The Invasion of the CoD Players !?


(Scip) #1

so, what s up with all these crazy demands/suggestions/ideas lately ?

reminds me when QuakeWars was released and some people wanted to transform it into another BF, including base-raping and overpowered vehicles

this time, some people want transform Brink into another CoD-Clone… WTF :eek:

some of their questionable suggestions:

- headshots should cause instant death

No, thx… headshots arent really hard to pull off, they even happen through random spray n pray and eventually every encounter would result in 60-80% casualties where nobody can be revived. the medic would become almost useless

- buff sniper rifles

WTF… i m so glad that you can move from A to B without getting one shot killed by an annoying sniper who camps miles away

- leveling up is useless because you wont unlock teh uber-imba-mega-pwnage-weapon/perk/equipment

yea, because imba weapons in competitive shooters are fun and a dude who played 10 hours longer than another dude should have an unfair advantage over him /sarcasm :wink:

- level-cap is reached to quickly

seriously, if it was up to me then there wouldnt be any leveling or ranks at all in MP shooters. everybody should have access to all the stuff right from the start. THIS would be fair and balanced!
Leave that leveling stuff to MMOs, RPGs, SP games. you play a MP FPS because it s fun and/or you want to compete with other players, not because you want to reach a stupid rank.
this **** just leads to questionable motivations like stats-whoring. When you play a MP game then all you should care about is the current match, your team and helping your team to win the match. period.

- Give us Deathmatch!

lol… just lol

Ok so I’m gonna say it I quite like the COD games

But i love SD games

HOW CAN THIS BE???

well i don’t go into a game expecting it to be a clone of another game I play
I can manage to take each game on its merits and enjoy them for what the Dev’s want them to be
I will say that the “COD FANBOY” approach to negative posts is a bit unfair as it seems that peeps are having probs, but I know SD will sort them

Oh we had an invasion of COD players with Quake Wars as well. Back then it were the Modern Warfare fan boys and now it are the more rabid Blops fan boys


(thedukey) #4

deathmatch has been around long before COD games, think you need a fanboy check of your own really.

i hate COD games, and id love a TDM mode in this game. well… TDM, CTF, KoTH also. relax big guy :wink:

Tons of ideas on the boards is a good thing as it means the players are still excited about the game. Better to have threads about what they would like to see or want in Brink than to have threads talking about the lag and lack of a lobby system on the 360 or the handicapped AI, right?


(Grampa Murked U) #6

Tissue for your issue? :frowning:


(zerorawr) #7

I think we just need more objective based game modes. Something perhaps similar to Gears of War’s Capture the Leader game mode where one player is some sort of VIP on either security or resistance and you just need to escort that VIP to a certain area or something. Don’t flame me for having the gall to mention a console game, I’m only suggesting a similar game mode.


(DazTroyer) #8

Have to say i agree with everything the OP said, lets just hope it works at least some of the time on Friday.

CoD <-> Kids

(TheBIG_Lebowski) #12

The only thing that they need to do is bring in headshots=death. There should be no reviving from having your face blown off. And your only reply to headshots is no thanx they are too hard to do??? This is so lame, even if it were hard to aim for the head (which it isnt). Why shouldnt you be rewarded for a instant kill if its that hard?


(kamikazee) #13

Because it isn’t fun.

Believe me, I tried to like it when helping out on a W:ET mod and it just kills the mood to have some stray bullet kill you outright.

If you want an explanation for not being killed by such a shot, let the devs invent bullet-repelling deodorant. It’s the future!


(trollface) #14

I’m too tired to get into details but 1 headshot kills have little to do with skill and more to do with camping and/or lotto.

Tripple ding while counterstrafing, that takes skill. Random single headshot? Not so much.


(SmokeCheeba) #15

Agreed.

Apparently my idea makes me a CoD kid, even though I’ve been playing W;ET and the original CoD games before the 360 kiddies were out of gradeschool. Probably also longer than the OP has been playing…


(Scip) #16

you misread…

i said, no thx because they re NOT hard to do

There should be no reviving from having your face blown off

well, when you look it this way then it shouldnt be possible to revive someone whose body is completely penetrated by bullets neither :wink:

This is so true i picked up my copy the day it came out and the reviews here in the U.S were terrible all the threads are how much it sucks and ha ha you waisted your money i guess people do get bitter i cant buy every game that comes out so some games i have to tell myself wont be as good like for me lets say Medal of honour i just bought Halo Reach and BLack OPs was only a couple months away there was no room for me for another first person shooter so i hated on it in my own mind not in the forums people feel bitter after homefront
i think American Gamers are a tad different also not so willing to try new things here people say Reach is trash and im like you people are spoiled !!! so i guess im just wanting to say give it a shot im having fun with it !!! in halo and gears and cod i can be the person who sits back and place my shots to help my team rather than score all the kills and i end up being the guy with good skills but my kill/death match ratio can make me look terrible anways i blabbin and i just wanted to give support cos in the xboxlive forums here its alot of fighting over why are you defending a game that sucks it terrible so with that hope to play with some of you online!!!:smiley:
