the fact is,is that there aren't alot of games that come out flawlessly (except CoD,but its the same game each time so...duh) ,but I say hang in their and wait cause brink just needs a couple more patches and it will be flawless, heck I even think when they have the clan system up there will propably be a lobby system and yes Brink has its problem,but its the first of its kind and a major stepping stone in FPS history cause who knows maybe even games like CoD and BF will borrow (steal) the SMART system in future titles (but I bloody hope not)
CoD=flawless? i think you need to pick up some other FPS games there mate.
CoD=bad graphics+Glitchy game play+repetitious game play.
And that's offered with all their titles.
Besides; i just love being killed when im shot in the FOOT by a pistol.
Even Halo:Reach, the Halo game that was 'supposed' to be the 'worst' of the franchise, offers more than any CoD game.
To the OP: in the end, its just something you need to check out. Hire the game. Try to find someone, a friend, with XBL and have a go at it. You might like it.
