I play all games from rpg's to fps's. COD and Brink are very different they both have fun but very different aspects. I think why people keep comparing them is because they are really dissatisfied with the amount of content, which is something COD has no problem with.

My biggest problem with Brink is that (content wise) it just doesn't live up to the days standards. While a DLC is nice, i payed my hard earned money for a game, which was supposed to be complete when i purchased it. The DLC will most likely add things that should have been there from the start IE. more maps, weapons, and persona customizations.

It was said in an earlier post gamer's deserve better than this, and it's true. It was also said this game had so much potential, and has many awesome aspects, which is also true. Sadly though this game really fell short, and it's a huge disappointment to me.

I agree with mostly everything on here.

I had been waiting to buy this since September of last year. A lot of my friends didn't buy into the concept.
It's a niche market that Splash Damage is going towards. If you're in it, you will appreciate the game and learn to work around the bugs. I don't think anyone believes the game is perfect or polished, but there are those who remember when paying $60 for a video game was worse than this. (But in no way do I think this game was worth all it was - and I received it as a gift.) But I am learning to love it for what it is: a fun time.
I also think that gamers are a little spoiled - I know I am. I am always a little disappointed with new titles because they never really deliver to the hype they come out with. However, I learn to get over my disappointment and then I can truly just have fun with the game and play with my friends. That was the true goal and I think Splash Damage delivered with that.

I think they should put out the DLC for free as an apology for not having the most complete game and as a thank you to those out there who can appreciate the good in it still.
I still play Halo: Reach, and the Call of Duty series. The gameplay is completely different no matter what anyone says. It all matters on what I am in the mood for.

I like Brink. It is not everything I hoped for in some aspects - which I go about in other posts - but it does deliver on some levels I didn't expect it to.
A game is a game. Buy it, or rent it, help make it better or just complain about it.

Can we assume that Mom or Dad actually PAYS for yours, then?

Because you have grounds to complain whenever you don't get what you pay for for, or when you don't get what was advertised. Whilst Brink, imho, is more good than bad, those that disagree have every right to complain. Please read this sentence repeatedly before continuing.

If you paid for a 2-seat convertible and only got one seat, you'd grumble, yes? Would the fact that they can give you your second seat in June, and "hey, it's gonna be free!" actually mollify you? If so, the world is waiting, and it's going to [censored] you up. Lots of teens and 'still live with mom' types here, commenting on matters they know [censored]-all about.

Some of the counter-arguments here make no sense to me.

"Give them some slack, it's hard to make a game" - I don't care how hard or complicated it is to make a game, really - making TVs is complicated too, but if the [censored] thing was broken when you got it out of the box, you'd take it back, wouldn't you?

"They're already working to fix it" - If you ordered an expensive meal and half of it was cold and the other half missing, would you calmly wait for the missing bits to arrive, a fortnight later, and just live with the cold bits, or would you grab a waiter by the balls and kick off?

"Haters gonna hate" - possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read. A "Hater" won't have spent his money on the game. Those who'll complain the loudest aren't haters at all, they are, in fact, folks who are desperate to LOVE the game, but can't shake the feeling they've been seen off.

"Be constrctive" - Agree and personally I try to be, but folks don't have to complain in a constructive manner as consumers. If you buy milk at a store and it's sour when you get it home despite being within it's sell-by date, you're not obliged to advise the store manager on ways to improve his storage procedures, you may just want the fresh product you PAID for.

I recognise people's right to complain - never forget, they didn't GIVE you this game, they made you BUY it - Brink is a product like any other, and their having happily taken your money gives you ALL of the rights of a consumer. Complaint is one such right, when monies have been exchanged.

I love Brink and play it everyday, but the Campaign was rip-off short, the graphics are a bit shoddy (360), the AI is massively [censored]-up and the lag unforgiveable. So, loving the game or not (and despite my not grumbling as hard as some about things as many have) I never forget that all at SD/Beth probably already drive a nicer car than me, and that I PAID MONEY for Brink. Money I currently earn getting [censored] shot at in Afghanistan. So, be entirely certain, when and if I feel the urge to complain.....I [censored] will, old son. Others have the same right to do so, if they choose.

I havn't played this game since the weekend. I might play it again tonight or this up coming weekend...it's the only way I can enjoy the game because it's so damn repetitive and content lacking. I just hope the DLC isn't any of the unlockables we were suppose to have after completing the campaigns ( Napalm, UAV, etc) that would be wrong and dishonorable to make us wait to use something we earned and already paid for...

Has there been any word on what will be getting released in June? Like maps, game types, (please give us TDM!) or campaign levels?

Yes, they said new maps and content for players when they announced the DLC. That's all they said, but New Maps fo sho
