Brink is great. But I have one complaint...

Before anyone starts flaming, let me just say that I love Brink so far, I've been following it since it was first revealed, and overall I think it's a good game.

I play on PC, btw.

Minor complaint: Imbalanced objectives, specifically escort objectives. I'm not saying it's impossible, but even if you have a good team composed solely of medics, escort missions are still rediculously hard to win from the attackers side, the defenders have it easy, as it takes only a few bullets to kill the NPC being escorted. This is an easy fix: buff the health. Make it so the NPC (forget his name, starts with an N) has the health equivalent of an engineer's turret, that way it requires actual team play to down the objective, just like it requires team play to revive and escort him.

Bit more serious of a complaint: Is it just me, or does the gameplay feel overall very choppy? On low ping servers it's a bit better, but still it's choppy and laggy. As an example of the choppiness, ever try holding F to pursue a teammate to buff him? The screen shakes, the character shakes, everything shakes, the movement is choppy. But it isn't only when you hold F to follow a teammate, it's basically anytime you do more than just sprint with SMART. Hopefully this is just some small speed bumps that will be smoothed out in future patches, or when the servers settle down and overall it's less laggy.

I just got the game and noticed that about the choppiness of it, like you said when press x or f to run and buff a teammate it shakes like hell, and if you simply jump by pressing A and keep jumping it looks very choppy as if its a really low frame rate or something.

I partially agree on both subjects. Although ive never experienced the screen shaking your referring to. Maybe its because i have view bobbing off. Maybe try that?
