Nope. Quick reload. I usually get +67xp to be exact. Sometimes 72

I meant the soldier ability that increases the amount of ammo you give out, not your gun attachment. That alone (iirc) is 60 xp, which is what you are probably seeing. If a person has 2 or 3 bars missing, I normally only get about 30 xp.

(Sorry for derail, carry on )

Oh my mistake. Not sure I have too many characters to keep track, lol

*Hands topic reigns back to previous owners*

Wat? I always only get 75xp for handing out ammo. :blink:

And the medic gets 75xp for buffing, but 75+100xp for successfully reviving someone.



"Best Overall" as Operative only is your challenge for bragging rights.

I know this isn't really related to the topic at hand, but I did find a way-too-easy way to level up my main when suddently my g'friend called in right in the middle of a solo game... Parking a disguised operative by the objective (and keeping an eye out for your double, of course) is the easiest way, ever, to top the scoreboar... On some missions I could easily end up with >12k xp whereas the nearest medic was around 7k...

Of course, I'm talking SinglePlayer here (playing on PS3 means I've HAD to play singleplayer for a week...)

Exp means nothing, its only purpose is to get to lvl 20.
Scoreboard means nothing as i can kill people all over the map and buff constantly but still lose cause i did not kill that one hacker that needed bringing down.

It is a TEAM game, no dikeus Longus discussions, no "i am awesome" scoreboard screenshot avatars. You know the only valid indicator that you and others have kicked ass ? Your TEAM won.

Thanks

Exactly, the OP lost all credibility in his thread when he stated buffing did very little. OP sounds like one of those FPS players who likes to top the scoreboard for his team, but doesn't care if the team wins or loses. It's obvious he purchased a game that goes against everything he claims to like. :thumbsdown:

I've done it online.

The guy with 3 XP less than me was the other team's Operative.

Tight game, great fun. He was a NASTY opponent to be up against.

as a medic you want to try to buff the light body types first. then matabolism.

i tend to give heavies buff & adrenalin so everyone can cover behind them

Have you ever played BC2. That has objectives but also scores K/D. Now if you play that game you will see plenty of people padding their K/D and totally avoiding the objectives case in point look at the average wookie (sniper) they will sit on the hill all day contributing about zilch to the team.. K/D just ruins objective based gameplay. There are too many people that wont go for the objective because it might ruin their 2.0 average etc. K/D is for games like COD where killing is the main priority. In this game it is about team work and which team won at the end.

Its a lot easier to kill those 3 people if you are fully buffed and they aren't.

I haven't seen many objective based modes in other games that have really implemented a buff option.

+1

snipers especially ruin the experience for the rest of us.

i dont mind people who are actually on the front line. i was a front line medic and still got a k/d of 3 in bc2.

but brink doesnt need to be ruined by k/d [censored]s. its 100% objective. sometimes i guess my k/d in the odd map in brink must be like 1/10 lol as im doing the objective or trying to keep the front line alive etc.

i dont care how many times i do. but i know my win/loss must be about 3or4:1 or something, thats the most important factor

I've topped the boards plenty of times playing as a medic. Not just the xp board, "best medic", "best overall" AND "most kills". This means nothing if I see "Mission Unsuccessful" at the end of the game however.

Exactly, but, at least you know you did your part lol. Whatever team you were on obviously didn't pull their weight.

I do it almost every game. Once you understand the system, its not hard to game it. Ultimately, I try to be as effective as possible. My operative is 20. I don't need to constantly disguise just for points.

There are always about 4 or 5 good posts and then about 15 wth people that completely misunderstand or can't read the OP. It's as if this forum has trained robots to repeat certain things in every thread.

Isnt there like 4 posts that are exact clones of this? if not more.

You want to get applauded for your kill death ratio, then go play a diffrent game.. People who wanted a game which does not applaud E-peen size have been waiting for a game like this for ages.

While the current Scoreboard is not perfect It is far better then having a KDR scoreboard that does nothing else then to encourage people to spend theyr buffs on themselves rather then theyr team.

This is a Objective based team shooter.

Not a Wtf Rambo Rush Ninja Assasin One Man Army Killing Spree Game for Dummies.

You want that kind of game? well theres dousins for them allrdy take your pick.

Besides there is allrdy a award for most kills, I see no reason why you would need more ego boosting then that.

Like I said... did you even read my post? Was I begging for KDR? Also is it not possible to wanna play this game and want a KDR also?

An excellent post and the best answer yet to the OP - adding K/D stats would discourage people taking the vital support roles. As an example, in Container City, many of the more TDM-based team mates I've had are completely oblivious to the fact that clearing side routes totally changes changes the game by removing choke-points and spreading out enemy coverages - I also can't count the number of times that I've seemed to be the only player clued-in to the fact that the bot only moves if you stay nearby!
You SHOULD be rewarded for remembering the point of the mission and for showing some imagination in helping your team. The Operative, in particular, can be massively helpful without actually shooting anyone, through comms hacks and sneakily re-taking CPs whilst disguised, whilst Engineers are really helpful on defence, especially through well-placed turrets that can disrupt the enemy's route back to an objective, choke point or ongoing firefight, which can be helpful for buying time to hack objectives or set charges.

Players adopting the tactics I've discussed would appear, on a K/D marking system, to be a bit crap, when they have, in fact, been vital to team success. K/D scores display PERSONAL achievement, which is utterly beside the point in a TEAM based game. I love the fact that I can hit the leaderboards under Brink's system by playing to my class, by being the man who blows both the pillar AND the blocking bridge - regardless of how many enemy I did or didn't drop in the process.
