yip i love the brink and i cant believe there's so many fussy people out there these days bangin on about graphics poppin. you should see L.A. Noire that games really bad for it (im an xbox owner by the way). and i hardly get an lag i dont know why but it happens very little to me. and i normally find if i do i just join another game and its fine no lag.
You either have to be joking, or lying.
L.A. Noire barely has any pop in, but even then. It's understandable in that game. Know why? YOU HAVE THE ENTIRETY OF L.A. TO GO THROUGH IN THE GAME.
Brink has such small and narrow map's that the pop in is embarrassing.This problem is solved if you have the game installed. Geez, last time I saw pop in this bad was either Borderlands or Halo 2. Both of which have far more to do and travel through.
While on lag, the game is inconsistent. But when it's there. it's game breaking.
Oh, and on topic. This game is so disliked because it's not worth it's money. A.I. is bad. Graphics are subpar, as is gameplay. Parkour is under utilized, weapons are very samey across most of the board. Only eight maps with NO variations. A completely stripped campaign mode, that is in fact the same across all of the other game modes. Which there aren't really.
