Note: your weakness is your back. Expect me sneaking up on you a lot.....

I will be playing as a heavy for my resistance character , for use as a soldier. I will play as a light for my security character for a fast medic.

what about your other 14 lol

Oh I know mind games will play a moderate part in the Operative's role, but I'm just curious about what all you can do while disguised to help your team aside from killing/mind [censored]. I brought up the whole assassinating thing because I think a lot of people seem to be under the impression that 75+% of the Operative's job will be simply killing people stealthily, which I disagree with.

But anyway, my point was that if my team wins more if I focus more on hacking and spamming radar than if I sneak around and do whatever comes with that, I'll do the former. And that either way, I still think it would be a viable strategy.

I will probably wind up playing a Medium Operative; I've always preferred high mobility to high damage resistance, and I also tend towards skirmishing, sprinting, and sneaking around. I can dig that Brink basically tailored that for me XD

I'm probably not going to run as a Light character for two reasons; one, I heard Light characters can get instakilled by headshots (true or not, I'm not sure, could I get a confirm on that?) and two, I'd hate to be stuck carrying wimpy light weapons all the time. I just gotta run the assault rifles and shotguns. (Yup, I'm a CQC freak.)

You can't OHKO, unless with a knife on an unbuffed Light. Everything else requires more than one.

The operatives arent any more maneuverable, unless you consider the freedom that disguises offer.

A light can only be killed in one shot if its a buffed short rifle to the head, and even then only if they don't have a health buff at the time.

Lights have the (presumably) second best CQC weapons, SMGs. Second only to Shotguns in most games. As a Medium player, you would have to chose either a shotgun or assault rifle as your primary weapon.

or the light rifle

If you're a medium, you can still choose SMGs as your primary weapon

Operatives as a whole, no. Medium, a whole lot so more than a Heavy. I'm not convinced (yet) that I need to jump and climb up things a story above me as a Light and suffer the low health when I can probably find a less direct route and still be able to pull off a lot of parkour with a Medium, who is more resilient and can carry heavier weapons.


"Presumably". We'll all know more as each gun's stats become available, hopefully before release, but I'm willing to wait a couple days and watch the Brink Wiki explode post-release for a better understanding of the weapons. And me, I'm down with ARs and shotguns. If I had a shotgun primary and an SMG secondary, I'd be solidly in my CQC niche, I think. And as a Medium, I could could probably beat a lot of Light builds at that range even we just traded SMG fire, since I can take more punishment.

That is a light primary,



Maybe because you can use it as a secondary.



What happens when someone engages you at range?

RUN AWAAAAAAY!!!

Lol nah. I'll probably carry a balanced set of weapons (in Halo Reach, I prefer DMR, AR, and Sprint [or their Covenant equivalents] as the most flexible and mobile loadout).

Like I said, we'll see more about the weapons later. Right now, it just looks like the Medium build is the flexible enough for a healthy variety weapons, tough enough to outlast Light characters in a shootout, and mobile enough for decent SMART to get me to objectives and combat areas.

Flexibility is my goal in a lot of games; I hate to specialize in one area and be poor in another. I'd rather be a jack of all trades, master of none. The ability to switch classes on a moment's notice in Brink helps a lot with that. I like being able to perform any role in a party; it leaves my teammates/party members to be free to play to their own specialities and I can pick up the slack whenever, wherever it's needed. (In the MMORPG Dungeons and Dragons Online, I'm a multiclassed Elf ranger/rogue/fighter: I can serve as a high DPS combatant, a skilled sneak/spy/ambusher, a trap-detecting and trap-defeating engineer-type, and I can also see hidden doors and enemies.)

In Brink, I think Operative will be my default though; it sounds like the most fun and most rewarding, and the class that plays most towards my style.

ALL THREE, DAMN IT!

There can only be ONE Highlander!

wtf lol

SIgh kids don't even know who the Highlander is.

I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal.

You googl'd that. >_>

definantly

I know who the Highlander is? I probably won't be able to explain him well, I know who he is though. :thumbsup:

I'll chopp yar head off!

OMG NO! Tis a beautiful head.

"Blamdablah dumbblahblah Neeeko" said by little Jacob in GTA IV when he talks to you


Anyways I would go with medium and what ever class interests me or whichever the team needs.

This is very true. :homestar:

Light because I love fast combat and fast movement.
