I can’t believe I am the first person to comment on the vague similarity between the visual style of the new game and TF2.
Will BRINK be strategic?

[QUOTE=BrigandSk(A);294097]Heavies are the vehicles of Brink who can get over obstacles but not climb high walls as mediums can, not even think to climb over very high walls as only the lights can.
Being able to climb (Z axis), is the most strategic feature in Brink.
Until Brink, all other fps games have the movement clunky, all previous fps games… 90% are based on horizontal paths and tunnel like maps with few secondary paths to choose (the 10% are the buildings with a 1st or 2nd floor)
Brink makes the revolution by giving us the chance to explore a new world! Maps where you can now go anywhere as long as you have the physical condition (light, medium).
So instead of having 3 main roads and 6 secondary paths… we can now have almost an unlimited supply of paths at any time… any where!
what a pathetic thread…[/QUOTE]
Unless you have a game like ETQW with aircraft and jet packs and such?
What a pathetic comment …

No, you are not the first to notice ‘some’ resemblance to TF2; but I would argue that this is a completely new design style.

Will you be able to have a strategy in Brink? Yes, you just wont be able to incorporate vehicles and to some extent deploables into that strategy like ETQW. Does that make Brink any less strategic or tactical than ETQW? No it just makes it different. Just look at the bodytypes and the weapons attachements.
In ETQW one of the first things you looked at was class balance. Ok we have 2 soldiers, 3 medics, 1 engineer, 3 field ops and 2 coverts. Ok its not a hack obj so we don’t need that extra covert, we don’t need those field ops either, we could lose those 2 with the covert and have 3 extra medics.
Now it will be ok Class balance + weight balance as well. Those heavies will be great for the slow escort mission but bad for the item delivery obj etc… Then there are the weapons and their attachements. If your going to scrim another team or just play on a pub server then there will be lots to think about to maximise your chances of winning.
