yeah that is what i like about pc gaming, yeah youll get the occasional [censored] but for the most part guys are respectful main reason i think that is just cause pc users are older

Either would be a good choice. I'd go with console purely because, for me, it is more fluid and comfortable. Community can often be better on a PC game, but if you got friends to play with on the console, then you'll still have fun even if everyone else you encounter is lame.

Well i think this game is more of a Console. But your right its more teamwork in PC but i wonder if it will be about the same thanks for the forceteamwork in Console. I just know that this game will be greate.

Remember you can always shoot a friend request over to any of us on the forums. Many of us have already done that. Not all of my friends are getting it either (although I am convincing more and more to get it) I have made friends with people on the forums to play with.

P.S. - I am not saying get it for a certain console. Just that we are here.

Yea Ive basically asked my core group of friends on xbox if they're getting it. I got 1 maybe and 7 unresponded. Looks like pc version for me, but im still better with a controller and I dont want to lay down more money for the adaptor.

I'm getting it for PS3 (only thing I have capable of running the game), and trying to convince all the Assassin's Creed friends I have to at least look it up, if not buy it.

I know enough of them are into AC for the movement, which Brink also does well, and I'm sure that most of them WILL look it up under my advice. Doesn't guarantee everyone will take a look, but I'm sure it's going to have decent odds of picking up a few new players for Brink, at least.

I'll be getting it on PC, via Steam. As a CoD, BF, and TF2 player on PC I can safely say the PC community is going to adore Brink, and the support you'll get from the PC community would be huge. That's as an aside from my preference of mouse and keyboard for FPS games, some manage to differ!

By the way, I only checked the System Requirements for the game yesterday. Oh yes, I can run it.

I am one of multiple competitive TF2 players (I literally mean in teams, taking part in leagues and tournaments) who are hoping that Brink will be good enough for them to switch to it as their main focus, and it's nice to hear that the developers have comp. play in mind before release: TF2 definitely didn't have that and yet look how popular it is.

Brink will be massive on PC. No question. Unless it svcks. Which I doubt it will.

It's not that the PC community understands teamwork more than the console community (although I can't speak to X-Box live specifically) it's simply that it has always been easier to communicate on PC. While many may not have mics they all have keyboards.

I go console because my friends aren't PC gamers.

Another thing to consider is the amount of techincal problems. This is just my experience, but Ive found that there are more bugs that accompany a pc version of a multiplatform game, whether its with finding servers, connection/network problems etc. those type of things. Take Crysis 2 for example, from what I heard, the console release went smoothly, but for pc, I couldnt play single player or multiplayer for the first day because of the bugs. And again, this is only what I see for multiplatform, not exclusives. Trust me though, the xbox live community would still not know the meaning of teamwork if instructions were highlighted around every corner.

This always seems like easy answer that must be answered by questions?
Which platform do play better at? Which platform do most of your friends play?

Well, the instructions are highlighted around evry corner in Brink, so I guess you could go X-box and test that theory.

Brink can be played with a gamepad/360 controller or a keyboard on the PC.

Brink is being compared quite often to a TF2 sort of game. TF2 on the PC has a HUGE following. Aside from that tidbit, judging by the system requirements, i'm assuming that the PC version has much better graphics.

Im talking about bold, flashing blue letters and a massive drill sergeant screaming them in your face. Then maybe it would work, but its a small chance. Most(not all) people on xbox are pretty much cutthroat and would do just about anything to be the best on the leaderboard, even if that means screwing a fellow teammate.

This is because most developers are idiots who fail to code their game right or make a poor port from console right away.

Activision refused to add a server-browser to MW2, but fans made one on their own. Also proper server-administration-tools.
Afaik the Crysis Warhead mutliplayer is perfectly fine, opposed to Crysis 2. But that wasn't mutliplatform, of course.

TF2 is the counterdraft to your example, I think. Works a lot better on PC than on console.

Oh thank goodness. I was getting myself geared up for a massive essay that probably would've included that image in it!

Well played. Everyone take note of the point.

TF2 is what was going through my head as really the only game I could think of that is opposite to my argument. I believe the only reason TF2 turned out so well is because Valve has a pedigree for pc gaming, while they are pretty new to consoles. Ideally, I would hope both work smoothly, but is it okay to assume that since SD did their greatest work on pc, the pc version of Brink was given a good amount of attention?

I wouldn't assume it, seeing as all Wedgwood seems to be talking about is the console version when he's explaining something, although for goodness' sake I hope you're right.

Well as far as game quality, despite a few exceptions of course PC is prolly the best bet,

thats why $300 will get you a PS3 or XBOX360 or well $300 bucks might get you a pretty GFX card to look at and wish you had the $1000 system to stick it in

So everyone that has dropped that much money on a sweet gaming rig i think deserves any better quality they get, im not one of them ill be playing on PS3

Server stability seem to be hit or miss on consoles, ive yet to see a game that hasnt had a "HOST" of problems when launching P2P, including MW2 & BlkOPs & MAG & KZ3 & HomeFront & BFBC2

I wish more console games could offer a system more like Warhawk, kinda dedicated server like.

I really wish Brink could at least have a in-game clan option like in MAG, cause well truth be told their are ppl i would love to play FPSs with but i dont know that i want them in my friends list bugging me when i wanna just play some Plants Vs Zombies

Well you also have to take into account of the provider quality. I really dont want to start any argument/flamewar, but xbox 360 just does have a better online than ps3. Ive heard friends who have both systems make the same comment. And Im not saying that theres a big difference in quality between the two, just a small amount. I say this because when you talk about server insability in alot of launches, I cant relate because I just havent experienced it as much, even on the games you've listed. If actual host connection was a problem Im seriously considering, I would look no further than xbox. I do have a gaming rig(paid quite a hefty amount) butwhen it comes to connection quality, the best Ive seen is xbox live. Another thing Im afraid of is favoratism. I love TF2 but I kind of feel bad for all the people still play it on xbox(if there are any) who miss out on alot of the great new stuff.

I don't think anyone still plays it on Xbox... whereas the PC front is but growing. Still. ^_^

You're right 360 has had a much better online track record than PS3, ESPECIALLY with BlkOPs

but once again, XboxLive Pay 2 Play ---- PS3 Free 2 Play

so in fairness Xbox SHOULD be better than PS3 online wise, and not to contridict myself but all those games i listed (with the exception of Homefront) certainly werent ruined on PS3

PPL will complain about server issues but most of them will do it as they are spending hours playing the game they are complaining about, so i guess i just comes down to if u wanna play on a big TV with a controller or on a smaller monitor with the ole keys and mouse

600$ can buy any one a gaming rig its not top of the line i7 with crazy stuff but it will due http://www.geforce.com/#/Optimize/Guides/how-to-build-a-kick-ass-crysis-2-pc-for-under-600

And that's still twice as much as I paid for my PS3 with 2 controllers, 2 games, and The Dark Knight on Blu Ray. And while the PS3 will be able to play all the new PS3 games several years from now (assuming PS runs the same basic course as it has with it's PS2) in exactly the same fashion as every other PS3, the PC you describe won't be able to play all the PC games at the same level as every other PC game out there.

It's all about what you prefer, when you want to spend the money, and what your gaming priorities are.

true but that depends on the person and there level of gfxs they want. i agree that going the ps3/360 way is beter becausse they all dont need upgradeing even 1-2 years

eh Ive been subscribed to xbox since halo 2 so I might as well utilize the great connection
