said, I would really like to see SD continue to support long term game play and competition with Brink and the best way to do that is to introduce new maps to keep the game fresh. The purposes of this thread is to suggest ideas/concepts for SD to take into consideration when delivering new maps* - Please feel free to add your suggestions to the mix

#1 - would like to see an outdoor map (perhaps something outside the ark) on a torn up battlefield with SMART obstacles that are useful (i.e.) trucks to slide under - rooftops to scale. Brink needs a little outdoor love to mix with the indoor maps

#2 - assault on a corporation/founders office building

Keep up the good work SD:)

I also wouldn’t mind seeing some of the original W:ET maps remade to fit the Brink/Ark Storyline to play.

#1 remake “oasis” (or “island” from qw) ambiance style, on a small island outside the Ark where the resistance prisoners are getting held captive by security -> resistance has to destruct 2 phat canons in order to escape with a boat and break free

#2 mmmm I can clearly see “volcano” from QW on this idea, resistance has to attack a fortified bunker and destruct / steal somthing from inside.

Anyway I’m pretty confident than with a SDK, the custom community will be big enough to release quality maps.

As for the map as DLC, I wont agree except if its free, and I understand the dev cant release only free content, especially if there arent allready on a new contract (monies!)

Peace

Why not more areas from the actual Ark, why does everyone got to keep tryin to put things in this game cause their other fav game has it. Would 10x more rather see some maps of other Ark locations like in the Founders Tower or on its roof area. Maybe some Downtown Ark levels showing the heart of the original living areas and main gathering places. Even something underground in the utility/maintenance areas undernearth the Ark would be cool.
So many places on the Ark we havnt even seen yet but many seem to want to suddenly say forget the Ark lets re do this map or this map from another game and put it in Brink. Go play those games if you love those maps, I and I am sure MANY others would rather see more of this enormous self sustaining city then some map that does not fit or have anything to do with the game.

  • more crosshairs (small dot ftw!)
  • localize hitsounds so we can import our own (ETPRO!)

Founder’s Tower SSM impact site invaded by stolen resistance choppas after the databrain. Wreckage/construction scaffolding makes proper use of verticality and movement system.

I think most of the map layouts can be remade in an Ark setting so what’s wrong about suggesting certain layouts?

For me as an ET:QW player I would love to see Volcano^^ And maybe Sewer’s indoor layout for 2nd and 3rd objective.

But I bet RtCW and W:ET players can come up with more suitable maps to remake ^^

I am all for the fleshing out/development of the Brink story in future maps. If there’s one criticism I have for SD its that they spent a ton of time fleshing out this very cool world and storyline but there’s really not much to it other than audio logs and the intro/finishing cut scenes. Brink screams out for a more developed story which could be delivered in a number of ways. I also think that most of us playing Brink played W:ET and we would love to see those map layouts incorporated into the Brink lore as we know they play very well and also it cuts out serious dev time as the layouts are already designed.

I totally agree about wanting to know more and discover more. Hopefully the DLC expands on everything and maybe has new audio logs also.

Have to argue about most playing Brink have played W:ET, maybe the PC crowd has many that have played it but there are tons on console also and most have prob never even heard much of it before let alone played it. And although i agree that they have classic maps i dont see why they need to be re hashed and done up for the SMART system, if these guys made great maps before then why would they suddenly run out of ideas and start making crappy maps?

I think we just need to push the facts that more maps are def wanted/needed and we for the most part would love to dive as far into the Ark and this story as we can with future DLC.

Also on top of the Maps as they are now with stories incorperated it would be cool to maybe have some other gamemodes similar to the challenges with arena like maps that are bigger and can support a good long 8v8 but without a meat grinder feel. that would be a good place to maybe re make some older maps SD has made before as they wouldnt have to be fitted into the story at all, just the locations.

I would like to see larger maps with more secondary objectives.

Maybe a fight inside a agri-dome or something with a forest in a dome type thing.

It would be cool if they had themed DLC packs and new character gear togo with it.

(Wieke) #11

Yeah a hydroponics based map would be cool.

I’d like to see something more vertical (founder’s tower perhaps). And something involving water/swimming/drowning. Something that emphasizes the whole floating city part of the ark. A map that encompasses it in the gameplay not just the skybox.

(Calelith) #12

What about a map based on boats? like a boat of boat engagement with water death all-around.

(KAS--Will) #13

Any this point, anything that pushes the story, despite there not being much, I say don’t give up on it. Oh, and more from Container City, IE I want one similar to the Cinematic trailer. :slight_smile:

You should be so lucky

(nephandys) #15

We’ve had this discussion in many threads already. Most recently this one: Future Maps. That thread even includes where one individual has created full on maps w/ objectives. Just thought it would be nice to keep these things in one place.

Ignore him, Esso is purposely reviving old DLC threads with inane replies to bump them all to the front page.
