Hopefully it will be a fun game if not original, but the actual shooting looks pretty damn stale. | ||

The "acrobatics" look really generic. I hope there's more to it than sliding and vaulting over things. | ||

There were two separate dev teams, one for consoles and one for PC Please don't spout out mindless crap before you at least try to research it. | ||

the reason I like starcraft 2 is because it is essentially the same game as starcraft 1 has been 13 years ago, minus the graphical advancements and the more user-friendly game mechanics. the shooters nowadays are all trying to do something "new" and "revolutionary", while all that true MP fps fans want is a pure FPS without all the gadgets and new stuff. just give me quake2 all over again with refreshed graphics and maybe new maps - enough to get the community rolling and i'll be a happy monkey. i'd still be playing q2 if my local community hadn't died out  anyway, i'm sick of realism and revolutions in FPS games, shit needs to go oldschool fast or it's gonna die out and remain on the console casual level only. | ||

Or did i misunderstand Headshots do more damage, but there is nothing that one hit kills except for very rare cases of someone being buffed heavily and someone else being light and unbuffed completely. There are no snipers; there are guns that are bolt actions or very high powered that do significant damage -- but nothing that you sit back and snipe with. Even melees are not one hit, and if you are using a knife it only does like a third of their health, maybe a half. | ||

They aren't two separate games. It doesn't mean they won't skew design decisions because it has to go on a PC as well. Didn't know I had to "research" something to form an overall impression from PROMOTIONAL material. | ||

Did you just kind of skip over my post and go "It's still a console port" essentially in differnet words? Two. Separate. Development. Teams. They have the same basic engine, but how they balance the game otherwise (IE: Overall gunplay, SMART and parkour physics, class balance, etc.) is up to the separate dev teams. You see, that's what it means when someone says two different development teams. The two won't be DRASTICALLY different, but you can tell one will be a console port and one will not. And yes, I do expect you to research it because there is a little link to fragworld out there that has about 20 pages worth of information on the game that is freaking astoundingly in depth. | ||

That game consumed a lot of my teenage life, and if its half as good, I'll definitely be looking to pick up Brink. Oh, and I loved Mirror's Edge a lot so I hope the platforming is similar in Brink. That game was awesome.... memories <3 | ||

You expect people to read 20 pages of information just to satisfy you for doing "research"? No thanks. You still make it sound like they're making 2 separate games. I'm not sure you know how porting and development works. I'm glad you're super stoked about the game, but just because I think it looks like a console port, you get really defensive about it. It's as if I told you it was delayed another 2 months or something, calm down. | ||

It's as if I told you it was delayed another 2 months or something, calm down. Let's not make this into some back and forth flame war, so let's back up and at least try to keep it civil on both sides first and foremost. Secondly, if someone is making an opinion about something and sharing it -- I do expect them to research what information is given. I thought that was a given, if you wanted a valid opinion you knew what you were talking about. And I do know how a console port works, I can look at many cases ala Crysis 2 for that knowledge. This game is essentially one game, but one version being specified for consoles and one for PC. They have made it very, very clear that you will notice a difference between console and PC versions, and there will be no "port" They were separately developed for PC and Consoles. Are they the same game? Essentially, yes. However, neither will be a port. Besides, it was already delayed for what, a year or two now? I dont think another two months would piss me off THAT much. Don't take it personally, it is just I see and hear people saying the same inane shit (LOL CALL OF DUTY CLONE, CONSOLE PORT, TF2 CLONE, etc.) so I get defensive about it, considering I have been waiting for this game for years now. | ||

Don't take it out on me. My comparison is still valid. It seems you got to the word 'port' and flew off the handle. Sorry you waited so long for this game, might have saved you some time and just played borderlands, crysis 2, tf2, and global agenda at the same time. | ||

And your comparison is just as valid as me saying Battlefield 3 is a Call of Duty clone since it involves realistic graphics, real life guns and conflicts in the middle east and it is also a TF2 clone since it is class based. | ||

http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/company/72432.html Yes. They did Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and then did Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. Both are games that apparently focused on team-based play as opposed to CoD's (and most fps games, for that matter) empowerment of the lone wolf playstyle. The movement system doesn't look super "awmahgawd" amazing - but sometimes things don't need to. Sometimes it just needs to work better than it used to and not get in your way. If it turns out to be fun - fantastic. If not, tough shit. Hope it rocks, but still remaining cautious. Also have to decide between PC (dedicated servers, likely modable for more levels, but also more likely to run into hackers and also have to worry about all the annoying computer shit like appropriate drivers and other annoyances) or PS3 (where my friends mostly game/we've played COD, Borderlands, etc.). | ||

Air strafing was removed after quake 1 to simplify movement.. so your example is kind of contradicting the premise of the argument.. There is, however, air strafing in TF2. I guess I should have seperated Q3 and TF2 with a / rather than "or" so "strafe jumping/air strafing" was more clearly linked to each game. I meant strafe jumping quake and air strafing in TF2. | ||
