Things Brink desperatley needs

(Hurlbag) #1

I aboslutley love this game, but there are many aspects that really let it down.
Few things I feel this game really needs (or atleast should have had on launch)

Voice radial menu

Like in games such as Battlefield 2/2142, Team fortress 2 etc. Not having one can be extremely frustrating for things like calling for a medic, or ammo resupply etc - having to pray that your teammate soldier who runs by will actually fill you up from 0 ammo (many times they just jog on about their own business). I mean hell, most of the voice acting is already in place for this type of thing.

Changing bodytype without having to exit server

I like being a fat guy. Many people claim it’s gimp but I feel it has its advantages, however one does get tired of being slow and somewhat immobile when it comes to climbing obstacles, so having to leave the server to change body type is rather annoying. I understand if they don’t want you to change while a game is in progress, but atleast an option to switch after the round ends?

More maps… just 8?

I do love the maps, some are awesome to play on but some are also quite bad - impossible choke points and whatnot. The fact that you play through the campaign (in a matter of hours) then decide to go online to play… the same maps. I was pretty shocked at this, only having 8 maps of which were all used in single player is a joke.
I hope to god we get a big map pack within the next few updates, not one or two at a time otherwise they will get played out and get bored of quite rapidly.

Party system for friends/ingame friends list

I’ve seen this mentioned alot, so I feel the need to mention it again. Trying to join games with friends often results in being placed on other teams. If we had a lobby system where we all joined at once, that would be great.
Would also be really useful if friends ingame had a different name colour, like green so you can identify them easier.
I’ve also heard of this mysterious ‘Fireteam’ that apparantly is like this, but it’s nowhere to be seen in game for me.

Most importantly is the constant bluescreens/crash to desktop bug, but i’m pretty sure that’ll be fixed in the coming patch?

This isn’t a whine thread, again I love this game to bits but I hate to see it lack the features mentioned above that I feel are so important in a team FPS.

agreed agreed and agreed

they need to add

  1. the ability to call for a medic (only usable when below 50% health), it automatically calls when you are down.

  2. the ability to call for AMMO when you are at 0, in either your pirmary or secondary weapon. (you cannot call for ammo, if you have remaining rounds in both guns) -To avoid spamming

  3. better chat, it seems to either not work, or people could simply not be using it, but WTF

  4. make the objective wheel more clear, stop the Defend the door crap, and say DOOR NEEDS TO BE BLOW UP BY A SOLDIER.

half the players (if not more) have no idea what to do in game.

  • longer defensive spawn times
  • more damage for headshots
  • less spread
  • demos
  • first person pov spectating

Good points, the longer defensive spawn times would help immensely with the unbreakable choke points.

Rocket launcher

(Kurnuttaja) #6

Predictable recoil for assault rifles (only vertical).

Party System in Brink is Fire Team. And I actually like how the Fire Team works better. It is setup for random people to Create a Party which is better within the framework of Brink’s mechanics as a team-based shooter. More maps would be awesome.
