When you throw a Molotov, will it have a fire damage effect or just explode like it does in the videos?

How many types of ammo can the soldier pass out?

Does the scavenge ability allow you to trade weapons or just refill you supply bar?

It only refills the supply bar. You need to pick up weapons yourself.

Ok, I left a question on the Bethesda blog, so I'll quote it and post it here just to be safe;

One thing I'm not getting is that you level up your dude, not your class, and you're expected to change classes on the fly. When you reach level 20 you'll have a character who has 25 perks dedicated to kicking ass as an Engineer, but won't ever change his combat role because he's a really [censored] Medic with only 2 abilities attached to it, so you either stick to your class, or you make every single character an all-rounder, who's not particularly good at any combat role. It defeats the purpose of on-the-fly class switching. Would it not make more sense that every time you level up, you get one point to spend on an ability per-class? Or perhaps you level up classes-per-character, as in you can level each class up with each character.


I added that last sentence in.

Another thing, a lot of people have been asking if you can name your dudes. Can we get a yay or nay?

Lastly, most importantly, Paul Wedgwood and Splash Damage have been pretty damn high up in my "If-I-could-have-one-multiplayer-match-with-whoever-I-wanted" list since Quake Fortress. It would be bloody brilliant if Splammage did a game-with-devs night on Xbox LIVE shortly after release. (preferably a day I'm not working :D )
my GamerTag is THEJORRRG, by the way. Paul, Richard, Neil, Ed, Olivier, Chris, Aubrey, Everyone else, if you're reading this. Just go ahead and err, if you want...ya know...if you're not busy....Add that there GT and I dunno...maybe we'll play Brink some time? Just a suggestion...... :wink:

Lol you sound like you're asking Splash Damage on a date.

But anyways If someone drew an amazing looking archetype and posted it on the Internet, would you consider implementing it in any future DLC.

There's been a closed beta on PS3 (to help work out some PS3-specific issues, supposedly).

They've already announced "no plans for a demo"

I've got a few server and anti cheat related questions as the community I belong to is planning on hosting some Brink servers and I run the anti-cheat team.

Will there be dedicated server support for Linux servers? If so is this going to be available on release day? I have read that there will be, but not officially.

Will there be a server browser or will it be using some kind of lobby system? If it is a lobby system will you still be able to direct connect to a server of your choice?

Will you be able to spectate others players from the first person perspective and record demos without using a third party program like Fraps?

Will there be any in built demo playback facility?

Will there be any in built admin options?

Will the dedicated server files be available to download via Steam?

How is the multiplayer lobby going to work? or is there even going to have a lobby? Do you see the cutscenes before the match starts and when the match ends? and last but not least are you going to have different gametypes on different maps? thanks for letting us have this Q&A :D

Was this answered?

is there going to be a option to swap your controller sticks. i play left handed meaning i aim with the left and move with the right. more games nowadays are doing but there are some like socom and turok among others that don't. so is this game going to allow people to swap the sticks functions.

That was just a public demo and they did that so people could just jump in right away instead of just making everyone select body types. At least as far as I know that's why they did it.

It's a teen rated game so cursing is at a minimum.

@jdemon989 Controlls are fully customizable on Consoles as well as PC

Sorry for answering some peoples questions but as busy as Paul will be reading these questions, I want to eliminate some of the already known answers to make it easier for him.

Sweet thanks for the answer and I WILL be buying this when it comes out. Also I just had a thought I haven't seen anything on this but is the game going to run @ 60fps in multiplayer or just single player.

1 Will guns and knifes do the same amount of damage regardless of size? So Mini gun melee= SMG melee, and heavy hitting with a knife=light hitting with a knife.

2 Can soldiers activate satchel charges when they are knocked down or incapacitated?

3 Can disguised operatives hack Command Posts or do objectives without losing their disguise?

4 When knocked down do you use your primary or secondary to shoot with?

5 Since their are no canned animations can I melee or shoot in the middle of a reload?

6 Do all weights slide the same distance and does the height you jump from help determine the slide distance?

7 If you had all three weights lined up on a 100m track when the light crossed the finish where approximately would the other two weights be?

8 How many abilities are there because at first I heard it was 58, but in the ability previews on facebook I count only 52.

9 If say a light operative disguised as a heavy what parkour moves could he do, light ones or heavy ones?

10 Can lights get to places that other weights can't or can they just get there a faster/easier way?

11 Is there a maximum amount of health a character can have? For example can a heavy have battle harden, an improved health command post, and the highest level health buff from a medic all at the same time?

12 Finally, can you release game play vids that show a full game cut scene to cut scene for every class? Even if all the vids where from the same game it would be fine.

Thanks in advance! :thumbsup:

Women were not included due to time and resource constraints. Splash Damage stated they would rather have full customization for one gender rather than have to split it for two
