If a developer wants to comment on this and confirm that they will never release a TDM mod/whatever for Brink then this conversation could end right now.
In my experience never say never, it will come back and bite you on the arse.
Team Death Match?

Not likely in Brink but is the reception to it is again (like ETQW) that there isn’t enough meat for the average gamer then maybe they’ll add some more mode padding to future titles.
Ultimately if you want TDM or something else start pounding away at Bethesda, they cut the cheques.
Of course if you get it on PC then chances are you’ll see some mod with other modes appear once an SDK is released.

No you’re not. Battlefield Fans understand the difference between conquest and Team Death Match.
Team Deathmatch is a worthless mode, in my well-informed opinion. SD has already taken ample precaution in ensuring that people don’t just try to farm a high K/D ratio.

Why do you want to see TDM in Brink? Do you think it brings something to the table the game would benefit greatly from? Or just throwing in a mode that pretty much every FPS already has, just copy and pasted over, just to say you have it?
Keep in mind that the multiplayer is still story/objective driven. How would TDM fit in the Ark and story of Brink? Do you think the 2 sides want to mindlessly shed eachothers’ blood? Or are just trying to survive the best they can on the Ark?

It really seems that way. I’d like to see a valid argument as to what TDM actually brings to the table though, I haven’t seen anyone place it in the story effectively. Not that I can see how it would be.

Bad idea to implement a team death match in a game like this. Why? Because we all know if the kiddies don’t get their bajillion kills after playing for an hour they’ll hop right over to TDM which ultimately divides the servers leaving one half playing a normal TDM and the other half playing the game how it was meant to be played.

One half is generous! If you look at COD as an example. there’s normally 150,000 or so playing TDM and about 20,000 playing the various objective-based game types. It’s pretty sad.

don’t wanna step on anybodys toes here, but i couldn’t figure out of petrolbomb tom’s posts, that he wants to have a TDM in brink, he seems to be just aware of the possibility that it could be implemented later on due to popular demand.
i don’t like TDM myself and i hope it never makes it to brink, but as he said before you’ll never know.

Well respectfully, CoD is a TDM kind of game with the option to do objective based matches. So it doesn’t surprise me that people play more TDM.

Oh, how did you know? Here is a link so you can all play it too http://www.freeonlinegames.com/game/devils-advocate.html

I care little either way, just wonder why everyone is throwing DM/TDM so much hate and to say something will ‘never’ happen reminds me of the Titanic.

I don’t think anyone stated it will never happen? I think there are just a lot of negative feelings towards it because it doesn’t really add to the story in the case of Brink, which is very story (objective) driven.

TDM does not need to be tied into the story, it is just a game mode. I am sure any Brink lore fanatics out there could forgive it. Although if it does need to be tied in I am sure a ‘what if’ scenario could be introduced.

Everything they have so far is tied into the story though. Why add TDM with no relation to the story when everything else is?
And what “what if” scenario are you talking about? What if the resistance wanted to wipe out the security and vice versa? That’s not the mentality of the Ark. It’s survival, not eradication

There won’t be a TDM for Brink, SD already stated that they didn’t like taking a step back.

I don’t remeber there being a straight forward TDM mod for ETQW.
There was a instant gib mod and I think in pro mod there was a 1on1 mode?
But I guess it wouldnt be too hard to implement a TDM mod in to brink if its the same sort of implementation as ETQW and the tools were released. I’m currently working on a CTF mod for ETQW (more for personal experience of modding / codding).

[QUOTE=CoDBlowsMyLoad;293048]While the thought of team based game play is great (im a Battlefield fan) I do worry the talentless underage halo and Cod idiots will just go rambo and be only interested in Lame stats. Will there be a team death match mode added? this would open up the gameplay somewhat.

No, it wouldn’t.
Most of the kill whoring CoD kids play objective modes because it’s much easier to kill someone who is trying to complete an objective rather than someone who is trying to kill you.
