CARL ON DUTY BLACK COPS IS THE WORST GAME EVER IF IT WAS REALISTIC WHY DO THEY HAVE MONKEY ZOMBIEALIEN THINGS THAT THROW GRENADES BACK AT YOU...makes no sense :meh:

BRINK is a better game in terms of depth.

I would actually say no to Battlefield 3 beating COD. Battlefield is a whole different game, and you cannot expect to run and gun to win, especially with vehicles around. Most likely you'll have newbies to Battlefield 3 ragequitting because they can't accept that they're losing and think they can own at COD.

Beating Call of Duty? No. Even with it's supposedly "disappointing" entry of Black Ops, it's still kind of an established franchise. People tend to stick to what they know instead of risking money on an unknown property.

Especially since games cost SO gosh-darn much! (With my part-time job, buying just one new game takes up over 50% of my bi-weekly paycheck! This is why I also tend to stick with what I know, too.)

Now, Brink holding its own against Call of Duty (as long as a Call of Duty is not released at the same time as it, of course)? Maybe. It's not the same kind of game as a Call of Duty game, so it would probably not attract that particular audience, ya know? So, it's more for people who would like something different than Call of Duty or something similar to Battlefield/Team Fortress 2 (because of the Classes/Objectives/Teamwork thing).

I really don't know. I think it may be a sleeper hit at the most.

I'm with you - The majority of my friends talk about video games everyday, with less mainstream games being the main topic. However, every time I bring Brink up, they'll quickly change the subject to just about anything. I'm willing to bet half of them hate it, and feel it would intrude against CoD.

thats becuase they know COD will get owned brink!!!

CoD has done seemingly irreversible damage to the FPS genre.
High bullet damage makes it just about who sees who and fires first instead of who is more skilled, this is why CoD is full of campers.
Killstreak rewards that lead to vicious cycles, people who can get many kills in a row don't need any more help, especially from chopper gunners. The system just reeks of imbalance.
Nothing about CoD encourages teamwork, just mindless running and gunning for the sake of kills.

Any team-based game like BRINK who manages to avoid the CoD influence deserves respect IMO, I've seen what it did to KILLZONE3. Resistance 3 is succumbing to the CoD influence as well, (going from 64 players to 16 players, adding killstreak rewards). IDK how this game will do in sales, but from what I've seen its 100x better than CoD. I don't expect any shooter to outsell CoD.

No Brink will not hold it's own against CoD, even though Brink will probably be better.

maybe we will only know once we get there and fond out but if people look into it and the adds for it are good it could steal a chunk of Cod's gamer base.sadly i doubt this will happen but bigger titles like BFBC3 might help bring COD to its demise

I agree as long as nine year olds out there have game systems COD can stay alive

Yea but still for instance there had to be a first cod to continue on now think about brink being able to bring constant sequals that will destroy cod and its [censored] from head down

The first CoD compared to the CoD that's out now are two really different games. I actually don't think Brink will come out with no more than a 2nd one...maybe a 3rd.

r u high brink has the best customizations out of any game by far and the gameplay goes way beyond other games heads and if u think for one second that cod will survive you r really stoned!

What are you talking about? That reply had nothing to do with what I just said. Yes CoD will survive. I'm not saying Brink doesn't have amazing things and I know it will be better than CoD, but it won't hold it's own against CoD.

Prodigy?(warning this is going to be a long one)

Your just one of the few people that dont experience lag compensation that ruins the game for the people who do. Yes, im talking about COD. I have owned every COD game since COD 4, and every game after it (especially Activision games) it has gotten worse. in COD 4 you could only notice it when you run behind cover and then die and then on the killcam from your enemies perspective you arent behind the wall when you knew you were.

on MW2 you would be watching a path to an objective, an enemy comes around the corner and seems to instantly lock onto you and kill you in the time that it takes to fire two bullets while you were able to get off about three shots. on the killcam the enemy would come around the corner and you would be sitting there like a [censored], they would fire like ten rounds in your direction and you would die. it wouldent even show the rounds that you managed to get off in your screen.this was only about one third of the games you played though and the game still held my interest. i stayed on untill the quickscopers/OMA pro noobtubers came around. i got annoyed and went back to COD4, the first game i had i went 81 and 11. tell you anything about where the series is going.

WAW had the same problems but worse. about 2/3 of the games you played had it. i played for about two months then quit.

and finally Black Ops. where to start. black ops is unplayable for people who have lag compensation problems (about 95% of players i have talked to) . about 99% of the games i play have horible lag compensation problems. I think about here is the best place to mention that i have a good connection (host about 60% of games) so that is not the problem. the games i have that lag compensation dosent affect me i do amazing. after about two weeks i decided that no amount of practice/skill i have would save the game for me and i quit.

one more thing before i answer the thread. i played Crysis 2 and had the notorious freezing issue. most of my friends/recent players had the same problem. i talked to two people who didnt have the problem. funnily these two people were the same two people that had previously told me they did not have any lag compensation at all. also Oblivion/Fallout3/New Vegas didnt freeze for them. coincidence? if anyone has any answeres for this question or any information on lag compensation reply to this and send me a message on my profile as well.

No i dont think that BRINK will topple the COD giant. there are just too many people who will buy them even though the franchise is being milked into the ground.

Since I refuse to read this entire thread here's my 2 cents:

Who cares about CoD and what does it have to do with Brink?

No one and nothing are the correct answers.

/End thread.

Your welcome.

I didn't get to say thank you yet. So thank you Wraith. :bowdown:

That's simply wrong.

The issue is Stopping Power, because it turns every weapon into a hardcoe-mode-lazorgun.

For the people who bought the 360 and the ps3 simply for cod games can keep that hunk of junk. For the people that actualy are really good at shooters, i hope they stay with cod and satisfy their hunger for easy kills on the souls of the children who play in that garbage can. Leaves room for me to shine on the other console shooters :celebration: For real gamers who actually play a variety of games and different genres. We can enjoy all the cool new inovative things that cod fishermen will never experience.

Basically the mob of cod fishermen( and the few fisherwomen) will always side with cod; none of them will ever turn their back on the only game on their dusty shelf. As for gamers, deveolpers, testers, and others. We can enjoy the fresh air that is breathed into the fps genre and industry.

Brink won't knock cod of its throne, but who cares. cod is like prison for gamers anyway with its strict formula; you can only do so much within those games; it's very confined. But with Brink there looks like there will be a good measure of freedom that allows you to choose how you want to play with fewer constraints.

I've played with with 13 year old's on more games then CoD, not all of them are like that, some of them are even more mature then the 17 y/o's on these kind of games, it really just depends.

cod is gay stop talking about it in a BRINK FORUM TALK ABOUT HOW BRINK IS BETTER :swear:

It's saddening how you're a year older than me and you act like this. :shakehead:

Well, I think Brink in terms of game-play, is going to destroy. Fan base is another story, in which CoD will always win.

You are welcome.



Why state the obvious? :spotted owl:

:confused: i act like this dude you have been ranting about call of duty in a diffrent forum that makes absolutely no sense...god i hate little kids :nono:

Well said redstar, the truth...has...been...spoken :intergalactic:
