I wouldn't call it a trend, I've been switching C to ctrl for as long as I can remember, it must be an in-joke at this point.Captain Fish said:

Game is running at 70+ fps now and no longer crashing to desktop. Got on a bad ass security team for most of the night and we just rolled resistance map after map, everyone sticking together, really great team work, was beautiful. Jumping over railings and shooting people in the face, sliding around corners to safety, fucking love this game. So glad I decided to ignore all the nay sayers and picked this up.

It's not rocket science my friendMost of us grew up holding shift all day long to walk in cs.
Pc gaming may have a few quirks to it, but a lack of buttons is definitely not one of them.
Anyways: pinky for modifier/sprint/walk depending on game type, thumb for jumping, the other 3 for movement.
Bind each to whatever is most comfortable.
If you are having difficulty with keybinds in shooters then you are doing it wrong, in rts games, rpgs and mmos you usually have 30-50 keybinds (using ctrl alt and shift as modifiers obviously) and having that many still allows for 100+actions per minute.
I don't get how people complain about buttons on PC gaming. For example, In World of Warcraft I have the following keys bound to abilities.
q,e,r,t,f,c,v,x,z, three mouse buttons. Then, I have them all bound again using shift as a modifier.

Played this earlier.

I tried that, but I'm CONVINCED that it tends to cut off after you run 10-20 feet. I assume it's because I slightly brushed a wall or something, but it seems too unreliable for me to not hold it in. Also, I think you don't jump over walls if you are doing the toggled sprint, unlike holding the key.Teknoman said:
I feel like part of some of the times I lost challenges were due to SMART pushing me over walls I didn't want to go over when I was trying to sprint, so I dunno. I'm also still really bad at trying to figure out the wall slide timing/aiming (especially at the 20-40 fps you may get in game).

In MMOs my binds are using 1-5, q,e,r,t,f,z,x,c,v and shift, alt, and ctrl (and combinations of shift, alt, and ctrl) for a gajillion binds. You couldn't pay me to change from it.

I haven't had lag on the 360 version in like 24 hours. I don't know why. I have only been playing 5 v 5 because I like it better.
Oh and when the game is running properly its amazing. Console people were starting to open up today and shouting for a rez or ammo or whatever so you can work better as a team. It was a good day with this game.

Just had a match on the GAF server where the only GAFfers were me and EasyTGT. Not much pretty.
The pubbies just kept racing over to the objective and being killed instantly, and I was the only medic in the damn game. It was good for getting a buttload of XP as a medic but not for getting anything done. Plus no one was building turrets and so we were constantly surrounded by snipers playing Call of Brink: Modern Frustratingfare up on the second floors. Half our own guys were following suit, and the whole thing devolved fairly quickly. If we had only had a second medic I think we could have done something but we were up to like 5 operatives, so all anyone did was spawn, make a beeline to go hack a thingy, and die. No real side routes, no defenses, not a whole lot of teamwork.
I do give the game credit for this, though: Even when we were getting fairly handily roflstomped, I was still having a ball sliding around rezzing people and blooping grenades up to the MG guys and snipers up above. This has the TF2 element of being good fun even if your team's face is repeatedly being pounded into the ground.

Passwording is the only option, but putting the password in a place gaffers can get to but lurkers can't is the problem.

A simple fix to that would be to put a password on the server and put the password to the server in the first post on this thread so only Gafers can access it.Teknoman said:
Blizzard said:
I'm surprised you can run 10-20 feet without knowingly bumping into anything. You won't jump over walls or slide if you're just doing regular sprint, but you can hit jump to get over them whether you're sprinting or not.
When I'm worried about timings, I tend to tap the button to start to sprint, and then when I get to the obstacle I hold down the button for a second or two to let SMART do it for me, and then go back to regular sprinting.
I hate holding SMART during combat while dealing with lots of nearby crates. Will almost always get you killed. It's actually something the Heavies have an advantage in; they can't climb over anything that they have to reach their arms up over for, so there's no chance for time consuming mistakes.
You're on 360, right? You lean by holding down the Iron Sights button and then hitting left and right on the Dpad. It's something you really have to think to do as the slightest mistake will cause you to waste a pip.XeroSauce said:
Isn't there a way where you can post the password on GAF, but only people who have the ability to quote (Registered members, instead of lurkers) can view it. I have seen another thread use this technique, not sure how to do it though.
But we could put the server password like that if somebody knows how.

Yeah, you hide it under the email tag:

Hopefully people realise there are objectives in the game soon.
Team mates typically just stand around in one part of the map shooting a few enemies, while the other half of the enemy team is completing the main objective and I'm the only one trying to stop them.
Also, very often no one is the class needed to complete the main objective so I find myself switching classes all the time even though I have no skills for them.

I just got to try it for a couple of challenges. It looks and plays pretty average. My cousin has told me that the lag is pretty horrible and the story is just one objective after another.
I also noticed the texture pop in pretty quickly. It's a shame that this game turned out the way it did. It seemed very promising when I first saw the pics on gaf a while back. I'm sure I'll pick it up for myself down the road, but the initial experience may put a lot of people off...

I'm sort of okay with that. I mean it totally sucks that it's not receptive to newcomers (which I don't fully buy, since beyond a few hours of ET:QW this is my first Enemy Territory-esque game), but I have a feeling the best players for the game, as far as playing alongside them, anyway, are those who already know what Brink is coming in.
Not to sound elitist or anything. It's just that Brink bills itself as an accessible shooter and a lot of people could, on first glance, see it as a deathmatch-y game what with the CoD like weapons and the customization and such. But the reality is it requires a very specific, complex approach that is a bit ruined by people playing it like UT or Quake or something. If people go in expecting that, I'd rather they be turned off and go back to playing the games they want to play, since if they try to play brink like a deathmatch everyone has less of a fun time.
Well, that's good news. Means I can play longer! First time I have to pay for maps in Brink is also the time I quit playing Brink.derFeef said:
Too bad they couldn't make it an actual PC game and allow user-created maps as well as official maps, but I guess they need to exploit the fools somehow.
Yep. Was happening to me last night. And, later, when I finally got in, one team had 8 people, and the other had 5? And no one could switch because the server wouldn't let them.Kyouji said:

In mmo's my binds are µ del num 0 1 2 3 4 5 7 and five extra buttons on my mouse including scrollwheel tilt left and right as buttons (a must have with this set up)
All with control and shift modifiers obviously.
I play wasd in all other genres, but I just can't comfortably use enough surrounding keys with wasd for mmos.
This set up has prevented me from getting carpal tunnel.
If I play with wasd and 1-5 + surrounding keys I always get wrist cramp in mmos because of the heavy key spamming. (especially wow arena back in the day)
No such problem with my weird set up, it's comfortable.
I actually had to buy a mouse with the wheel tilt option to have enough keysbinds for wotlk...
Seriously though, no amount of advantage is worth carpal tunnel, let alone just having 2-3 more keys at my disposal with wasd.
Good games tonight. We played with someone hosting locally (I think?), and it was janky, maybe 20-40 fps depending on the map, but the neogaf server seemed to be hitting 30-50 fps or higher. I think I'm running high textures, everything else low.
We joined when just two people were on the server (or 1 and 1 afk), but it went up to 14 pretty quickly. We even had a fireteam working at one point. Unfortunately the voting/fireteam controls (press F1, hit up, hit enter, or something) are confusing, and sometimes they don't seem to work at all.

So master race, got to ask, does your game look like this (disregarding beta UI and such):

Oh, were you Brom? I thought you were just some random dude who happened to not be a moron. THANKS FOR RUINING THAT THEORY.Bromeliad said:
Huh. I almost feel like that UI would be better than what we have. And it looks like they had body type changing mid-game at one point? Why would they take that out? Awful.Genesis Knight said:
Anyway, hard to tell, since that demo has the level all dark and shit. My game certainly doesn't look that good, but I have a shitty card. U:

Hard to make a direct comparison, that version of container city looks way different, big difference in time of day for one. Being at night the lighting from stuff like street lamps and porch lights looks way more pronounced and impressive.
