We're planning to pin an official FAQ and I was wondering what questions people feel should be answered in it.

I've already got one on a beta/demo and why there are no women in the game. Release date information is also good for FAQs.

If you have any other suggestions please post them here but only if we've gotten an official answer in regards to this.

An overview of all the classes and their abilities. Same with the body types. Weapon lists.

- How the SMART Button works and what body types can do what
-Like Wraith said an overview of the classes and there abilities
- Melee mechanics
- How the MP aspect of Brink will work
- Weapons and what body type can carry what
- Sniping in Brink
- How Headshots in Brink work
- How many characters you can create
- Will there be team death match

just a few I can think off the top my head what people always ask or are always discussing.

Will clan customization features be present?

The key here is short and sweet, I'd also like to target issues which result in a lot of repeat threads. I think an overview of classes and abilities is too much to put in the thread itself but that is something we may be able to link to.

The SMART button is a good and we can probably link to the youtube channel for that

At the moment I have eight questions. The first four have answers including links to the information, the last four don't have answers or links yet. If you have suggestions for additional questions it would also be a big help if you could provide the answer, with a link to the source.

Q: What is BRINK's release date?
Q: What is SMART?
Q: Will there be a beta for Brink?
Q: Will there be female characters in Brink?

Q: Will there be a demo for Brink?
Q: What is the difference between single player and multiplayer?
Q: What game modes will multiplayer have?
Q: Where can I get an overview of the classes and sizes?

Thanks for the help guys

Q: What are the system requirements for pc? (minumum/recommended)
Q: What is the max amount of players? (Pc/console)
Q: Will there be dedicated servers? (Pc/console)
Q: How does the xp system works (maybe you should also make a link for this one)
Q: Will there be any kind of leaderboards?

I know most of us know about this, but a lot of outsiders won't.

I can't put up links to the answers right know, because I'm in a hurry.

Please put something about modding the game. I think there are 3 threads on the front page about it right now.

I just meant to list all the classes and their primary goals.

Q. How does sniping work in Brink?
Q. Are knives OHK?

Also we could steal most of the info from the Compendium of course.

Also I have a thread about each of the classes that lists the abilities they can use. So we don't have to search all over for the info.

Will there be Special or Collector Editions ?
Will the Pre order bonuses aviable in all Countries ?
(The second Question is more personel i think because i only found the pre order bonus from the amazon version on the american site )

I would like to know if there will be a collectors edition myself hasnt really came up or been talked about alot. Is there any information on this?

to make ur discussion of SMART easier to understand to newbies, i suggest using the pics in this thread:
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1111844-questions-about-smart-with-kickass-pictures/page__gopid__16305090&#entry16305090

what'd be the point? there's no pic in there that has to do with smart, it's all about mirror's edge...

all the ones are about SMART. whatchu talking bout willis?

the guy who posted the thread asked if those manoeuvres are in smart, he got those from mirror's edge, and those pics were made by him to explain what he means.
just read his post again and you'll see...

Another question for the Q&A

Q: What about competitive gaming?

An outline of pre-order bonuses and their respective vendors.




When someone gets a chance could you throw up a link for this, I'd be interested to see it. \

What consoles the game will be released on. I know this information is fairly widely distributed but I still see this question on fansites and you can't really say it enough anyway.

Everything but the Wii. :celebration:

Xbox 260, PS3, PC. How hard is that to find? I agree though this should definately be in.

how bout the ones in that dev diary.

Donner, I do think its a good idea to make an FaQ, but you can take a lot of good things from HORSE's compendium. It does answer a lot, and if most people would read it, it would serve as an FaQ.

I understand what your saying, but they want an official one to be pinned. Plus the compendium isn't the best FAQ and If this is done correctly then it will be mainly about Brink gameplay elements.
If they need they can refer to HORSE's compendium and use that information in the FAQ to reduce the work load, but obviously thank HORSE at the same time.

We've tried to keep it short and keep it general. The longer the FAQ is the less likely people will read through it, which goes for the number of questions as well as the length of the responses. There were a lot of good questions suggested here that just couldn't be answered concisely. There were also a lot of good suggestions that have been included - either way thanks for the assistance guys!


In the past when we've pinned stuff like this we've sometimes run in to problems where new users who unfortunately didn't read the FAQ get slammed when they posted threads covered in it. I certainly understand that repetitive topics can grate on regular members but we don't want this forum to become hostile to new members so please be courteous when redirecting.

Well short and too the point. Its at the top of the forum so its good and visible. Now how long will it take until some posts the same stuff we keep getting asked. Anyway can we still point them towards the Compendium?

...
wait, so.... you've got an answer for this "Q: Will there be a beta for Brink?" and not this "Q: Will there be a demo for Brink?"
I wonder at the implications

how about:
Q: How do unlocks work?
Q: What are skills? How do they work? How many do I get? Examples?
Q: How many weapons are there? Customizable? How and what?
Q: How do I get over these anticipation shakes?
