Splash Damage

...waiting for whining to begin :eek:\

I notice it now says Fall 2010, instead of Spring 2010\

I have never liked round crosshairs in shooters, a few options to change that would be great(I play on Xbox :( some on give me a good PC please) but I sure my self and any one else throwen off by them would get used to it if they really enjoy the game\

Where exactly? It's still mentioned as Spring 2010 in the video. \

The very first Brink video preview has now been released by G4! Totally awsome! - [url]http://bit.ly/76puH4[/url] ..sooo looking forward to this title! \o/ edit: ouch. it's now been confirmed by bethesda that brink's been delayed 'til fall 2010. now that was a punch in the face on what started as the best brink day in quite awhile. now it's the worst :(\

These questions might have been asked, but Im lazy. After watching a few things I'm really curious about 2 things. Basically you said you have console, so I'm just wondering can you change Field of View and the Bobbing. Cod MW 2 has a serious problem with the FOV. You have tunnel vision. I hope this can be changed. I had tunnel vision watching the demo. Next would be the "bobbing" can you disable it by console also? Bobbing is awful in any game. Just another useless distraction... Atleast can you take off draw gun? \

I am wondering what is going to happen to the lack of HUD, I really like it not being there, hopefully the final one will be very minimalist.\

Wow, nice...I haven't seen this one. And thank you SD for the crosshair, finally I can run and gun some campers. I really hope you guys allow us to cook grenade too.\

Can you select the grenades like a weapon? Holding it in a hand without cooking / throwing it. I guess it doesn't make any difference on the console but for a PC player it makes sense to throw the grenade with mouse1 instead of G / 4 or whatever it is bound to per default.\

Locki did some pretty neat cooks in the latest video.\

No-one's noticed the other trick he does with grenades... :X 2:20. That's all I'm saying.\

Will there by grenade physics like modern warfare 2?\

Locki did some pretty neat cooks in the latest video. Will grenades keep this egg-cooker noise when thrown?\

Well, what do you guys think of it? I think that was something that sweetman threw in really quick just to do *something*, and we've all kind of gotten used to it. but does it sound silly to new ears?\

Is it a conscious design choice? It seems like the modern way to do things as many FPS seem to have replaced the traditional weapon slot system with a *one button for melee, one button for weapon switch and one button for grenades* system. In my opinion the real advantage of the slot system is that you always attack with your fire button (typically mouse1) regardless of whether you have selected a gun, grenade, knife or explosive. I definitely would love to see the traditional system used in Brink but that may just be me because I've always played that way and one never likes to change long time habits.\

No, the platform was hidden behind a wall for journalists so that leads to assume it was running on a big ass pc.\

ah, the rolling down slopes thing. i can honestly say i'm not sure how deep the physics goes on them. they come to rest pretty fast and blow up, and in all honesty, we don't have many gentle slopes in the game that would make rolling down hills meaningful...\

I hear ya, but yeah, it was a conscious choice made early on so that we could get one system working really well, rather than having two alternate one that both work okay. Besides, in our game, you want to have everything doable superquick, with the absolute minimum interrupting of player actions. Case in point, having grenades thrown by your left hand via a button, without every deequipping your gun means the player can be fast enough to shoot his own grenades out of the sky. Would be much tougher if you can do equip and deequip weapons... :)\

How can this be fast paced if u need to give up on movement then?\

Binding this key to a mouse button is waay better. (But that option is available right?) Of course, it's hugely important that players can remap the keys to their liking (on consoles too), so if you don't like 'g' as default (i sure don't), just move it to mouse 4 (if you've got one), or caps lock, or mousewheel click, or whatever you like. i would put it on m4 myself, but i like putting melee there, since that comes up a lot more often than grenade throwing (at least, for me... i suck at throwing grenades :) ) But it's totally up to you.

Because sometimes I don't want to IMMEDIATLY start cooking when selecting a grenade, when I first want to keep an eye on the enemy to where hes going with the nade already in my hand. Hmm, see, the whole point is, with the dedicated button, you've always got the grenade selected at all times. It's instantly available when you want it. So in your example, don't start cooking until you're ready. When the opportunity presents itself, strike! and in the meantime, you don't have to give up your ability to shoot because you've put your gun away to run around with a grenade on screen...

Maybe moving towards the right? If I were to use a keyboard key I would be giving up movement in one direction unless I was born with an extra finger which sadly I wasn't, if bind it to something on mouse like 4/5 having to keep hold of that button with thumb isn't very practical for me and would hamper my mouse movement, eg aim. Having an option for using mouse 1 for firing the nade makes all the sense in the world. I always use my thumb for any keys I can reach in the 'caps lock' row, the 'shift' row, and the 'tab' row, except for the 'Q', 'E' and 'R' keys. It seems much more practical than using my finger that is used for moving. When I press these buttons, I will use my pinkie for sprint/crouch and my palm/lower thumb, to press spacebar for jump, so I lose no movement what so ever. I also keep a separate set of key binds for the arrow keys, since I am a veteran using those mixed with the numpad, and WASD is still fairly new to me.

you could be shooting... i dunno.. i thought that was the point of having gun in 1 hand and grenade in the other. Exactly...this is how it would work with the system SD is using in Brink, the system you guys seem so against. If it was the way you guys proposed, you wouldn't be shooting anything, since mouse 1 would be used for for nades AND weapon firing....you can't press two mouse 1 buttons at once.

Its not about whats efficient. On the contrary, its about players having the ability to switch to certain weapons at specific times and then using them accordingly.\

and not everyone can weapon switch like a pro. Like i said - it would most likely be much more difficult :wink: to shoot your own nade, if you had to manually switch back to your gun.\

I don't know which side of the discussion you're on\

The dedicated button is so we can shoot AND nade AT THE SAME TIME... you keep going back to it all seperate and stuff.... serious :\ (i think...)\

How could you? Apparently more than 4 keys are too much for you to handle...:stroggbanana:\
