Throwing in the towel

Well, I've given the game an honest chance but I just can't do it any more. I survived the horrid A.I., lag ridden rooms and sub par graphics (it's 2011 Splash Damage) in an attempt to find a well balanced, competitive team based shooter only to find that this game is anything but. The final nail in the coffin for me was the totally unbalanced map design.

Say what you will about using appropriate tactics, teamwork or me not understanding the concept of the game (I'm aware it isn't Call of Duty which I am certain Infinity Ward/Treyarch are taking as a compliment) but the bottom line is that every time two evenly matched teams play the result will be dictated by the map. The multiplayer in this game feels like a tacked on experience with the true shame being that it IS the experience. If so much effort is required of the community to make the game playable what is supposed to draw new people in?

Maybe Brink 2 will be the revolutionary experience that the FPS genre needs but this game is not it. For those still trying to have fun with this game I wish you the best. Hopefully SD will make it playable before everyone has left. I'm out.
