I love class based, anti-spam, simple shooters. That's why I am still playing Day of Defeat Source! ♥

So disappointed. I wasn't even going to buy this, but read a review from a top Et and decided too. What a waste of 50$. If you want to play this game competitively. You might want to rethink buying. I can see this game being a fun casual game with friends, but nothing more.

Reasons
- it's extremely easy. I mean really easy if you have any fps exp.
- it's repetitive and you just spray for the most part. There is recoil, but it doesn't really kick in until you've almost killed someone. So, spray your main, switch and finish the job easily.
- I don't find any unique skills which give the game a high skill cap. Too me the skill cap o this game for individuals is going to be weak. You can say but thats where healing and ammo comes in. Give me a break. That's the easiest part of the game healing and dumping ammo.


I run the game perfectly. I had no problems with anything and I know so many do. However, their developers promised a competitive game and I just don't see it. It may have leagues and whateve for a few months, but they will only last until a new flavor of the month arrives.

Back to sudden attack the best competitive team fps since cs.

You can say but you only played it a day. Yea and I dominated every match I was in. Its easy as I said in the beginning. So very very easy.

Its amazing how quickly people are writing this game off.

Its not COD, get over it.

It was made by the same people who made RTCW: ET which was a really big team based game. That's exactly what Brink is. It's a game that requires you to stick together. Some say it's very easier. You obviously haven't played it that long. The bots get rather tough when you start to level up. I will admit that the game does have it's bugs, but to give it a 6/7 out of 10 is a bit absurd. Give it a chance.

Edit: I bought it for the 360, which does not seem to suffer the same frame rate issues as the PC
ITS A TRAP!

Yeah I don't see it becoming a good competitive game. Frankly we'll be lucky if it ever achieves the status of just being an all around fun if not highly competitive game like TF2. It's a shitty game built on a foundation that is proven can be great (objective team based fps) which overall can only make it a shallow imitator of those great games.

My prediction is it gets brushed under the rug after it bombs on consoles and there's no future in selling DLC (which it seems like this game was designed to prioritize over actually being a good game)

A friend of mine pre-ordered and won't listen when I tell him why this game isn't going to be as amazing as the trailers hyped it as being.

Waiting for him to tell me whether it was actually any good before I dump $50 on it.
For he is the Oystermeister, lord of all the oysters.

My main disappointment with the game is how their big selling point, the movement system, seems to be completely detached from the actual combat. If they're going to make a game based on fancy moves, why couldn't they integrate some of them into combat.

The point I'm trying to make here is that an old, small, free, independent mod for Half-Life 1 (The Specialists) has much more satisfying combat than a modern, triple-A, constantly delayed, full price game.

What the hell happened to the old style of FPS that used elements within the game to add funky movement tricks? I'm mostly thinking about the Quake series here... It didn't need ridiculous "SMART" buttons to move you around. It had an insane skill ceiling in just WASD, mouse movements, and weapons that kicked you around.

It even had a mod, "defrag" where players decided that it was more fun to time themselves moving through amazing community-made maps, than playing yet another FFA/TDM/CTF/whatever match.

I know that these mechanics aren't very transparent or clear to the player (i.e Q3 strafejumping), but nowadays every bloody newbie can go to YouTube and find hundreds of instructional videos and learn how to do this stuff.

Learning these little intentional "bugs" or "exploits" in the Quake games was a million times more satisfying to me than I imagine pressing a SMART button to be.

Then again, haven't tried this yet, so I may have to revise this position later on.


Kind of like BW ---> SC2 you mean? Units with big flashing signs that say "micro me!!"


I'm sure the devs are sorry that they could not introduce a bug with a fun quirk that is discovered in 3 hours of release.

Consider that there might be some other bugs with the smart system open to abuse. But hey thats ok, all the feedback of "BUT ITS NOT ET/COD/CS/TF2" is sure to result in a more diverse market.

Fine the game may actually be shit, but it feel's a bit overblown.

Dystopia (a HL2 mod) is definately one of the best team games out there, but hardly anyone plays that game.


Playing Brink last night made me and my friends want to start up Dystopia again.

Just like Dystopia you need to take some extra time to wrap your head around how to play it properly. You can't just run and gun.

These two articles pretty much explain why Brink is getting so much hate from early reviews and console players. Basically the review demo was buggy and the console version isn't on par with the PC version.

I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and pointless.

I knew this game would flop (360 version rated D on 1up). In the intro videos for brink they kept touting the movement system as something "revolutionary". I didn't see anything special to it, just some automated vaulting and climbing system.

I was more of an action-half life guy, but I can see your point. This game does nothing that previous (and even free mods) have done a long time ago.
I used to be just like you, then I took a sweetroll to the knee.

Agreed. The PC version of Black Ops was so unplayably horrible at launch rofl.

I think you should go to YouTube and search for defrag to see what it is I mean. Hell, I got time, I'll do it for you:

I personally like the game very much (playing on PC). It's nearly everything I wanted from SD. Sure it has some problems (unplayable for some owners of ATI graphic cards and on xbox) and it needs some tweaks to work better competitively but I'm sure SD/Bethesda will fix this and once the SDK is out everything will be fine

Most negative complaints are either about the performance problems right now, lack of Singleplayer or just because of very very wrong expectations about the game.

If you play this game on PC and only care for a good multiplayer and know what to expect from an Enemy Territory game, this game rocks!

Having played ET for years I can't disagree more with this statement. Mapdesign is beyond horrible. Sometimes you are forced to fight in some really small and narrow passages. Weapons are boring and most of the time it's spray and pray. Movement feels clumsy (I'd rather have no SMART at all), also what kind of bullshit is this with the new gamedesign where literally EVERYTHING (shooting, jumping, reloading, etc.) makes you move slower. In my opinion FPS games should stop trying to be realistic and focus more on awesome gameplay with solid movement, high skill ceiling, great mapdesign and diversity. So ... everything that Brink does not have, lol 8-[

Also I kinda dislike that you can't win 1vsX if your oponents are at least somewhat decent, since the only thing you really can do in fights is stand there and spray. Movement only matters if you try to get to where the action is but is almost impossible to pull of IN FIGHTS because ... well, you are slow as hell while shooting and you die really fast.

Only thing I really like about this game are the fun classes and the body type system, which is something I'd like to see in future games. Also I like how your health regenerates over time if you're out of fight, which adds at least a little bit of tactical decision making.

If you're looking for a competetive game than Brink will not satisfy you, though. If you just want to kill some time and you enjoy casual gaming than Brink might be fun. At least up to level 20 (which is like 10 hours of play)

Game is definitely overhyped.

Wish they just gave ET a graphical update. I'd even play the same maps all over again. I'll take gold rush over any of these maps. And does every class have a buff to hand out? Am I playing an fps or world or warcraft? it seems the most important skill toi have in this game is the ability to press your F key

It's just.. ugh. Like ET has been boiled down to a primitive state where we all grunt and spray our weapons while holding F on various objects

So, I bought it despite some of the terrible reviews. I just spent the last five hours going hard. I can see how there are concerns about it being competitive... but damn it is pretty fun.

I also disagree about 1v2+ being totally impossible... although it is possible that I have been playing with five yearolds all day, I suppose.
