Reminds me of people complaining about how short the Fable games were. Yeah its short if all you did was the story but that wasn't the point of the game.

COD prestige is the biggest charade in FPS history. "Ok I got to the highest level, lets do it again." I got to tenth prestige in COD4 and only prestiged once in every COD game after that (played all of em since 4). The only things worth prestiging for is to get an extra customization slot. Banners, icons, colored clan names are such a BS reason to go through 50 levels of ranking multiple times. If thats your thing then enjoy it, however, I want to enjoy the perks & guns I unlocked for a few games I dont want to prestige as soon as Ive gotten the good stuff (including the second rank of perks). COD has made people actually want to strip themselves of all the goodies so that a stupid lil icon next to your name changes to a skull from a dragon. Plus most people just glitch to the highest prestige anyways so its not like any1 i see who has a high prestige I automatically think is good.

If you want to prestige in Brink its called make a new character (there are ten slots after all) and you can have a ton of fun playing from lvl 1 to lvl 20 again. I myself am going to be making a bunch of characters and trying out all the attachments, customization, body types, and finding all the crazy ways to get around a level using SMART as a way to get lots of playing time outta this game.

Why the biggest charade in FPS history? It was not forced on you :/ In brink you unlock everything within 7-10 hours. When I play an FPS online I want to work for my progression, work for my gear, work for my attachments and so on. there is nothing after level 20...nothing. Atleast in CoD you could choose to go into prestige mode.

And in BRINK, you can make a new character, has no one thought of this? The level 20 achievement is called ''Time to make a new character'' even

You might have all the unlocks, yeah - so does everyone else

But you can choose new abilites, maybe make a medic-specialist, do what the [censored] you want with the abilities, is trying out everything and having a good time not enough for some people?

And I know I might sound hateful, rude, snazzy or whatever - If I am, I'm sorry, I'm having a [censored] [censored] day

So, you are saying that you want an FPS to be an MMO? Because MMO's have that same formula that you are wanting out of an FPS. I hear there's a pretty popular MMO that you could play with millions of other people.

The FPS genre isn't about leveling your guy up and unlocking everything. It's about using the abilities that are handed to you and applying them to defeat the other team using teamwork. Brink, as it is, put in some more chips in the basket. They made it to where you are required to work as a team to win (which is the best freaking part of the game), made the game objective based (i haven't seen a scoreboard yet with a k/d...am i missing somehting here?), and has class specific roles to force you back into playing as a team.

Maybe it's because of where my gaming roots came from (PONG). Maybe it's because I have been gaming for 28 years. Maybe it's because I just understand what the different acronymns mean.

4 classes x 8 hours = 32 hours or less depending on you're skill ( wich will most likely been improved! ). And you will have all you have ever wanted. Compared to other shooters this is not much. Maybe you don't need that much rankings, progression or perhaps you don't want to concentrate that much on unlocking but even then.

you level up to fast and you can only go to level 20.

But it is the way it is I guess. I hope they will release some dlc and include atleast the option to attain more ranks.

Its the biggest charade in FPS history because it dupes people into replaying the game from lvl 1 only to unlock everything they already unlocked? Or even worst to downgrade ur perks from the better versions to the standard versions. In almost every COD game you unlock weapons and perks on the last level and then you prestige so you cant use them?

You say there is nothing after level 20 in Brink but there is nothing after level 50 in COD there's just the things u already unlocked (banners, icons, colors aren't anything that actually effect game play). If you want the same feeling of having nothing and starting over like in COD you can do it in Brink but you have to create a new character. At least in Brink you can use each of the characters you leveled to lvl 20 instead of just leveling the same character to level 50 a million times.

Im not a COD hater I have enjoyed every COD since 4 but I hate prestige. Prestige is giving the illusion of progression while actually just making you go in circles.

What is your obsession with ranking up and unlockables? I mean really. I know I suggested a very mainstream MMO for you to play, now I'll get even better and it's only gonna cost you your montly bill to your internet connection - go play facebook games. There are tons of them there that let you "rank up" and "unlock" things. Farmville much? Please, just stop talking now so we don't have to read about how much you can't stand to play a game that doesn't fit what you were expecting out of an FPS.

4 classes? There are 10 characters, so if you do it with the x 8 thing it's 80 hours, you can mix and match as I said before

Engineer/Operative?
Soldier?
Medic/Soldier?
Universal?
Medic/Operative/Soldier?

They can't give out DLC that includes: Unique weapons, attachments, levels, ranks or anything like it, what about those who don't want to pay up? Yeah, [censored] those guys - who gives a [censored], but it makes the playfield unfair, and I think most developers know this

They can include maps, more customization, maybe even female models which I highly doubt, stuff that doesn't make the playfield unfair to others

Progression is most definitely to quick.

I thought it was 300 000 EXP to get to 20? Is it?

Indeed there is nothing special after level 50 or 70 or whatever CoD game you played. But at least it was something. How little it might be it is still advancement. And it is generally known that most people like advancements through out the course of competitive online play. You may not like it, but the majority does. Highest rank and all gear within 10 hours...No sense of accomplishment in brink's case.

just stating the obvious. Most people like to work for their equipment and rank. nothing special about it. CoD does it, Killzone does it...Hell! almost every fps out there let's you work for every inch of extra health upgrade or attachment. You talk as if I am the only one here that thinks this is so.

Ask yourself this: Would I have minded a deeper ranking and unlock system?

If so, then you are in my opinion simple minded.

I like earning something, or working towards something. Even if its just gold plating for my gun, its kinda fun for me. Whats wrong with that?

» Wed Jan 05, 2011 11:41 am

nothing wrong with that Achromatis.

Some people want it all fast and easy. Understandable to some degree.

I like having things to unlock, but now with BRINK there is not, and I can accept the lack of unlockables, to be honest - I thought there would be more things to unlock, more challenges to do and all that stuff.. But there aint, and I'm fine with it - I wouldn't have minded us all getting some more stuff however.. But this is the way they wanted the game - this is how it is

I played Gears of War 2 for a very long time, and I didn't have to unlock anything at all - becuase there were no unlockables other than completing the campaign once

Still don't understand why people are so frustrated about me stating something that all of you should understand. You might not agree with me which is fine.

But you can't all deny that a better progression system would not have been such a bad thing.

You mean wouldn't, right?

Anyways.. Yeah, I can agree that a wider progression-system would've been better, if I hadn't already said this

Sadly as the title says i am lvl 20 after a lil over 7 hours of playing this game and have unlocked everything(except for a few achievements)

So what do i do now ?

Sadly, you are like many of us, being poisoned by the ridiculous idea of prestige mode. I think it was BRAVEHEART who reminded me of the days when we played Goldeneye 007 and there was no anything at all. Just gun, maps and friends, and it always equaled a good time.

» Wed Jan 05, 2011 11:04 am

It is just pretty hard to imagine that a better progression system steps on so many peoples toes.

great...A limit to my posting. Ugh! Did I spam a post or something?

Just like to say i played bc2 200+ hrs AFTER hitting 50 (max rank) which takes most people including myself about 400 hrs. Not to mention i had every gun and spec in the game unlocked by level 22. U sir, are a nub. Maybe they will make brink cataclysm so they can raise the cap for kiddies like u. Why dont u look back to game with no ranks, like cs. I know its hard to beleive but before COD and the millions of 14 yr olds playing it, in cs and ut skill was meausured by just that, skill. Youd say wow that guy Quick scope scouted me from across the map, hes good (or hacking lol

), or o damn is that guy godlike right now. You went on kill streaks because of skill, not pressing up on the dpad and watching +100 repeadily pop up ehile u camp in the corner. Even in a game like bfbc2 with ranks, its nit as if all the 50s are better than the 35s (tho there is a corelation). That being said, the correlation is largely time played in ranking not skill. Why dont u get online and play some fools and get ur [censored] rocked, then now what? Get better fool

» Wed Jan 05, 2011 12:17 pm

So Doomsiren, are you telling me you already played the game till the end?
If so, on Xbox or PS3? or pc by proxy?
PS. i don't like the story you're telling about the game....

Its making me sad, i thought it would take me like 70 or 80 playing hours to unlock the most cool stuff, but all unlockable within 10 hours of playtime?
Thats a BIG miss from the game developers. it all had been susponed for 8 months, what did you guys do in the meanwhile?
Not that i'm not a fan of the game, but it sounds a little disappointing if it is made so easy to accomplish. I need challenges to keep me going.
And then, this would be a big disappointment for me after seeing so much of the game before the releases.

First thing in my mind now, is that i have thrown 50 euro's away for the game. (thats 72 dollars for a game lads and gents!, Yes we europeans are paying the big price for it).

Well, i'll just wait and see what i has to offer. Back with a personal review on saturday midday (dutch time @ CET +1:00 hours)

» Wed Jan 05, 2011 9:29 pm

They probably should have added more cosmetic incentives and stretch out the leveling further. Making it possible to max out your skill and obtain every weapon in 10 hours isn't necessarily bad, but there should at least be some visual progression to convince people to stay. Gamers are usually elitist in one way or another, therefore vain, therefore dangling high level armour above will keep them playing even if it doesn't do anything.
