A lot of you guys are asking for devs to add deathmatch game mode. In my opinion it wont happen because the game is so concentrated and balanced for teamplay that I dont see It being very enjoyable. However team deathmatch would be absolutely perfect. It could be like pvp arena in WOW.
And of course there could be other types of matches, because these missions can go dull after time.

I'm thinking in game modes that wouldn't need new maps but could be play on what we already have

there is already capture the point or hold the point in the game(almost all objectives), and also capture the flag(retrieve the brief case or the fuel)
so only deathmatch and team deathmatch are missing...
never the less i would never play those last two even if they impliment them..

so for me it is none

also there is no point in team deatch match , all you would see is heavy medic team just reviving each other endlessly...useless

yeah maybe you are right. It will take a long time until I get bored of the maps and objectives. By then Im sure they'll add new maps or even game modes

so, let me get this right. . . .
within a day of an 'objective based' shooter's release, after its been in development for 2 years as an 'objective based' shooter, and marketed as an 'objective based' shooter, and thats trying to be different from other shooters by being team and 'objective based' . . . . you are asking them to add TDM?

right on bro! ha ha

First of all I dont have the game yet im european. So I can only speculate and think about the game not playing it
But yes, players would benefit from adding a team deathmatch mode or something else. Of course after they patched the game properly

They wouldnt benefit TDM doesnt require teamwork. Brink = Teamwork, so without teamwork....its not brink? I dunno I confused myself D:

Im thinking about an arena type team death match like in world of warcraft. I've played that a few years ago and it would be fun.
You could add a score meter and the goal would be to kill all players in the enemy team. If your team wins you get 1 point. And do this a few times 5-10. Or something similar to this idea.

or, those players that would 'benefit from adding TDM' could go play black ops.
honestly, whether or not you have the game yet is not relative to the satire in my post, nor does your response in any way diminish or dismiss it.

I've ment by not having the game yet that I have time thinking about things like this. And not busy playing.
I dont really get your logic. Are you saying if I want to play team deathmatch go play black ops? What if I want to try TD Brink style?
But honestly having an additional option for an other game mode would be so bad?

remember the games not just about shooting. its about shooting to get to an objective or defending a certain place and helping out your team-mates to get those objectives. this is why we are buying the game so why would we want to play the same old, same old death match game you get on every other fps. if your really obsessed with death-match games are you really sure that brink is the right game for you.

hehe Look mate, you are getting me wrong. I really love the objectives one of the main reason I have preordered. Im just saying having team deathmatch could be fun.
A good team would have a lot of teamplay even in a deathmatch game

You know,i haven't played "stopwatch" yet BUT,those asking deathmatch,can't they just run around and shoot eachother?*Re-thinking* I guess no,they need a leaderboard and k/d ratio to know who wins in the end yes?

I mean the purpose is a TDM with parkour style?

Sorry,i haven't read a thread about what they exactly want.

But yes,the philosophy of Devs with BRINK is really clear,the force u literally to be/play in team.

don't be to hard on him, it is not a big deal if he would like to play death match in brink style...he hasn't being impolite or trolling also.
it is just his thoughts..
even if they add death match doesn't mean you would have to play it..
on the other hand the death match could get many more player to play brink and probably making them shift to play the objective game mode.

Yes,no doubt,i'm just wondering cause i never looked why exactly they want this in BRINK since it's in all other FPS's.

I would't mind,by all means,i'm with u if u want it and they can give it to u

Simply I would just would like to try these traditional gameplay modes through the unique lens of Brink.
+The more things in the game package the better.

good point there my vote is none

Im referring to wow arena again. Because in that case there are not only priest+warrior teams.
you can't simplify it that much

Problem with TDM is, having it would make more people play that instead of the game's objective-based core gameplay, which is what the devs are trying to promote.

Would it make the game more popular? Possibly.
Would it give the game more mainstream appeal? Almost certainly.
Is it a good idea? *#&$ NO!
Would it ruin everything the devs are trying to do? Yes.

If you want TDM, make a private Stopwatch server, invite your friends, and agree not to go for objectives. You'll be timed, you earn XP for kills, and because neither side will progress, the winners will be based on XP (mostly earned by killing when nobody does objectives). EDIT: And similarly, you could allow secondary objectives like Control Points if you want a Domination-type mode.

And as for comparing WoW arenas to Brink, you can't have a character who's effectively a Holy Priest crossed with a Warrior's health and a Mage's DPS - which is basically what a Heavy Medic is in Brink. Add a couple of Soldiers to a Medic-heavy team in a mode like this and you'll be nearly unstoppable.

I was playing freeplay servers last night, Lol don't need death-match mode, half the games I was playing people were playing for themselves, Medics were not healing, Soliders were not buffing, etc. Everyone was basically shooting at each other not finishing the objectives, So I took it upon myself just to do the objectives while the foolios were running around shooting into the air. End of game I was the best Overall player, lol..

Why would you want to take a game that's class-based and objective focused and turn it into every other first person shooter on the market? If you want to play Deathmatch, go play CoD!

you want TDM, go play another game...

I voted control points, but as another poster mentioned, it already sort of is that in some maps. I wouldn't mind some sort of King of the Hill mode, where there is a capture point that either team can grab and hold. Maybe some sort of uber command post that has intel that one team wants to steal, or the other team is trying to destroy to keep it from getting into the wrong hands.

I still think it would be just fine as is, would just like more maps is all.
