General, gameplay, and multiplayer. Why do we need these 3 sections of the forum? Why not put it all in one, and bring it all together.. i feel this was another problem with brink. Standard, Advanced, Competition, Old Skool, and Big Teams, people scatter themselves all over the game, making it hard to find 1 full room in ANY of these...Why didnt they just put it all together, and let the host decide HOW he wanted to make the room.. SHould be a "create public room" button... This way kids who KNOW they cant host ( me ) wont get stuck with the host and have to leave the room cuz everyone lags too bad, that we cant play.

I find nothing more annoying than spending 15 mins getting all your friends in the room, taking another 10 mins getting all your friends on the same team, then playing for 5 mins before we red line them and they quit. Migrating the host over to me. I lag the room because i can only host up to 8 man rooms, so i must leave. And all that was a complete waste. I can always rejoin, but whos to say the next host will be better... THEN... after its all been and done and i reconnect, the opposing team has already rage quit due to the imbalance of the teams. RANDOM ROOMS SUUUUCK.


I tell you what IS fun though, getting in a room and NOT pressing ready up. just chattin while you kill yer friends on the other team. I actually enjoy that more than i do actually playing the real game.

If the host picked the 'game mode' then i would be forced to quit if he chose a game mode i didnt want. That would lead to your initial problem of not being able to fill a lobby because people kept leaving.

That's why we should have a server browser so that we can see exactly what we are getting into.

^^ yea or lobbies. I understand the route Sd took, they wanted people to get into games as quick as possible without having to wait. But i rather wait a minute or 2 to get into a full room then to be forced to play mp with 2 or 3 humans and the rest bots. Leave the sp for bots like its meant to be, make the mp nothing but human players like mp is suppose to be. IF people quit then fill in with bots, but atleast let rooms fill up with humans first.

Ugh, just turned into another discussion about lobbies... but I still agree.

online games need server browsers. its been bread and butter for the last 20 years on PC, only knows why consoles refuse to use this. they seem to think consolers are all retards (well, some are but not most)

First, the forums need to be broken out further - starting with a divide between the PC forums and Console forums.

Second, from a PC perspective, I dont have any issue with the way the matchmaking is in Brink. Its pretty easy, find a server with space, get in, have my Steam friends join on me - easy.

didnt you read my post above, there is a pc only forum. albeit for pc specific problems.

the thing is the game is the same on both platforms more or less. its not like bf3 where there is major differences between the 2.

If a game does exist on different plattforms most other Forums are splitted like PC-Forums and NGC PS3/360-Forums. It`s easier to get informations about which plattform needs a tweek because either the PC-gamer or Consoleros could have different opinions on the game style/play/etc. Anyway, there where made different faults and that`s why people keep running away, sadly.
