I never said I want Brink to be like COD... dont get me wrong I like COD but Im not a fan boy.. Im more into games like MAG were you need teamwork to win.. I just would like to make sure if I have no back up and I hit a corner and find myself in front of more then one enemy I can put up a fight
It is about equal Wolf:ET, you'll empty most of a clip to kill someone with an SMG. Technically about 5-8 bullets will kill most players, +1-2 for a heavy, -1 for a light, +1 per buff for the first three health buffs. So if you are looking at a buffed up heavy with an SMG 12-14 bullets may kill with bodyshots. The slower fire rate weapons might drop a guy in 2-3 hits. Also engy weapon buffs help counteract medic buffs.
No game has realistic guns, because that wouldn't be fun. One hit anywhere would take a player out of the game and you would have incredibly defensive play because making an offensive move is just too risky.

If you want something team and objective oriented this game is very team oriented.
