So what? Does that means there is only three classes?

Even with only three sounds epic.

I only tried three, but there were more. I just don't know what the others do

The game seems promising, in the same way that Shadowrun sounded promising. But Shadowrun sucked, so I'm gonna wait for the reviews on this one.

From what I've seen on their site, that appears to be the available classes.

I'm rather interested in this, especially for the movement aspect. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten hung up on a railing, lamppost, what have you in shooter games and died because of it. Now I can vault and climb over stuff, slide around and roll? Looks pretty awesome.

A game that apprecheates teamwork? yay~. Perhaps maby i can do something other than horde or Reaches firefight in the near future that allows players to beat the stuffing out of the AI as a group, with the added bonus of freerunning.

 

[AMMO Kid]

It doesn't really interest me all that much. Maybe when Dead Rising 2 and New Vegas come out then I can check it out again and have a different outlook.

 

[Rad Party God]

This game seems pretty interesting, it's being made by Splash Damage, wich they made one of my all time favorite games ever, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (wich is completely free by the way)... BUT, also they made the unfortunate Quake Wars... but still, I'm on a state of cautious hype.

 

[duchaked]

the parkour in the trailer is awesome...hopefully the game is too haha...
well, maybe they'll have trial running modes?

 

[OceanRunner]

Sounds like a fantastic team game. Too bad it's still a long way off from release.

What was wrong with quake wars? The personal objective system was fantastic, teamwork was very much required but even lone wolf style players could help the team if they took out the targets picked for them.

The only issue with QW was the same one being expressed here, it took time to learn what was going on and how to do it and the maps were of a scale that made learning each one fairly time consuming too.

Wait, I'm pretty sure I once played the demo of a game called Quake: Enemy Territory. Is the Quake Wars you're talking about?
As I remember it, it was fun to stab the enemies to take over their identities and the proceed to hack their turrets to help the team take over their base. On the other hand, the matches often developed into a clusterfuck.

On topic: Every shooter that demands teamplay is a step in the right direction in my opinion. Of course this is also a reason why such games often aren't that much fun to play, because if the team doesn't work together, nobody will have fun. Brink looks promising.

 

[Pandora92]

Am I the only one that thinks this sounds a lot like just playing TF2 on a different engine with a different style of graphics? >.>

yup that's the game 'Enemy territory:Quake wars', hard to learn and requiring teamwork turned out that unless you had a solid team it was a mess. Most new players seemed to be attempting some kind of team death match rather than playing the game given to them and actively ignored the personal objectives the game generated for them.

 

[Mariakitten]

From what I've seen its like TF2 mixed with with Mirrors Edge...looks interesting.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

So, you can only get healed by a medic? Or did I read that wrong?

Shame if that's the way it is, I was kinda looking forward to this game...

 

[Captainguy42]

A copy of TF2? I don't think so, unless every team-class based game is considered a copy of TF2 now.

Yah it's not exactly fair to call every class based shooter a TF2 copy, that's like calling all Western RPG's Ultima clones.

However I'm, still really excited for this game, there aren't many others that offer free-running in multiplayer.

Wasnt it Assault, engineer, medic, and operative (spy like class). Regardless, not to surprised, this game looks like one you NEED to communicate with teammates. Still looks damn good, cant wait for next year.
