Uav

(tangoliber) #41

When the UAV is placed on the ground (not flying), how does the radar marking work? Does it have a range, or does it have to visually spot the players?

If I hide it inside the bar counters in Hennesey, will it mark players as they run past, even though the counter is actually marking its view?

Btw, its interesting that you can’t place it in some good spots that would be good for hiding it… but if you place it on the ground and fly it to those spots, you can set it down there. Also, it can climb up the Kiosk onto the second level in Resort.

Please please for lord’s sake stop wanting everything to be like ETQW !!! this is a different game, and I expected different drones.

This one is like moving 3rd eye cam, becaue it detects enemies on the radar, and can be put somewhere by driving it there. Ok it doesn’t fly high, but you can “jump” with it so you can still avoid obstacles or hover on ledges to get to hard places. You can also simple hide it in the bushes.

Use it like it’s meant ot be, because unlike ETQW here you don’t have time to fly your drone around all the time. It’s more packed, smaller teams, and you have less time.

You mean aside from being black:wink: No, seriously, thats intentional. My Mass Effect, Fallout 3 and APB(then) chars look way more like me. Especially the ME guy. I’m too egocentric to play someone else but me. I’m not so much an alter ego guy. I’m fine with myself.

@Frost, your def a more chill dude then I expected, we got off on the wrong foot months ago. You have a sweet ass hobby, knew a few people that flew gas powered choppers back in the day. personally I prefer things I can ride myself (Have a quad bike, ride it often around my area).

And when are we gonna get a didicated game mode for racing UAVs and battling with them, this needs to happen LOL.

When we get the SDK. This mod would be some great to have :smiley: Though we could just open a server and say: These are the rules!

Funny funny but being black myself that one was dead in the water lmao but seriously dont know many people who like uav’s as much as i do and it seems you got me beat man. And a mini game mode for the uav would be nice.

Where do you get your parts man?:stroggbanana:

Yeah, certainly. I was just too upset then. The first 10 days after the game was shipped I couldn’t play it !!!at all!!!. Hardware(ATI) probs.
After I solved that I discovered that the game was quite different from what I’ve expected it to be. Like, entirely. So I was quite charged.

But I’m still of the opinion that they shouldn’t have promoted the SP in the way they did it. This led me to totally wrong expectations. They should have announced Brink as an “objective based MP game with a loose campaign, that can also be played with bots, in coop and in some variations of the above”.

I allways wondered why they didn’t show us SP footage in their promo-vids. They never said in one of them(vids) that, “what you are seeing here is MP, BUT!!! in SP it looks exactly the same”. So when I received the game and could play it a couple days later I had the feeling that half of the game was missing. I was quite eager to actually see/play the SP and then it slowly dawned on me, that I allready saw the SP in the promo vids. And I thought, what the…, thats it? All the fuzz for this?! Oh, MY, GAWWWD. I expected them to invent the wheel anew. But a simple botmatch with drop in/drop out option for human players and some admittedly nice intro and outro vids wasn’t exactly what I’ve anticipated. But the lack of a traditional SP was one thing, the influence of the SP on the MP was another issue. I usually play SP games not more than 1-3 times, but in Brink you play the entire campaign of one faction every evening. If you are not used to this It appears quite repetative after a while. But I finally got used to it and I became friends with Brink. Its like in a forced marriage with a women you’ve never seen before.

First; tension, eager anticipation, expectations.

Second; lifting the veil, huge let down, deppression, hatred, anger

Third; second look, hmmh not so bad, quite nice actually, still not utterly happy

Fourth; In the end I have no choice and its all about personality, isn’t it? And she has a lot of it. And more of her hidden beauty comes out every day.

Fifth; let others have their superficial beauties. I don’t care, I don’t want anyone else.

Oh?! Hihi, being of darker complexion made me a little more suspcious than I should be.

I received the parts for my big helo from several german manufacturers(Vario Helicopter, Jet Cat). But even though it looks cool, its too expensive and time consuming to build up and maintain such a monster. The turbine alone took me 3000 Euro and the fuselage, the rotor-blades and all the spare-parts took further 3000 Euro. But that didn’t include the RC-parts(servos, receiver, gyroscope, wiring). Also not included was all the stuff to actually build it up(color, resin, scaleparts, and and, and). And most important, there was a huge lack of know-how on my part(actually no-know-how). From the allready invested 6000 Euro It would have still taken me further 3000Euro to have everything I need. But I had no cent left and after some financial problems I decided to sell it.

The T-Rex on the other hand is just a pure pleasure in every concern. Easy to build up, easy to maintain, not too costly(800Euro), high performance components. Replacement parts cheap and available, great flight characteristics, and, and, and,… It should to be available in your region, no matter where you are from. Its a very common heli model. “T-REX 450 SE V2”, from Align". Search for it on Ebay or just google it.
