Yes finally someone that understands that MW2 ruined the series' none of my friends think that:)

Topic.
I think the game will be better then Black Ops and halo reach.

No-one knows for sure how good the game will be. I made that mistake before. Transformers War For Cybertron. Thought it was going to be absolutely fantastic, waited months for it and had a fairly single minded opinion. Turned out [censored]. I'm not making that mistake again. Halo will be cool no matter what, it's just Halo. But Black Ops is a different matter. It's just mw2 with different weapons, perks and maps. I'm hoping Brink is going to be smashing, but I'm not certain until I play it myself.

To me it's a no-brainer. I mean Reach looks pretty good. But since it's an 360 exclusive. This means no dedicated servers, bad community and so on.

Everyone DOES know this is an opinion thing, right?

Depens for what you looking for buy a game.
For my tastes, Brink is already much better than Halo Reach, but I think it comes with Black Ops ... equal. I read that are working hard on the story, but ignoring some multiplayer, so from that point of view will certainly be better Brink, but also Mordern Warfare 2 seems already better than his successor. It depends on tastes. However, I think that Black Ops will be a very good entertainment while we wait for Brink, a much better entertainment than it could be Halo Reach, but, I repeat, everything depends on tastes.

I'm pretty sure Brink is going to have more competition from higher quality franchises like Killzone 3 and Crysis 2.

Killzone 3 is essentially pulling an Assassin's Creed 2, and fixing everything people complained about (Which really wasn't much.)
And Crysis 2 is bound to be impressive.

I've already ruled out Halo Reach's possility of being "good," as the Halo series has been generally mediocre since Halo 3 came out.
As far as Black Ops, I'm really not sure yet. They've added some new things to it, and at this point it looks pretty unpredictable.

Brink will way better then COD and Reach in everyway! Why? It is simple Splash Damage is doing something new and are actually making some different. COD and Halo have been around for along time and there isn't really anything new about these games. COD is on it's what 7th game and there is not a big difference in game play beween COD4,5,6 or 7 - they all have similiar kill streaks, perks, run and gun game play and competitive game play. COD favors gamers who have quick reflexes and sharp eyes, and has nothing to with team game play. That is why Brink will also do well because if you are skill player or not there is many many ways to earn experience points without relying on quick reflexes and sharp eyes.

I'll give this to BO... they removed what made MW2 worse then MW1....

Shotgun secondaries, commando perk, I'm sure there is more...

HOWEVER... they ALSO added...

C4 RC cars /facepalm
BALLISTIC OHK KNIFE! /DOUBLEFACEPALM
A mother [censored] CROSSBOW?? in a game filled with guns.... what... are we playing rambo first blood now? /triplefacepalm


The ONLY good thing they added that I see is the theater mode.... BFD, now there will be even more COD machima /quadruplefacepalm

Reach and Black Ops of course will sell, but even with any new features, it's still just Halo and CoD. The majority of players aren't really buying them for the new features, but rather for the name, and knowing that the developers have established a solid franchise. Brink is offering a totally new experience, which can both be a benefit and a downfall. Those who are looking for something new and fresh, will be intrigued, while those who are skeptical, either about what the game sets out to accomplish or the fact that it isn't an established franchise, will keep a safe distance away. On top of things being hyped, like the art style, customization and SMART, the fundamental "SD-style" objective gameplay, is a new concept for console gamers. Those who think it will just be another CoD or Halo or BC2 clone, or the ones who say things like, "it's like TF2 and Mirror's Edge had a baby," will have their speculations shattered, when they discover how truly new and refreshing Brink's gameplay will be.

I see a big chunk of Brink's success coming from word of mouth. New IP's, especially one developed by an unfamiliar studio (at least on console) tend to get little help from reviews and number scores, concerning sales. Players will remain cautious until something they can relate to, like a friend's opinion, might sway their vote. Once Brink shows that it can deliver the goods (which I'm sure it will) it will develop it's own dedicated fanbase, just like any other triple A shooter.

SD might not have a big console presence, but bethseda certainly does...


A demo/beta would get it a lot of pre-launch console attention....

"Spotlight" ads work well too.

It won't reach mainstream sales though... but then, I dunno if I'd really want it to... mainstream gamers are pretty bloody annoying

This WILL be a "@!&# of a lot better than both of them (i hope) sniff*

I hope its better then Black Ops, and I agree with Halo, anything Halo in it and people go nuts. I've played little of the recent Halo games and havent cared for them so this better put those 2 too shame.

I noticed that even Bungie thinks the first one was their best one... as Reach will show us the return of HEALTH and a shield. Doubt it will make a difference, seeing as how Brink will steal all of the FPS fans from Halo: Reach when it releases.

Yes I can see it now Halo: Big Rig, the greatest game ever made. :laugh:

Haha.


Nope.

I plan on getting black ops and brink. I like COD, no matter what any body says. Even though there is a crap load of stuff wrong with it, its still fun. I don't really rant about anything in the game, accept commando, because I don't really care.

None of the games are out yet. Treyarch seems to want to make a good game, make it unique. I think they have.

But Brink, I really want this game. I normally like being medics/support when I play the game. Like when I play borderlands, my favorite character was roland, and cauterize was a must skill.


My point is, not every COD player is a [censored]. But there are a lot of them.

I never used cauterize... between my regen aura, and my turrets regen aura.... nobody ever died :gun:

best part about roland was the super extended magazine size....

In regards to COD....I have meet some really nice people, but for the most part I have many and I mean MANY bad experiences in COD. I just had enough of it that I sold my MW1 & MW2 for something else. I personally believe that Brink will be something I could really get into. Looking forward to playing it!

To sum it up. It is GUARANTEED both Halo and Black Ops will be amazing in their own ways. As I said previously, Halo is Halo, everyone loves it no matter what. Black Ops is sounding really good to be completely honest. Looks like they cleaned up some of their mistakes from Modern Warfare. Some of the added game modes and ranking systems sound really impressive. Brink has nor the name or the reputation of any previous games. It won't be recognised as much as both Black Ops and Halo. It's either going to be a complete disappointment, an in-between game that is fun for a while, or an all time hit that changes the way you play a FPS. So far, Brink will not be more successful then both of Black Ops or Halo, purely because of it's badge and reputation. But to us, and the entire Brink community, who knows.

It will be awesome for us and that's all that matters,

Perfect example of this is Borderlands, that game blew up simply from word of mouth.

Yeah, only way I heard about brink was from a friend, and now i've gotten a few friends interested in it, but it will probably get more players interested when it gets closer to it's release date.

I think this game will do very very well as a great game, but it will have a great following because if gamers are having fun with game, gamers will talk and pass it to their friends and so on and so on. This game will be successful in its own right and it will not have to worry about being like COD or HALO. To be honesty I am not the biggest fan of FPS becuase it has to do alot with me being visually impaired because alot of games require fast reflexes and sharp eyes. But for some reason I really look at brink in very different light. It could be the fact the game focuses on team work game play, character and weapon customization with the SMART system, but more then anything else I can play that way I want to play that would work with my eye sight problem. Example the operative class would be a great class for me because it requires close up actions and combat versus being a Solider that requires quick reflexes. Anyways, that is my two cents.

Exactly what I was getting at.

Brink I think is going to be the best 2011 shooter. :goodjob:
