When a free game does literally everything better than your full priced product there's a serious problem. It's just such a shallow copy of an excellent. It makes me kind of sad/nostalgic to play it because I can't shake how much better it was in ET. Although I pine for the days of playing TMA and BGH with my friends as well, SC2 never really made me feel the way Brink does. It's just not good enough in its own right. | ||

That seems to have mostly fixed them for me. Tried this as well, didn't do anything either. I'll put it on the shelf until there's an official fix. I know a lot of people have the problem. It's just ridiculous that one day it works decently (a little choppy but OK overall) and that 2 days later just being in the lobby makes it seem like my computer is about to die. | ||

I own an aging laptop, so purchasing it for the PC is probably not the smartest choice, and I love the online experience of Xbox Live, but I was curious if anyone had experience on XBL playing Brink? I read the Gamespot review (here) and it sounds like most of the major issues (lag and AI behavior) could be fixed with some DL updates. Can anyone sell me on buying it now? I am a huge fan of Bethesda's games--like ES4: Oblivion--and I love FPS, but I don't know anyone who is playing it on Xbox. | ||

I also dislike how it's impossible to tell each of the classes apart at a glance - they really didn't learn anything from TF2 there... The game basically suffers from way too much visual detail in general, and it gets fatiguing after a while. And the reptition of the game really kills it for me when none of the other parts of the game works. | ||

The only big problem it have is the people playing it, the ones that don't get a damn clue about what kind of game this is :d I've seen people complaining about the lack of TDM on various forums, laughed so hard, this is an objective team based game, not a spray n pray casual fps for people with no brain that can push +forward and +fire all day, it take skills, à shit ton of teamplay, as much as an heavy knowing of the maps. This game possibilities are definetly pretty big, just looking at ESL, the 1st tourney will have a cash prize of 15 000€, there are already a ton of teams playing around ( i should say, learning around since at that point in time, no one on hearth know how to play the game at it's max possibilities). ps : < This is what is missing on every single "top review site" around, someone on their team that have figured out how to use the smart/jumps system/environnements so they can play the game the way it's designed and stop rating it 5/10 because it's not as good as cod series when it has NOTHING TO DO along with cod of bf games :d | ||

I can understand why someone who plays TF or ET can hate the game mainly because they have expectations that the game will play differently then it does instead of enjoying the game for what it is a fresh gameplay experience. I can also understand the people who hate it because of the bugs on 360 or ATI cards but for ATI I kinda blame the user on that one because that company has had problems with open gl. What I don't understand is how deathmatch players who don't know jack about teamwork would even think they would like the game in the first place. Did they think the game was going to be a spam feast? From what I've seen skill comes out on top in this game not camping, random shots, or knifing. Even with a light body type I'm able to win fire fights by aiming for headshots and positioning myself along with some tackles and melee knockdowns even though I have allot less health. I honestly was tired of FPS games until this game had come out and had stopped playing them. | ||

I love the mirrors edge like movement in an rts but sadly the maps dont fully exploit the Light vs heavy concepts. if the developers are listening though then those maps will be subject to change right? | ||

Starting about 36 minutes in (queued it up) Hutch does an interview with Richard Ham, from Splash Damage, about various things in Brink. I found it mildly interesting while trying to decide one way or the other on the game. Of note is that Splash Damage specifically designed tons of things to be tuneable without needing an actual patch (heard of a few other games starting to do that), to let them tweak things as needed in real time. One thing he mentioned was that if they find that offense or defense is having a hard time on a particular objective in a level, they can do something like change the respawn timer of one or both teams for that section of the level so that one of them has maybe a 12 second respawn and the other maybe 25 seconds. They also actually designed their bots to basically ignore the objective (aka, not plant the charge/hack/etc.) most of the time to let players "get the glory" so to speak, figuring that many players would rather do that than having a bot more or less beat the level for them. They do start trying when the timer starts ticking down (think 2 minutes or so was the example given) if the players haven't managed to get it done yet. That's tweakable as well and if feedback from the community says "make the bots try right from the beginning" then Splash Damage can make that change rather easily. He also mentioned something about the bot's relative "skill" related to how many humans are in the match, I think. I'd assume rank is another factor (go easy on the level 1 people that just got the game, essentially). The inclusion of bots (along with the limited number of maps) is one of my main concerns. Bots are great and all to have as an available option, but I'm not sure I'd want them in my online multiplayer. It sounds like you don't really get a choice, though. If there aren't enough human players/people drop out - welcome to playing with/against some bots. | ||

The lagginess of it will be fixed, eventually. I have it on a PC with a 5770, and it just took me a bit of tweaking to get it to run smoothly. | ||
