This Game could have been so much better !

Hi guys,

First: sorry for my bad english, im not to good in speaking english but i hope you can understand me anyway.

Ive been waiting so long for this game - and now im a little bit disappointed .. it looks like the game isnt finished yet, so im wondering why you released it 1 week earlier than it was announced.


So, what am I talking about?

1. There are so many options to customize your player - you can change almost everything which is very good .. but why isnt it possible to customize the weapon? It would be so simple to add a function to change the colour. The weapons should be unique as the player - at least a little bit.
2. Why isnt it possible to change the character between the rounds or to change the size and so on. A simple example: As attacker i want to play a thin medic, as defender i want to play a bulky engineer. If i want change my character I have to go to the main menu - thats a roundabout way which makes no sense to me. Why i want to change my character between the rounds? Every map and every side has to be played in a other style. Sometimes you have to be fast. Sometimes you have to defend and its not important to run across the map, insteand its more important to have hp.
3. The server browser: Players should know if there are bots in the server or not, BEFORE they join the server. Please add this function to the server browser. Its a easy function, but a big help.
4. Bots shouldnt give as much xp as human player. People can easily farm xp in a solo game against bots (which are sometimes realy stupid) - thats unfair. Players who play online against other player should be rewarded with more xp - not the other way.
5. There should be more statistics about the game. Call of Dutys success isnt without a reason. I dont want that Brink is like Call of Duty - but some features in Call of Duty are very good. For example the Emblem Maker, or the detailed statistics about the game. With which weapon do i have the best k/d ratio? With which class do i win the most games? and so on. That should be ingame visible.

There are sooo much more things which are good, but could be MUCH better with few changes.

I dont want to list the lags and freeze problems, that would cost to much time.

So to sum up, the game is good - but while i am playing the only thing on my mind is: This could be so much better - why did they release a unfinished game?

Call of Duty sucessful? Bullpoop. They have to make a new one every year, so each induvidual game dies every year.

Counter Strike's 12-year sucess isn't without sucess either. Pure unadvlterated fun, no progression junk, no unlocking, nothing but shooting and ignored objectives.

Well to start with;

4. Is a extremely bad idea. I don't like the online play, I find it iffy so I go to Co-Op rather. All you are doing is trying to bias the PvP rather then the PvE, and what about those who cant afford internet so they have to Solo, you are going to slap them like that?

2. would be dumb. You cant change your weight in ten seconds time so it would be unrealistic and completely de-meaning.

3. was a somewhat good idea.

5. CoD is a success because it was briliantly adverted. Honestly, if you look into what CoD actually is; you will find that it is the same thing year after year with a new title on the front which makes it flashy. All you really buy is the 'Modern Warfare 2' name on the box with a neat picture. The Emblems would be horrible, I see so many people with women genitels and briast on the Emblem sign after I get killed by a child of twelve with a Commado that it makes me sick.

1. I tottaly agree with you there. The lack of customization to my weapon was making me think; " lol? ". It could be improved or added a few more schemes to the color and or logos.

Quite an uneducated post

1. Weapons are meant to be customized with attachments and though camos would be nice I rather change the guns stats than the guns look.

2. This was on purpose, bodytypes used to be permanent but now they can be changed in the menu so your getting more than you started with. Choosing a bodytype was supposed to be a tactical decision that was made according to playstyle not something you can change at a whim. Developers did this to add strategy to character customization.


3. On PC there is server browsing though not on console, but if your problem is bots Brink has freeplay modes that remove bots and make you play with only humans.

4. The devs also disscussed this, in the end it was decided to be unfair to the people who only wanted to play singleplayer. Heck I've found that though a bot on Hard is easier to kill they are certainly better at killing you than most human players.

5. A stat tracker is in the works and will be able to be tracked with the code you were given(code can be found in the menu).

This is a slightly unpolished game on the consoles but less so on the pc. Just bear with it and focus on the innovative gameplay. Many of peoples gripes are simply dissagrements in ideas with the developers.

Again, this is simply an experiment of a new idea, don't come complaining, I'm pretty sure it should be fixed to a degree in this game and perfected in the next... - -'
