Splash Damage

That videogamer.com interview is great, I have watched a few others but this was easily the best

Bulgarian, really? I'll update the original post, thanks for the tip :)

The dynamic FoV Rahdo explained with his empty (how many did you have there lol) bottle sounds too good to be true.

When Rahdo talked about the FOV, mentioning the blinders, he was talking about the console versions with a fixed FOV right? Or will this dynamic FOV feature rule out adjusting FOV on pc? Just checking :)

- engineers upgrade the power of his teammates weapons. I just hope it does not majorly slow down the gameplay (like taking 10 seconds to apply it to somebody) \

Nope, not at all. All the buffs are doable on the fly, on the move. :)

Some games simply make the arms holding the gun move up and down, which gives very weird results if you're trying to look around the corner. I'm still trying to figure out how a FOV headbob would work, instead of up and down, does the camera move back and forth instead? And I also just realised that the multi/singleplayer nature of Brink will probably automatically solve what I think is the biggest issue in the ET series. In both QW as in W:ET, people preferred to play on offence. As you said, people want to be the hero and a mission based multiplayer game still gives people the chance to be the hero. Getting all the objectives done as fast as possible becomes a sport for the experienced player. However, when people chose a side before they chose a map, they won't have a choice in defending or attacking and will have to put up with whichever role they're set up with. This means that all the experienced players can't all flock together as attackers and 'show those noobs how it's done'. I really think it's awesome, as this also means that people who do care about playing longer matches, like me, aren't always feeling obliged to pick the defender class. Perfect. This only leaves us with steamrolls within match. QW already adjusted respawn timers according to how well teams were doing to give some feedback to the balance of a match. I think this can be extended further. The game can also recognise when objectives are completed 'too fast' and delay the time between the next objective accordingly. Also the other way around, if one team takes too long to complete an objective, the next objective can appear faster whenever they do manage to complete the one they were stuck on.

as i'm a very good candidate for motion sickness, i hope you can turn that bobbing off. or at least it gets tested/adjusted in a way that it doesn't cause motion sickness. if you want to see a really really REALLY bad way of using bobbing, play the new wolfenstein singleplayer. it's impossible for me to play that game. the intensity of bobbing is insane there.

videogamers.com was a great interview. Best I have seen yet (and I think I have watched 90%). Question: Can you see your own feet and arms like you can in a game like Crysis?

Nope. We talked about it, and did some early tests, but decided fairly quickly that it wasn't worth the immense amount of extra work it takes to make that stuff look good. If you're busy looking at your feet, then you're not really playing the game... :D

Thank god. That is so annoying... I mean, I like the "flavor" it brings, but when it comes time to just "shoot stuff" as you guys like to say. Well it gets to be a little too much and you could not toggle it off in Crysis (from what I know). Thanks

Makes me wonder if there will be mirrors or at least player reflective materials in the game.\

You will see them in the introducing and ending ingame cutscenes at the beginning and end of a map. :)

I think that would be far from as exciting as seeing yourself in action :P\

You can see yourself die.

I hope engineer upgrading teammates' weapons doesn't mean his abilities are all over the place.\

This is a valid concern, and one we keep in mind as we're working on class abilities. I think it's fair to say that all 4 classes have a 1) core way to interact with other players and a 2) core way to interact with the world. This really defines what the class is all about. And then as you level up and buy new abilities, these are flavours you can add to spice the core up...
