Dear Splash Damage,

I have the Xbox 360 version of Brink, and yes, I purchased it after release knowing full well what many of its supposed "shortcomings" were. Truth be told, it has been a frustratingly fun experience. I have wanted to like this game so much, that I've played it to the point where I really do... I enjoy the heck out of the game, the customization is FANTASTIC! From the characters to the guns (especially the guns), it is easily one of the best customization mechanics in any game (though admittedly many of the attachments are superfluous). I love it, the gameplay is frantic, and REQUIRES players to work together. I have NEVER played a game that forced me to work together with teammates so much, and felt so rewarded for doing so.

I make that point for this reason however, as much as I really enjoy this game it really needs the option to play local offline play via System Link. Halo LAN parties, while not the rage that they used to be, are still held and enjoyed to this day. I guess I have to question the decision to not include it. Why has this feature been omitted when this game was clearly designed for it and so clearly could benefit from it?

I am hoping, since Splash Damage (I assume) has been watching the forums and the community requests, if this was a feature that could be added in a future patch release. That, and some of the numerous other features people are requesting, such as a lobby would be fantastic and would be a natural fit. It's true that nearly everyone has internet these days, but not all connections are created equal and connecting to Live and using the same connection for multiple consoles doesn't make that much sense if the bandwidth can't support it. Local offline play could in fact solve a few of those nasty lag issues many complain about...

Point is this: System Link for Xbox 360 - Please add it. Even the sloppy Nerve port of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars on the 360 had system link.

Thank you!

I was kinda surprised that there was no system link option. And i would like to see it added as an option.

But atm i would rather see custom weapon camos, and abit more veriety in objectives/gametypes

Agreed. There are some gameplay, customization, and other additions/tweaks that do take priority I think, (lobby anyone?).

I'm just thinking down the road sometime if they can be bothered to add it--it makes perfect sense for this game as it should have had it in the first place...
