You don't seem to be a very good at choosing what games you should buy.

I agree with this. More ranks/levels are definitely needed to keep people involved with this game. Yes, game play should come first, but there's no reason why more can't be added.

Yes, as a matter of fact I do expect MOST of the servers to be busy. Take a look at almost any other popular game. The vast majority of the servers in those games ALWAYS have people in them, and most of those games are already old. To add to this, those games always have way more servers in general than Brink. Brink is eight days old and it has no one playing and even less total servers (I don't know the actual numbers but I'm counting on this being true).

Take into account that new games almost always have more people playing them than old games due to that "New game rush" that most games experience. Brink was hyped up just like any other game, but it did not receive the same amount of players. Also, 400 servers with people playing in them? Out of "Thousands" that you claim there are? Even if that's accurate, that's still ridiculously low. That's less than 40% of the servers being full. I also honestly doubt that there are 400 active servers, considering my server browser doesn't even show that much, and with the majority of servers being empty, I wouldn't be surprised to find that all of those "Thousands" of servers aren't consistently active either.

You also need to take into account location, internet quality, and Brink's piss poor net code. PC players usually don't have to worry about net code, but it's a factor nonetheless. Even since day one it has been hard for me to find a server that didn't lag. This is just the curse of living in the West Coast, but I honestly am never able to find more than 20 active servers with less than 100 ping maximum, while everyone else enjoys the luxury of hundreds of servers to play on. It honestly makes me wish that I lived in the East Coast but then I'd have too many real life problems to deal with...

Also, that guy is right. I shouldn't have to scroll to find a good server, not this early on. Brink has problems my friends.

Wait is it really levels that keep you people interested in a shooter? I guess I'll go make a game with 200 levels, you unlock all your stuff at level 20, and past level 20 it takes forever to level up.... problem solved and I wont have to read about how you play a FPS to RPG.


What happened to people playing FPS's to kill people.. I can understand a handful of levels but I'm not here to play through a ton of levels to unlock top gear.

Although brink does put a bit too much emphasis on the xp screen after every match... w.e.

hf with your couple of hours with portal 2 without touching it ever again afterwards.

Game has been out a week, the devs know what they need to fix for things to be playable and in working condition. Give it some time. DLC is out in June, so why not wait until then. Play in competitive mode, 4v4 or 5v5, there is no lag. Atleast when I play. Get a good host for 8v8 and it's been fine. Give the game some time.

I disagree with this. I barely ever play Bad Company 2 because it just takes ages to level up. BRINK seems about right to me. I'm still not Level 20 with one character.

Also, for a company not to have dedicated servers, in this day an age, is odd to say the least and about as nicely as i can put it...I can only think it came down to funding.

This game is really unfinished in my view. The gameplay is really repetitive, I can't believe there is only one game mode, no team deathmatch or any other kind of team based game play! there's only so many times you can play the same damn game. There are only 5 ranks and 20 levels, which I've reached already, so normally the stats would be my incentive to play! But what do you know..... a fundamental basic in every FPS, and Brink doesn't have it, no stats page on the 360 full stop. Oh wait, there's a code to go on line and view your stats online... Great I'll do that ! Oh what do you know the games been in stores nearly a week and the stats page still isn't up and running! I'm losing interest in Brink already and it's been less than a week playing! That for me is a record. We seriously need some kind of anouncement concerning updates or this is being traded in! Really dissapointed! It has the potential to be Amazing - The fact that it was released a week earlier than planned is just laughable.

This is a joke ,right?
TDM is about killing the opposite team. not very team based.

And why don't you make a new character? they made a limit of 10, why don't you use it?
You sound like someone who wants Brink to be like COD.
