Enforcing team play is not always a good thing. In Wolfeinstein ET you could go own your own and be a real pain for the other team if you were good enough. One sniper was able to keep a team from advancing if he was good enough..

I haven't really paid any attention to this game or even know if this is the case but FPS games are not usually very fun if there can be no aspect of 'clutch' or being able to make a large impact on a game by yourself. If the game is just solely based around who's team is more coordinated or whatever then I don't see the game being fun to play in pubs or without friends. Plus I don't really play FPS games to 'win', I just play for a bit to get some frags and have fun (I mostly play Quake and TF2) & I think it's a bad idea for games to not let you play it how you want.

Neither Stalker and Metro were highly anticipated games. When a highly anticipated game like Brink gets panned by reviewers (when they all have early copies from the publisher) it's never a good sign. You just said it yourself. CoD and Homefront got 10's.

are you watching jp stream? im not impress. it doesnt look like there would be any impressive kills you can have. and there are no stats wtf? there's some weird crap that show XP. i wanna feel like i accomplish something if i get a head shot or like they explode or something. but they lay on the ground waiting to get revive just looks so lacklustered.

Now that is a MUCH better review.

I run on an ati card an no problem with me. The game looks great, it's like borderlands and the cut scenes are actually incredible. No idea why you're getting 20 fps =(

If the devs fix the lobby and chockepoint-map issues I'll definately get this game. Otherwise it depends on what my friends are going to do.

Ati cards have the fantastic feature where if your drivers are too new your card starts to fail. I think that's the issue here. Try downgrading your driver version to 7 or so, that'll usually fix it.

After playing Brink for a little while, I can definitely get on board with that review. The mechanics are brilliant -- the parkour, the class design, the way objectives and teamwork are emphasized, the art style, even the shooting. It's just brought down by horrid map design, the questionable unlock system (get all the guns in 45 minutes! get all the clothing in a day!), and other bits and pieces that leave me scratching my head.
And for god's sake don't even bother trying to play the "single player".

Not sure how the game expects to remain popular if you can full unlock everything within a couple days and reach the level cap. Seems like it will appeal to a niche crowd at best, but that crowd is probably more satisfied with other FPS.
I guess, enjoy it while it lasts, I wouldn't buy it unless you have money to throw away. Perfect game to rent it seems, which is the exact opposite of how they were hyping it.

Not that I think this game is actually good, it looks really generic and boring, but why are people so obsessed with XP/unlocking/stats and stuff like that? Do people not remember when you could play a multiplayer FPS and use any gun you want if it was in the level or available for your class? A game should expect to remain popular by the fact that it is fun to play, not how long it takes to unlock all the guns... I wish FPS games hadn't tried to add all this RPG grinding stuff to pretend like the game is worth playing.

That's just how it is now a days. StarCraft 2 would probably have half the people playing it if there wasn't icons to unlock. Not to mention the lack of statistics in Brink, I mean seriously how can they not at least record kills and deaths.

Yea I was watching jps stream as well and frankly my opinion of the game right now is that it's pretty garbage for a variety of reasons. Lots of ideas but the overall game just doesn't seem very well polished at all.

lol, complaints like this...
Can't you just play the game for fun and not for unlocking shit and getting XP? I mean, great MP titles like Quake, CS, Starcraft, Warcraft,.. never had stuff to unlock. Splash Damage just doesn't want this to be WoW.

This game looks a lot like Wolf: ET except not as fun :S

back when tf2 had one set of weapons for each class and no stupid hats... those were the days

I'm loving the game so far. I guess if you think FPS games should be RPGS you wouldn't like it but I'm in the camp that hates everything COD4 did to the genre.

Ye would be cool to know how the engine/netcode feels on a "good" server.
