Why good players will disable SMART(orly) within first 5 mins

"…These SMART controls work by having the player hold down the sprint button and the game figuring the best way for your character to proceed…"http://www.cheatcc.com/pc/rev/brinkpreview.html

Default Xbox 360 controls:
LB = sprint/SMART (Horse’s Brink Info Compendium)


(badman) #22

This is correct. You tap the button to go into a standard sprint, and hold it down to let the game know you want SMART over/under stuff.

[QUOTE=gunzo;259606]So much anger. Please keep my thread civil.

DarkangelUK: Why are you making up a scenario and claiming its mine? Selective reading does not help you. I am trying to let you guys know in advance, so you can say when the complaint threeads come raining in that Gunzo already knew this and recommended that you turn it off.

Thats how nice i am.[/QUOTE]

Sprint away from enemy to recover…oops accidentally start climbing wall,
You ran straight towards a wall (unless you have incorrect preconceptions of how SMART works)
shot in the butt.
You think they can shoot around corners Wanted style?

That’s why I’m claiming it’s yours… because it was yours.

You’re a feisty one aren’t you, got something to prove m8? You’ve already been told why it won’t happen… you have to execute the smart process.


(Seyu) #24

Also, can we assign sprint and SMART function to different keys on the keyboard?

Edit: On second thoughts, I don’t think it’ll be practical.


(Gogeku) #25

Badman please tell me it will be possible to separate the SMART and Sprint key on PC?

DarkangelUK:

Well you dont nessesarily have to be in someones view to run away from them do you?
There are an infinite number of variations for the intentionally vague scenario i described, lets not get into detailed ones made up by your own mind, but one of mine. For instance, i could have ran around a corner, or strafed around one while holding shift and reloading. And my target could have been really close, while my reload animation is cancelled by an unwanted animation, and i’m flatfooted because of the interrupted clibing animation, he kills me. You could argue that i need to be looking up to climb the wall, then i’d say what if i was? What if i took a quick peek at whos shooting at me from above. See what im saying? You need to be able to do more than one thing at one particular time. Why not have the smart button be a seperate button?

I’m a fast player. You wont know what hit you. And that is part of why you cant have nice things.

For me to be awsome like that, i will be pressing keys to the left and right, sprinting and doing all kinds of finger acrobatics, and chances are i will eventually end up climbing when i should be killing you for the 112’th time. And thats where the option to “turn it off” comes in. As i recall the devs said you can turn off the automatic smart button. That is what me, and the other monsterrific players will do.

Finally, i’m not fiesty at all. I just like to think i’m a very good player. Why does that bother you so much. Maybe you’re a bit feisty eh?


(gunzo) #27

I’m really hoping thats customizable.


(tokamak) #28

Soo smart is a toggle?


(gunzo) #29

lol, no.
It’s a press and hold apparently.
Sprint is the same button but toggle.


(tokamak) #30

Oh right I fumbled on my words, I mean, sprint is a toggle. Seems odd.


(.Chris.) #31

Are you from crossfire by any chance?

Boasting about how awesome you are and babbling on about how no one understands the ambiguous points you are trying to make isn’t likely to help you get the answers you require, in other words calm down a little :slight_smile:


(gunzo) #32

Hey no harm in boasting a little. Im actually being modest in comparison to my skills.

Also, i was providing the answers in this case.

No need feel threatened yall, seriously. Just chill. And stay on topic chris.

[QUOTE=badman;259627]This is correct. You tap the button to go into a standard sprint, and hold it down to let the game know you want SMART over/under stuff.[/QUOTE]Can we separate the two? Depending on game the I sometimes prefer to hold to sprint, and then use SMART on a different button altogether.

[QUOTE=gunzo;259640]DarkangelUK:

random babblings over a poor scenario[/quote]
uh, yeah sure… your point was still invalidated so that rambling was pointless

I’m a fast player. You wont know what hit you. And that is part of why you cant have nice things.

You’re as fast as the game allows.

I’m quite aware of… err… acrobatics. I’ve been defragging on Q3 for 10 years, tricked on RtCW, ET and ETQW. Bar air/ground accel in Q3, to a lesser extent RtCW/ET, great limitations and air drag in ETQW… you won’t be going faster then me :wink:

Finally, i’m not fiesty at all. I just like to think i’m a very good player. Why does that bother you so much. Maybe you’re a bit feisty eh?

You’re a loud mouth, and generally those types need to talk themselves up rather than display it.


(gunzo) #35

So this is all about your insecurities then DarkangelUK?

Please stay on topic and refrain from personal insults.


(DarkangelUK) #36

The topic has been covered, and ended before it began because you failed to research your query and done the usual “lollolol i’ll post a megawesome thread lololol”.

I’m curious what I’m insecure about, could you enlighten me? I’ve generally found that people that need to play themselves up are the ones that need convincing of themselves… proving me right so far.


(gunzo) #37

Oh, so you’re right just because you say so?

I did my research, which along with simple logic contributed to the destruction of your arguments, which lead to your personal insults out of rage.

I coach Chris Hitchens in argumentative reasoning so don’t see it as a defeat.


(madoule) #38

gunzo, please do yourself a favor, lean back and look at your posts here. no offense mate but you do have to realise that you’ve put yourself in a situation, which may no be the best to educate darkangel, a senior member of this forum, on nettiquette.

you’ve been called on your fiesty-ness several times, that has to make you think, doesn’t it?


(gee666) #39

Seriusly gunzo stop before you do yourself more damage


(Crytiqal) #40

lol, I am gunzo, I am soo awesome and modest

/FAIL

Would love to see him in BRINK so we can all tbag him and shoot him in the but while he tries to climb a wall :smiley:
