» Tue Feb 15, 2011 8:33 pm Sound- Voice work is top notch but i was dissapointed that i (as i exected) couldnt choose my voice for a specific nationality. Instyead it is like MAG when choosing a voice where you choose the one that sounds the best. The guns sound perfect for either faction and muzzle breaks add flair.
Playability- SMART isnt used as often as i thought it would but when used it is alot of fun. Sliding is only really used for going into a grooup of enemies with a shotgun or trying to dodge enemy fire. Aiming,leaning,hip firing work amazing. Its perfectly balanced when your sliding and shooting, your accuracy is lossed but still their. Same for when using SMART. After playing a few missions i wanted to ulock some gear so i went to teh challenges. The challenges only really focus on engineers and so does most of the capaighn. (i only played security. Beat it) In one challenge you are forced to switch between classes and complete that classes objective. The first time it was ok my team did some of teh covering but once i got to the secons diffuculty my team just svcked. the AI almost always all group and go for teh ebjective which always leads them to certain death. They revive if your close and barely hand out any buffs. Their are almost no Primary Objective AI. They will instead stand around until you get it but usually its to late (especially with bombs) I still find my self in awe when the AI does work because of how well it works. I wwas playing on ps3 and from the reviews on youtube, people were playing on xbox and it seems all the LAG problems come from XBOX. My game was fluid and non laggy and the only hiccups were when i was close to the enemy. PSN is down so iam can't get a review for multiplayer.
Customazation- well done. Their are alot of choices for players styles and colors and textures to choose from. Some clothing options dont have color options. Gun wise once you unlocke the attachments by completing a challenge are very good. you can move teh gun around and its easily displayed what going on the gun, comming off, and how its affecting the gun stats
Dissapointments: Grenades go off with a slight dirt pume and then its over. You cant throw grenades far and they take a while to cooldown, almost unnecassarily so. If i were to take out one thing it would be the flashbangs. They just dont work well with the aurora of brink. Also engineers are way to over used and medics way to under used. whehn i switched to an engineer and died their were no medics on my team. Their are to little abilitites to choosee from. I thought when i leveld up i would get more but nope. Their are roughly 6 to 8 for each class and some arnt even that good. You bettter off with the universal abilities.
I wasnt to mad at this game but i still wish their was a little more of everything. It was awsome when it was flowing but the campaighn is to short. The devs were right 5 hours for the security campaighn on normal but i flew through it only losing once or twice. Rating 4 and half stars and 9/10. This is from only beatig the security campaighn and getting to rank 2.
