brink classes

since most of us will be playing together against the rest of the world, i was wondering what class ppl were thinking about playing as.


The four classes
•Soldier: The soldier is the main fighting machine in the team. He is also able to plant explosives.
•Engineer: The engineer is able to fix and repair things. This character is good for supporting roles and allows to circumvent obstactles. Additionally, he can defuse explosives.
•Medic: Yeah, you probably guessed it, he can heal team mates.
•Operative: This one can disguise himself and sneak around. Also he can interrogate prisoners and hack into computer systems

here's a more in depth look at the classes

I pretty much plan to play all the classes as I think most people will.
From what I gather it looks like you will want to be proficient in all of them and switch about as needed.
I'm sure once the game and clans are established there will be players who specialize in a certain class much like tf2
and right now I'm not sure which one is most appealing to me as they all look pretty good.

well movement is body type dependant so I'm gonna work on fast and as soon as I can looks like in the achievements you gotta reach lvl 5 b4 you can start a 2nd character

Thats interesting Neo, and brings up a good point. Your character can play any class but the the way you create your characters body type will limit your movement abilities
and determine the amount of damage you take. I haven't been looking at that aspect of it but now that you mentioned it and I understand that, I think I will start with a medium build and create a light build after lvl 5.

I have to admit I am really looking forward to the super fast agile movement abilities of the light build but I fear the amount of damage you can take will be very low and you may spend a lot of time incapacitated waiting for a medic.

you also have to worry about the dmg threat you are since your very mobile your weaponry is only gonna be a pistol sidearm and a lightweight primary

LOL @ your avatar chem....watched it like 5 straight times with continually escalating laughter.

thing that im wondering about is, before you build multiple characters, can you still switch on the fly? what do you get when you switch if you havent built a character for that class yet? a default character? i know that you can build your classes in the SP and use them in the MP, so thats pretty cool. but ya, after a while we will have to comunicate as what ppl are leaning towards as far as their primary build. we're gonna get smoked in tournies if we all have light builds or all heavy builds. kinda reminds me of the old NES game "ice hockey" where you had 4 players and you could have a skinny fast guy with a weak shot, a heavy slow player with a bomb of a shot, or a medium blend of the two.

choose class according to your play style..

soldiers
-give out ammo
-plant explosives
-have frag and molotov grenades

medics
-can buff teammates health
-can revive (by throwing a revive syringe)
-can self buff

engineer
-build turrets
-diffuse mines
-buff weapons
-diffuse explosives

operatives
-disguise as an enemy
-spot enemy mines
-hack stuff

All the guns can be used by the 4 classes. However, some guns are dependent on body size.
