Both TLers and reviews seem to be more negative than positive about this game, makes me glad I canceled pre-order. Even if it was worth playing I doubt my computer could run it at a respectable framerate. Game looked like it had potential but so far I'm sticking with TF2.

There seems to only be 1 spawn point... is that foreal? Have they not learned from previous shooting games, I don't see how that can possibly be a good thing. Even if there's an invulnerable turret guarding spawns, that just means a team losing can be backed up and camped coming around the first turn.

It's based on team spawn on a timer. How is this an issue?

Red Orchestra does the same exact thing.

I actually pre ordered this game on accident. I was messing around with my new Amazon App on my phone. The one-click ordering, is in fact one click, go figure. Anyways, I've learned since then that the game looks pretty bad ass and I'm really feeling all of the customization. I also got some extra DLC for pre ordering through Amazon, as well as a $10 credit.

I'll be playing on xbox live, if anybody is interested in playing, let me know as it seems like a game with a heavy emphasis on team play.

Gametrailer summary about the console version: "If you're looking for a team-based game that isn't Team Fortress 2, Brink might be the right game for you."

This game from the start was meant to be a pure, 100% team based FPS. So much that KD wasn't even recorded, and still isn't. A main criticism of IGN is that the game is "too focused on teamwork for its own good."

I think I'll wait to play it myself. If IGN and other reviewers give Metro and Stalker a 6/10, and then this game gets a 6/10, that just means good for me.

It really doesn't look that good IMO; it's a bit too hardcore to casually pick up and play and lacks the depth for an intense FPS that I'd want to play every night.

yeah... but atleast in tf2 you can go off by yourself and be fine. this game looks like if you run off alone you would just die. from what i seen its doesnt look great at all

Watching JP's stream and the game looks fine to me. Then again I loved quake wars. Just looks like the guns need some serious patching but really I don't understand the criticism at all.

And Joystiq just utterly destroys the game:

2/5

I wonder when devs will start focussing on gameplay again instead of utterly useless customization.

The game is getting KILLED in reviews. In this day and age of reviewers giving crazy high scores for any derp; this is very alarming.

"WAAAAAAAAAH I CANT RUN OFF AND KILL THE ENTIRE TEAM BY MYSELF IN A GAME MADE SPECIFICALLY TO ENFORCE TEAMWORK"

The game is getting KILLED in reviews. In this day and age of reviewers giving crazy high scores for any derp; this is very alarming.

This is a day in age where, as I said earlier, glorious games like Stalker gets a 4 and Metro 2033 gets a 6. And CoD and Homefront get 10/10's. What the hell do you expect? Do people honestly look at reviews still?

I rarely listen to reviews...but destructoid usually gives a good clue In My Opinion.
