Concerns about Multi/Coop Play

Post » Tue Mar 15, 2011 3:24 am

So I rent a house with two other guys who play shooters with me. I really want to get Brink but I have a concern that they will mess-up my character's story or gameplay. Little clarification: I usually play either an engineer or medic in squad based games (BC2), they refuse to play any shooters other than CoD (the other games are not pretty enough in their opinion). While online they do the CoD thing ie: run around dying or shooting (no thinking or objectives).Because of this I have set up each with their own accounts on my PS3 in hopes that Brink will allow them do run and gun while I can do objectives.

So my question is when Brink come out will I be able to have them play on their accounts, with their own characters, along with mine at the same time (Keeping their own personal equipment, earnings, and attachments not like the current Black Ops design)? Or will I have to just hope they hate the game and go back to CoD as soon as I get Brink?

Different accounts will have them on their accounts of the game. In addition you can have up to 16 characters per account so if they accidentally did not change accounts they can play with out affecting your character. (by making a new one)

Probably causing permanent damage to it which will make you unable to game ever again.

All you have to do for a new account on a PS3 is to create an entirely new user. Different users have completely seperate save files, and can create their own PSN account, which again, will be entirely seperate from your own.

When you go to the XMB menu and go all the way to the left end where it has "Turn Off System" and your log-in, it should give you the option to "Create New User". Use this to create another log-in/user/profile/whatever you want to call it.

That way, when you next turn on the PS3 it will give you the option to Turn Off System, log in to your old user or log into your new user. If it immediately logs you in and you miss that screen, you probably had auto log-in checked for that account's settings, which can be changed by pressing triangle over that user whilst you're logged in as them.

Then you don't know how to work your PS3...

P.S
I'm not trying to say that in a mean/condescending way.
