I absolutely love Brink, and can NOT wait for it, but everyone thinks Brink is the first game to link your single and multiplayer character. Although I really love the idea, Brink isn't the first game ever to do this. Just want people to know, Rainbow Six:Vegas 2 does exactly that. Just want you guys to know.
You are right, I guess. Most people seem to have missed your point.
But R6V2 was quite a buggy piece of wtfbbq, while BRINK is supposedly a very well polished piece of awesomebbqsauce.
And BRINK is the first game to blend single-player and multi-player in one environment.
The concept of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvF6iRPg6-w, though. And I believe The Crossing would've made it slightly more intense, even.
Rainbow Six Vegas:2 doesn't have parkour nor does it have Brinks vast amount of customization. here to fore, Tom Clancy can svck on that.
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 has the same customisation system like BRINK. But BRINK has it with more depth.
