Yup for the maps!

Still having fun on it. Stand up and be counted!

You shouldn't have to wait on the game to become good. The devs job is to make a product that is fun out of the package. They succeeded in a few areas at that but they overall failed to deliver a product that is playable out of the package. There should have been lobbies for multiplayer. Why? Because if its not broke don't fix it. I'm sorry to be the 'CoDiot' as I have seen people be called on this forum, but as far as I'm concerned... BRINK could benefit from some "SMART" design choices that are already proven. Instead of trying to be new and innovative, how bout we just make a game that is new and intuitive. Nothing about BRINK has been easy since day one. I love this game and might be the last of my friends that still have it. I'm sorry but this game WILL die if there aren't more changes made. At this point in the game it might be to late, but SD needs to work on something or I won't be buying BRINK 2.

Thanks all. I have so much hope for this game, but goddammit, SD needs to listen to the community if they give a [censored].

I am with you 100% OP, this game is awesome and does not receive the credit and recognition it deserves. Instead, it is constantly compared to Call of Duty.
I always hear crap like:
"OMG NO HEADSHOTZ WTF!? "
"I WANT MOAR KILLSTREEAKS AND LESS SKILL!"
And the classic:
"LOL WHAY DOESNT MAH KNIFE KILL U WHEN I STAB U IN TEH TOEZ!?"
It disgusts me.

I have to disagree with you saying the game isn't "playable" out of the box.

It runs fine.

There are some areas where it could be improved, there are some "innovative" ideas that didn't work (no lobbies being the big one), but as a full package, I'm quite happy with what I have, and I'm quite happy that it's not only "playable out of the box" but "playable to a good standard of enjoyment out of the box" as well.

It's getting too the point where you have to Autoerotic Asphyxiate the fun out of this game with a leather belt. Lack of game modes and a small selection of maps is killing it, imo.

It′s hillarious how the last survivors trying to defend BRINK.....
This Games got issues all over the freaking place...
Everyone of the MAJORITY who sold their copy +10
These Guys like it to play around with stupid Bots.
And on Top of it u are freaking out about a free DLC with 2 Maps and crappy clothing...LOL

Doesn′t matter how broken and bad supported this Game is u still like it
Doesn′t matter you pay the full price at release and wait weeks for nothing....
That′s the kind of sheeps SD definately needs.
But as we all know, the Eye-Q can never be to low...LOL
Now be a good Sheep (same 5 sheeps as every time lol) and defend ur Dead Brink... :brokencomputer:
:celebration:

True, but i don't have much of a choice. My local gamestop is only offering 15 bucks for it so I'm in a position were i have to wait.



Call of Duty isn't the problem. It is the "Modern Warfare" branch that ruined everything. Call of Duty: Finest Hour is an amazing game and beats Brink in almost every way except movement. WW2 Call of Duty was Amazing. Brink is better than Modern Warfare but thats not impressive to be honest. Shattered Horizon was better than Modern Warfare.
So because I'm gonna get called a CoDiot anyway I might as well explain why Call of Duty not "Modern Warfare" is suprior to Brink.

1.Story- The greatest war story ever told. WW2 and like Brink everyone had a reason to fight.
Germany- your average German wasn't a jew killing sociopath. They were told by the nazi party that the other nations were preparing to invade and that they should strike first to stop this and protect themselves. Going to be invaded by the same people who had made their life after terrible ww1, to a point that makes the great depression look like a crappy afternoon.
Japan-had thousands of years of overly insane amount of Honor insulted by the allies in ww1. enough said.
Allies- stop the two pissed off groups because it would hurt them and America wanted the excuse to pull itself out of the great depression.

Brink- Never develops the story in anyway. You don't even feel like both sides have a reason to fight. Theres no interaction between the two besides "OMG BLOWING THIS HATCH SAVING THIS DUDE" very Modern Warfare-Esq if you ask me.

2.Character Development-They had characters and they devolved and interacted with each other. They didn't sit in a corner yelling about oppression or terrorism like the people in brink did. They provided back stories on the players character and even showed the effects of war on them. The closest Brink got to that was the whiny emo Asian guy starting to wear black yelling more and more about how he was oppressed.

3.Sense of Involvment- The Brink developers pre-release talked about how pivotal your character is in the war and how much his choices change everything. I didn't feel that at all. i felt like some puppet for some guy who cant be bothered to actually control his army just my squad. He's in my ear yelling about command posts but cant be bothered to say no to the guys blowing up the reactor. At least in Call of Duty i got to see how I changed things.

Not dead on PS3.

Sorry to disappoint.

I imagine that many of the folks who've said or posted comments like that are still playing, and waiting for improvements with their fingers crossed. You'll notice how many who claim to have allegedly binned the game STILL SEEM TO BE HERE. It's an expression of abject disappointment.

In a way though, SD brought this on themselves, to be brutally honest. A miultiplayer game releasing with Brink's issues was ALWAYS going to receiving a slagging off.

Had we got a smooth (lag) and beautiful (graphics) game, which dropped us into a fair fight (map balance) between 2 teams of switched-on warriors (AI intelligence/balance) or let us play vs 15 other humans (lobbies) online, the only people chuntering would the TDM crowd, who I largely dismiss as buffoons anyway.

But even those, like me, who are loving the game, are beginning to tire of the issues discussed, limited modes and the woefully small number of maps (I think more modes would help breathe new life into the old, stale maps - they still need to fire some out, though and a bit sharpish). My personal instances of going 'Meh...'and turning Brink off because I'm getting bored, are on the rise. Only 1 of the 5 issues most grumbled about has been fixed, and the devs remain silent.

SD need to fix the game's known issues and fire out some heavily-loaded DLC if they want to have a community for Brink 2, if I'm honest. Whilst I swing between wildly really devoted fan to 'meh' depending on each day's experiences with the game, I can see the rats leaving the ship, and if they're paying even passing attention, so can Beth and SD.

They faced 2 firm timelines - the trade-in cut-off, which has passed, and the 'inital love wears off point', which is looming fast. Time to fix the issues and fire out the '10 new maps and 3 new game modes DLC'.

I'm off to play Brink now, in the hope that my team-mates don't make me rage quit in the next 30 mins. :whistling:

I play on 360 and since launch I've gotten minimal lag and graphical issues. This game is a blast, even without friends. The best thing is getting the "Best Overall" award when you've been playing an Operative the entire game and you have people scream at you to wonder how you did it. I was playing BFBC2 for a year before Brink and I've was waiting for Brink for about 2 and a half years. I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. I freaking love this game

I'm going to assume that you are talking about the PC version,because it was pretty much lag free for me,nor did I have any problem with the graphics at launch.Unfortunately,it seems to have reversed since the latest patch.While rubberbanding is less from what it initially was,now I just get straight up lag(latency) when ever I throw grenades or shoot.

Also,for the first time yesterday,there was some huge texture drop in the sessions that I was in yesterday.Everything looked washed out.Now it seems that they have to release a patch to fix this patch.

In all,I still find the game to be very fun.I like the fact that I can still contribute and have fun even if I'm playing like crap,and quite frankly,that's all that counts.

nope enjoy the hell out of brink . I try to get my friends to jump on but they are of the holy cod crowd and they are true to said religion lol, this game imo will be played by a small community for the longrun so no worries. it reminds me of shadowrun in so many ways (no real campaign, mainly objective based, so diff in style that normal fps players dont like it much) , and just like shadowrun i will be playing as long as i can find a room that is at least half full.

I love Brink and I plan on buying all the DLC's as it is more fun than CoD because you HAVE to do the objective in order to get more xp...

I love Brink I PLAY IT STILL

I been going back to Ps3 though to play free games and killzone 3 dlc hehe... but other then that.. tf2+brink (XBOX) = MY WEEKDAYS

The only problem with Brink is the lack of players... or at least those who play it right...

I predict it will turn out the same way killzone 2 did though... 1 1/2 years down the road there will be an EXCLUSIVE community playing...but they will all be dedicated hardcoe team players who play to play the game... teh casuals and annoying scrubs will move on. (Most at least)

In short... I will still be playing it (as I do with tf2 on xbox) a long time from now... and heck look at tf2 on xbox it still has around 400 players 4 years after launch. being not anywhere near as complete as the pc version.

Furthermore, I want to say how much I love the high health in Brink. I love that if I am getting shot at then I have time to react, instead of dying from a stray bullet to the pinky toe from someone praying and spraying. KZ2 was more like Brink in terms of health but then another great franchise decided to go the COD route and KZ3 is crap because of it, so I'm grateful that Brink offers that same kind of skilled gunfights as KZ2.

God no! I love Brink still. Can't wait for DLC though, I hate getting meaningless exp for my level 20 characters (Who I prefer playing as)

Lots of opinion in here. I personally think BRINK is Epic!

I am a bit weary of playing bots however.

It would be cool to play Big Teams filled with only Human players.

Im not selling or trading this game yet!

Feel free to add me ( MD45 ) for Multiplayer madness.....

My 2c ( for what its worth ) ........

brink is a love or hate kinda game... its not the cookie cutter fps.. so thats why we get so many conflicts..
i enjoy brink

I love CoD (except for Black Ops :down: )
But I also love Brink.
So the answer to your question is NO WAY JOSE :foodndrink: :thumbsup:

Im on PC

Brink is only Game ever that kept me away from W:ET for almost 3 weeks.

COD, BF etc etc never had any luck with that.
