I just recently went and pre-ordered this game because it looks like one [censored] good game

With the whole Resistance and Security factions both doing their job as part of the island and all those different objectives. The whole customization idea is fantastic (I don't know if we can colour guns though... Anyone know if you can?).
Ok now to the point... I know there is already 2 whole factions but was wondering if maybe there could be a 3rd (Maybe a DLC idea for the future).

Call them the (Immigrants) or (Outcasts)

Where they have come from outside of Brink in hope for a better society to live in compared to their old living situation. They could have come from a really rough area so have the skills to fight and completely different weaponry.
Then they find out about the situation with the Security and the Resistance and fight to maintain an order between the both factions so that the place will be put back into place.

I could go on and on about more ideas for a 3rd faction but don't have time atm.
Just want to see what other peoples thoughts are on this?

Well, the pre-orders come with gun skins, so being able to apply skins to weapons seems probable.

Well that's true. Maybe they will allow those creative people in the gaming community to have the options to paint and decal their weapons or even their characters as well.
Even if not at the start of the release but as an added option later on with patches.

Hopefully they will also allow for modding too.

This would only make sense if people were bound to a given faction until maximum level, otherwise I don't see any reason to add this, because there is no real sense of faction loyalty in Brink, the only thing this would add to the game would be a few more aesthetics - and this is exactly the reason why the creators chose not to include female characters.

Yea I guess your right. Cause there is already a hell of a lot to it already so even more would consume more of their time :\

But don't you think adding something like this for a DLC later on, just to spice things up again would be nice? Like once everyones played the game quite a bit. They could then possibly implement a new faction to shake things around.
With women characters i'm sure people will create some mods anyway. Then if there is lots of mods they could do something like they did in Killing Floor and Team Fortress 2 where they added the best community mods into the game itself so that everyone could enjoy it and saved the developers time so they didn't have to do it themselves.

No, I think they have the mix just right with the resistance and Security

If they'd get another faction it would have to be there the entire time, for the sake of the story. Then it could possibly be a group of people who are trying to gain control of The Ark, rather than keeping order or giving people freedom. I don't really want them to add that as it delays the game a lot. If they'd add something like this I'd want to see them adding women.

I recon it's a possibility for the Brink sequel, possibly. maybe the third faction can be from the mainland or an island and they want the ark for themselves??... this icon is irreverent but damn funny... :poke:

Yea. All those points do make sense. I don't want it to be delayed that's for sure. Hence why I said DLC earlier. Then again as Cusmar said, they do have that good balance.
Who knows though... maybe.



Yea a Brink sequel lol
Where s*** has become more controlled then some crazy hokerrs come join the island and want to lead the place so they try fight for it

HAHAHAHAHA That icon is classic!

A 3rd team would be cool for a dlc story later on. But right now all i want to do is play the game. =D why do we have to wait so long

No. I say this because of MAG, where people were either SVER (resistacne type guys) or Raven (Security type guys). That left Valour, who no one really played as, and meant that it was difficult to find a game with that many players.

And the Resistacne are fighting for immigrants and outcats anyway as they are the immigrants and outcasts. HAving a third faction means that all three would have to hate each other, and the only other people on the Ark are immigrants and scientists, who dont know how to fight or dont want to.

@Memeotis, there was a lot of faction loyalty a while ago before brink was pushed back to spring, it split these forums in two aswell. Nearer the time i know people will pick their sides if they hadnt already...

Yea Valor are horrible... I don't think anyone wanted to play as them unless they were forced to

Well ok i see your point. So instead have the scientists being the 3rd faction That way the scientists can hate the Security and Resistance because they are destroying the place and causing Havoc. The resistance could hate the scientists in thought that they were the ones who caused the whole situation from the start. Security could hate the scientists because they are no longer supplying them with resources and are making their job difficult and have also been suspected of committing some sort of treason on the ARK , as their equipment has destroyed things and caused issues.

Then the scientists would have more hi-tech weaponry and possibly decent armour but be slower, unfit, weaker and have less accuracy as they arent trained for War.

So the third faction would pretty much be a normal shooter with a very lousy S.M.A.R.T.? That wouldn't work.

Hahahaha yea guess so lol.

:o DLC wise they could incorporate a new faction but it would be full of Women instead of men... that would also eliminate the whole argument of the sixist based game lol (Even though many other games also only have men characters).

ALSO before anyone says about game delays and extra work taking time... NOTE: I said in DLC (for those who don't understand that... DLC means Down Loadable Content!)

i would prefer just the adding of the "female" option, instead of making a faction wich exclusively supports female.

I get what your saying, but making them an exclusive faction would really change perspectives on things and give the game a different experience to it compared to other games (even though there is so much stuff already which is different)

Reminds me of chromehounds.




This would be a much better solution.




Yes it would add something to the story. Oh they should be pirates attacking the Ark :wink_smile:

The problem is that he is no difference between the Security and Resistance. I meant this in the sense that they all have access to the same weapons and abilities. Its not like the island is divided up into lights, mediums, and heavies.

Yea it would add to it (maybe even sixually ) haha just kidding that would probs up the game moderation rating xD

Yea, I guess so... but you can still get really bloody buff women who would rip you in 2 if you got on the wrong side

I don't really think it would work having a female only faction, seeing as most males will choose a male and lets be honest, females are a minority in FPS.

I wasn't referring to women as a third group aka the Amazons. I would rather see playable females in DLC.

I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to Gunlemming. I completely agree with you.

I could see it working if game was modded to 4 Resistance vs 4 Security vs 8 AI Bots. The human players would have to work against the bots somewhat together while still trying to complete their own objectives

i said no because i think the way they have the game set up right now, it would make no sense to add another faction. you said the outcasts or immiggrants, but that is what the resistance is. they came to the ark hoping for a better world, and fight to maintain the distribution and resources. the security fight for order, so i dont think so.

i agree wih wraith and sniping. women i a dlc would be better. it would be refreshing to see a female fatale whup your ass now and again. it would be the new blood in fps. at least in customizable one.

Not really seeing how a third group could come in.
