So I don't want anyone thinking I'm trying to bash Brink, I am very excited for this game. But i just want to point out that I'm a little concerned for the fact that there is no multiplayer beta of any sort before the release of this game. all i can say at this point, because it's way to late to get them to do one, is I hope that this game doesn't become like Homefront and fail because they had no testing phase. Homefront was/is an amazing game but they had major server issues because they didn't stress test the servers for the mass amounts of people that picked up the game.
They were also doing an in-house beta test for something like 18 months, using only friends and family in addition to the Dev team. Brink has actually gone through more beta testing than any other FPS game I'm aware of.
Yeah I hear that this game has been a project for 5+ years to be honest. I heard it took so long because SD wanted to wait until technology allowed them to put put all their ideas into the game. Then again....that's just speculation we hear about every game.
ok it's cool they had some sort of testing but internal testing doesn't handle all the problems that can and will arise when 50+ thousand people are on all at once. like i said I have my highest hopes for the game. I just hope it doesn't crap out like Homefront did.
