Nobody else is worried about the P2P connections not living up to the rest of the game's hype? I remember getting Gears of War 2 and thinking what a badass game, then you play it online and it's like 'Yikes! What a POS!" , or Borderlands hyping up their drop in and out co-op play and then guess what....it was unplayable!

Bioshock 2's MP was done by a separate developer than the Sp was, and that was supposed to be a great MP experience. On paper it was fantastic! Even the vids of it before release had me salivating. Was one of the worst online connections ever imo. Game was ruined (mp). Most recently, Mortal Kombat came out, after the devs bragged that the game was developed around the online experience and how it was lag free and this and that. Wanna take a guess here? It's unplayable online right now, and still hasn't been fixed.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is I've heard it all before from game companies and devs, and more often than not, the P2P connections ruin what should be amazing games. Why I'm a little skeptical, but I took Tuesday off of work so I didn't have to wait until I got home to play. Just really hoping this wonderful sounding game delivers and that the P2P doesn't ruin it for me.

Agreed. Been asking the same questions myself.

getting a bad vibe from this game?? as its not going to live upto its hype? the last few videos have scared me a bit

I know what you're saying, been like that for me for over a month.

I'm getting the "grenade game" as I've termed it to my friends. I owe them one. A friend got Homefront and saved me the $60 I would have lost on that game, and that was his grenade game. Its basically a game that looks intising but no one is willing to jump on it...kinda like a grenade in a foxhole. He took that one and saved the 4 others of us and I opted to take on Brink.

I think I have a little better odds but I'm far from absolutely "fine" with the game. If I give it a good rating though, I'll have 4 others playin with me.

I was a little disappointed to see so much stuff tied together on character customization, like what looked like both undershirts/jackets on the jacket layer and how color/camo combos were set in concrete. Despite that though, customization is still among the best I've seen in an FPS so I have little to complain about really.

The PC version will have dedicated servers, so only console players will have to worry about the P2P connections :violin:

Eh, I don't know. I haven't been following this game, so I don't know what to think from the videos, but it looks pretty cool. I'm definitley waiting for reviews though
