I know that this game is gonna be amazing from the start but, I don't know if it'll get repetitive after a few weeks like Black Ops.

Nah. Each time you play, you can take a different role, different route, new people, new experience every match for the first 5 weeks. XD

It's all up to you really, if you are playing the same class, bodytype and weapons I'd say it gets old pretty fast, mix it up and you got tons more replayability.

for me, itll have a lot of replay, all the customizing of guns and characters, plus all the different routes with parkour running.

Well, If the gameplay is good it won't get repetitive(Probably spelled it wrong ), and smart can lead to a lot of options on how to assualt an objective.
I sorta look at it like it has the unlocks of CoD(which is probably the only reason people play it anyway) with the options of BFBC2's destruction in the form of SMART.

It will become as repetitive as any other multiplayer-shooter. Not as fast, because it's a new franchise, of course; but I am fairly certain it will.

Now if you like a game, you play it regardless of how repetitive it is, though. I mean, people played through the Zelda games over and over and over and over again, right?

All online shooters get repetative. No way around that unless new maps come out every hour or so.
Its not a big deal though. If you like it enough, the repetition wont matter to you.
Hell, I've played countless hours of BF1943, and that game only has 3 classes and 4 maps.

Brink has enough to keep people occupied for a long time. Customization, SMART, objective-based gameplay. I also remember an interview a long time ago mentioning SD putting in a map editor if there was time. Hopefully two delays was enough.

This is completely false. Perhaps the console shooters of today follow this formula, but not ALL shooters.

I could play RTCW and W:ET all day everyday, with just the stock maps - I did this for years.

I know exactly what you mean. I occassionaly bought new games, but every time I got bored I went back to W:ET to play it for a couple of months and then buy a new game and go back again.

That doesn't mean that it isn't repetative. That just means you love it.

I can imagine some people may be comparing this game to L4D2, as both games multiplayer is based around the campaign stories, but unlike L4D2 its alot different:

You can choose a different class, both sides are equal, choose your load out, choose your body type and what your person looks like, your weapon attachments, you can take different routes from last time...etc. L4D2 however, is a great game, but its replay value is lacking, as the games usually play out the same, and doesn't allow for alot of variety. Not that i dont like L4D2, i love it, its a great game, but its lacking a bit. I know Brink will not be like this at all.

A little post-release content support will probably keep it playable for about a year, which is more than you can really expect from your average game.

It all depends


playing the game with friends, and playing the game with people you dont know and dont talk too is a whole diffrent story

So it matter on what you like.

That's the definition of repetitive, in a non derogatory sense. I think what he meant was "all shooters end up with you playing the same maps over and over, in the end - but the games you love you will keep playing no matter what". The sense that new content must come out in shooters to prevent repetition is something that consoles brought on in recent times. Back when I played HLDM, I could play the same 7 maps through on infinite loop and be happy for years. It's repetitive content but no two games were ever the same; that is the point of playing online. Something many people, particularly new to online gaming, seem to fail to realise.

Oh and hi forums... First post.

Welcome have an introductory turtle :turtle: Yeah i play loads of my older games, Settlers2, Transport Tycoon, Q3 some of my older games get more playtime than my new ones...

1) completly agree but take out HLDM (wah is that) and put in star wars battlefront 2 and 1. Every game was diffrent and every time you would be better and better untile someone else was better than you and you learn from tehm. But with the ammount of stuff you could do and can't do it made for a relaly epic experience.

2) Standard greeting here: Hi. checkout teh HORSE compendui and dont post threads without 1: reading the HORSE compenduim 2: using the search engine and 3: reading over other threads
My greeting: Waz up newbe welcome to the forums

:turtle: are complementary its a :spotted owl: u really want. Heey everyone who reads this. maybe we should give out :cheat: to newbiess eh?

still play Settlers 3 more than anything else

Didn't really like 3 taking out the road building made it too easy.

Nail is old and lazy

tried to use = instead of is, but forum freaked on me

I post :cheat: to topics I don't like.

Hi.

I read a compendium the other day to catch up (not sure if it's that one, but it was detailed enough) and already learned a lot about the game through the months since it was announced. Just haven't bothered posting until now Brink has my attention, it's looking quite good. And don't worry, I am a relative veteran to forums so I don't tend to post "When is beta out pl0x?" threads

I just feel the replay value card gets played on many forums for new games in recent years. Brink, like any shooter, will have replay value if it's fun and there are lots of people to play against. From what I've seen of Brink, the variance of travelling the maps should bring a lot of variety even in a normal play session on the same map.

Oh and HLDM = Half-Life Death-Match. One of the Granddaddies of FPS online gaming.

Like BFBC2, anything can happen! you never know what you will get yourself into. also, ive played Halo 3 ever since it came out in 2007, and still play it. still fun.

I think the fact that this game has an insane customization that it will be a lot less repetitive than other games of its kind.
