How do people think the new weapon attachments will work?

New Weapon Attachments

[ul]
[li]Bayonets – Gain the edge in melee combat and cause extra damage with these deadly blades.
[/li][li]Weapon Shields – Take cover from enemy fire and prevent headshot bonus damage behind riot-style shields.
[/li][/ul]

Bayonets I would wager are going to be limited to assault rifles, much like under barrel grenade launchers. In fact, I would guess you cannot have both GL and bayonet equipped at same time.

But Weapon Shields??

I rather hope they are limited to the heavy body type (or heavy weapons), which would give the heavy a bit of a “boost” that some wish it might receive.

Awesome stuff. Level cap goes to 24. Some folks got their wish!

New Player Abilities

* UAV – This stealthy and lethal device allows Operatives to automatically mark nearby enemies on their radar. For more explosive fun, they can even take direct control of the UAV and detonate it near unsuspecting foes.

Loved the Infiltrator’s drone, in ETQW :smiley:

It doesn’t make sense to give them to Mediums and Lights. Although I could see it being added to shotguns and grenade launchers as well.

Body shields? Thank ****, been missing them since early CS times.

:eek: hahahahahahaha hell yes i would rock that.

It might be limited to some of the heavy weapons, like the Gotlung and Chinzor.

But I must admit, I do rather hope this is the little bit of a boost that Heavies could probably use. Not only more health, but also a bit of additional protection (when using particular weapons). Now they could be just a little more scary to meet in a back alley, and can a little better serve as “meat shields” for the rest of the team (while literally holding shields).

I was thinking that shields would be pistol attachments tbh.

(St NickelStew) #10

I must admit, I rather hope not.

Lights are already “over played”, in a sense. It would be nice to add some “cool factor” to heavies.

But we will see.

which will take 10 mins to get from lvl 20 to 24… whoopee.

(St NickelStew) #12

Huh??
Are you playing the same game as I??

(SphereCow) #13

Still, nothing about an SDK. : /

Are you kidding me? Lol :stuck_out_tongue:

At minimum a match takes around 8 minutes if you win during phase one on defense, but then you usually get under 2000 exp

A long match lasting 20-30 minutes can atleast grant you 14000 exp if you’re efficient and all that, going from 19-20 is around 35000 exp?

Yeah… No, that 10 minute thing better be an over-exaggeration :l

I’m fully prepared to TK up a storm any time I get stuck on the <team I don’t like> side.

All stats are client side so you can just hack your xp. SD messed everything up with the characters.

[QUOTE=Seatsniffer;326041]Loved the Infiltrator’s drone, in ETQW :D[/QUOTE] That doesn’t even fit into BRINK. It even says that fuel for security’s helicopters is scarce. :stroggbanana:

I would like to see bayonets on light rifles.

I want a barnett with a baynot so bad. I’d be rolling like it was the 1910s.

(its al bout security) #20

and this shows how grreat and effective it will be [no sarcasm]

i am kinda skeptical doe bayonets need to be on long rifles cause they useless at short range(1-2 shots land but you die) qithh bayoned they become a kill which would be lawl
