Respawn timer

(GreasedScotsman) #61

From what I’ve read, /kill isn’t readily available in the campaign mode (maybe possible but just not obvious?) but it will be there for Freeplay.

Ignore if this has already been emphasized but, unlike ETQW where you could change class and instantly “be” that class at your next respawn, in Brink, you’ll need to visit a command post, meaning the timing of the /kill has a whole new price if you intend to change classes.

And, as been mentioned already, /kill will have the further cost of losing any active buffs.

I still see /kill as being a tool for competition but it will take some time to adjust to some of the differences introduced by Brink.

As for the respawn timer, it is visible when you bring up the scoreboard, in case anyone missed that being mentioned earlier, so it’s just a key/button away. Fine by me.

There seems to be a respawn timer on the scoreboard. At least I think that is what can be seen in the upper left corner at 0:41/0:42 in the latest video entry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIIK3uag8KA

Yeah, saw that too, it’s good enough for me I guess. I only really care about it when I specifically want to know about it.

On PC it won’t affect my movement, unlike the back button on consoles though.

I don’t know if that IS a timer. It just says “8” the whole time he’s looking at it.

9… 8…

No, you’re just blind :stuck_out_tongue: It goes down from 9 to 8.

It’s cool that it’s at least there but I don’t see a reason why it can’t be on the normal HUD. There is so much wasted space on the HUD, you could easily fit one small countdown somewhere^^
Well I guess it’s fine for now and later it will be fixed by Promod or SD themselves (meaning that they give us the option to enable it on the HUD for those who want it to be visible all the time).
