Sorry for the short post but will update, when I get to a pc, as I am typing this from my droid phone.


Brink
Brink is a first-person shooter with a focus on parkour-style movement. Online multiplayer servers hold up to 16 players. You can play cooperatively or competitively or against bots.

You can customize your character and buy items with experience points, which you earn by completing objectives. The same experience points can be earned in both single-player and multiplayer.

Splash Damage developed the SMART (Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain) System. By noting a player's position and predicting what he is trying to do, it lets players navigate complex environments without equally complex input.

There are four character classes: the soldier, the medic, the engineer, and the operative. The Soldier resupplies teammates and uses explosives to destroy important targets. The Engineer buffs their teammates' weapons and builds stationary turrets. The Medic heals fallen teammates and buffs their teammates' health. The Operative interrogates fallen opponents to get intel on enemy locations, performs acts of sabotage, and disguises himself as the enemy. Bethesda also claims 102 quadrillion total unique characters when factoring in minor variations.

The Squad Commander system gives players context-sensitive missions. A variety of factors -- where the player is, how good he is, his overall mission progress, etc. -- determine what the missions will be. During play both online and off-, the player can defend one of his faction's command posts or capture an enemy's command post.

i know im super Stoked to get this game and i get it on the midnight release what about you guys!? maybe we can get a TLN team for release night

I've heard it both ways from interviews on youtube. But either way it gets the point across.

[Makin]

It's like Bulletstorm and Blops had an effed up baby

[D Moralize]

the game does look really sweet but im not sure if the smart system will actually re define gaming, to me it seems kind of like mirrors edge or just an action button that changes depending on where you look, depending on how the meta evolves this may actual hinder the game if your trying to slide under something but vault onto it instead because the system is to sensitive, or you cant shoot up an someone because you have to look down so that you can slide instead of jumping, where in halo i can look wherever I want and still evade. Im really looking forward to it, I just have some doubts about how smart the system will actually be.

[AdamInCharge]

Brink was a pretty chill movie

[Justin21]

looks sick! gona have to try it out

I think what you will find is top players that use this button more often the normal positioning will have a higher look sensitivity, then the average joe.

[HavkinKnight]

i like it cuz its also got a RPG element to it. you can level up classes to unlock more stuff and that to me rocks cuz its a MMO FPS Competive game. you have missions and quest not just first to 50 kills or what ever.

[ZeroCool]

Brink was a pretty chill movie

lol yes it was...

[Briimstone]

Looks sick! I like the idea of an MMOFPS like Havkin said! Definitely will be a competitive and new game! May 17...

[TLN Darkside]

Brink was a pretty chill movie

LoL yes it was.

It reminds me of Mirrors Edge. I dont know how good of a competitive game it would be but it looks like it would be a super fun game to solo.

[Eclipse]

MLG is looking at it as a possible pick up, but this is a rumor.

[KRILLIN]

Looks pretty sweet. Let's hope it delivers.

[D Moralize]

MLG is looking at it as a possible pick up, but this is a rumor.

I really doubt that because the game isnt out yet so they have no idea how successful it will be, probably just a rumor right now

[AntKeyyy]

From the trailers and all the videos I watched last year, the game looked pretty sick. I think I would get bored after playing it for awhile though... We'll just have to see!

[Eclipse]

I really doubt that because the game isnt out yet so they have no idea how successful it will be, probably just a rumor right now

I understand that, but when it comes out I don't doubt that you will at least see gb pick it up after a few weks to put up some base settings.

[KRILLIN]

I understand that, but when it comes out I don't doubt that you will at least see gb pick it up after a few weks to put up some base settings.

Anything that you can compete in is on GB for the most part so I agree with you there. If the community is thriving enough, MLG will have to consider it.

[Joe Fries]

Thought Mioff was going to be the one to make this thread. I'll probably end up picking it up on the release day.

[Hylian]

I am very excited for this game, we should play!
There is a much more in depth thread at the MLG Forums (http://forums.majorleaguegaming.com/topic/154949-brink/page__hl__brink) if you're interested.

[HavkinKnight]

yeah Hylian im down to play!!!! :) and Joey ill call you when i get on Tuesday to see if you wanna play.

[D Moralize]

I know I said i was gonna wait havkin but all day at work today read the MLG thread, I think I might have to get this on monday also

[DownSide]

BRo hit me UP im sike For Brink GT= zDownSideZ inv!!!!!!!

[Serious Sammer]

i hope to start playing the single player tonight of it when i get home from work

[JaySeph]

Gettin that on the midnight release for sure, doesn't that Gamestop is literally around the corner from my house so I can just stop there real quick and grab it haha. But ya hit me up online that night Havkin I am in.

[Makin]

Thought this was Brink the movie -_____- bummed

[Antidote]

Oh I've been planning this release date buy for a while. I can't wait for this game.

[HavkinKnight]

yeah i use to work at the GameStop i buy all my games from its 2 mins from my house lol i always get home at like 12:05 the night it comes out so yeah i got a list of people i think we can have a Full Party (helps so people can play roles and we can enjoy the game better) im Very Very Stoked i have been all the way back when they announced it in Late 2008

[Smallz08]

this game sounds a lot like team fortress 2 to me except for the parkour style movement.

[itwuzmagik]

i am def getting this game :) a lot of competitive value :) reminds me a little of ShadowRun

[HavkinKnight]

what i like is every class levels up you can create 16 Characters so you can start over (not prestige) AND you get EXP for every bullet that hits so if you do most of the DMG you get EXP even if a Sniper kills or a teammate steals it so it provokes Team play saying it dont matter who gets the kill everyone is gonna get EXP and stuff so people wont be selfish also the amount of guns and Custom stuff you can do i feel like its gonna be just awesome!

[DownSide]

add my i wont get the midnight relses but ill get the next mornign

[Eclipse]

This thread has been made before. Please use the search function.

[Gruntly]

From the trailers, I really want to see MLG put this game into the circuit...unless it sucks. But from what I've seen...it looks like a mix of Shadowrun and TF2, which are two great games!

[Morgan]

Looks interesting! Should I buy this for xbox or pc?

[Antidote]

Yes.....yes it does.

[Eclipse]

I Still searched for it and i kept getting the try doing an Advanced search its not like i did this on purpose bro. thanks for the Merge.

Not trying to be rude, but if you looked at the PC shooters first page, it was there. You really didn't even need to use the search button. But its okay now.

[JaySeph]

Yeah Havkin there is a midnight release at the gamestop near my house, apparently the guy said as far as he knows they are the only gamestop for like 100 miles doing a midnight release and its their own choice, not the company, there isnt a midnight launch for brink scheduled they did it cause they have a ton of paid of preorders here haha SOOO lucky, so I will see you guys the next day online. After playin all night lol And add me back Havkin you deleted me a while ago for some reason :P

[HavkinKnight]

see Eclipse im counting this as a 360 title not PC so chances are low i would have even checked the PC section im sorry i was quick to create a NEW thread and i dont think ur rude it was a simple mistake on my part.

Jay i accepted your new Friends request lol im not sure y i deleted you off my friends list in the first place lol sorry bro i ment nothing by it.

[heuer89]

Jay i accepted your new Friends request lol im not sure y i deleted you off my friends list in the first place lol sorry bro i ment nothing by it.

You put this in the PC Shooter section yourself... SMH

Anyways it was proved you were obviously wrong, quit trying to cover yourself.

[Gruntly]

This question may have already been asked, but does anyone know if the pre-order customizations (Psycho, Doom, etc.) are exclusive to those pre-orders, or will they be available later in game to anybody?

[HavkinKnight]

i tought this was the shooter Section (assuming it was system based seeing as we play a system Shooter on MLG) i had no clue we ONLY have a PC shooter section seriously bro idk y you gotta be all spiteful about this. im not trying to be rude or bash anyone here and to say im trying to cover my self bro c'mon its not the first time someone made a thread about something already posted about by mistake.

@Gruntly Im not sure i hope so but i doubt it i think most of it is just skins anyway meaning chances are low that you will see it as DLC

[JaySeph]

Idc I got that doom code one hahaha, Ima pick it up in like 24 hours and be on it all night just cause it looks sick and I love to freerun so this should be great. :) Havkin you know my GT is X Clepto right? CAAAUUUSSEEE it still says pendin lol And I take no offense bro :)

[Eclipse]

I'm going to make a list so that people can put their tag/ system up so people can play.

[Gruntly]

@Gruntly Im not sure i hope so but i doubt it i think most of it is just skins anyway meaning chances are low that you will see it as DLC

I figured as much, thanks.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse...definitely do that, I know I'll be playing come tomorrow.

[HavkinKnight]

what do you guys think of no one hit kills with Snipers and Nades?

[D Moralize]

what do you guys think of no one hit kills with Snipers and Nades?

I like it for nades, for snipe I guess it will depend on the rate of fire, if you can shoot two as quick as in call of duty ill be okay with it.

[Gruntly]

what do you guys think of no one hit kills with Snipers and Nades?

Well...this game for me looks like it's supposed to be very team oriented. Therefor, I think weapons such as the sniper and nades should not be OP, which would otherwise allow a single good player to dominate against a team of "not good" players. Though in the gameplay videos, I did see the nubetube killing ppl with one shots which I found to be really dumb.

[HavkinKnight]

i think when your a high level or when you get buffed will will do the trick i like it tho its like Star Wars Battlefront. and i also LOVE that when you ADS you can see their life bar.

[JaySeph]

I agree with havkin, i think its mostly like that only when you have a buff that another teammate grants you it. But this game is HEAVILY teamwork based. Which I love that, I love team fortress and that monday night combat game cause they are the same way. Halo is supposed to be this way as well but just not so in depth on helping one another. This game looks great, and If anyone is going to have it tonight at midnight or tomorrow on release day let me know, cause I do wanna have a bunch of people to run with, again I am on 360 for this game not PC.

[HavkinKnight]

yeah im mad there is no midnight release but i will have it at 11 CST tomorrow

[JaySeph]

No worries man, I don't work tomorrow so Ima be at home playing it constantly all night. haha Ill see you online. :)

[HavkinKnight]

yeah i just wish i could get it tonight it kinda bums me out that they are not doing a Midnight release but they did MRs for games no one bought oh well...

[Eclipse]

they even have a spectator mode, does any one else have problems with lag though, I've played two games so far and all of them have been laggy as hell.

[HavkinKnight]

its been laggy for us

Update

im Level 15 i play Eng
i have 100% completed the game besides having a Maxed level character i beat both campaigns and the challenges unlocking the gun stuff and all that! :) This game is amazing but i feel like if they dont fix some of the problems i see it dying off in less than 3 months lol also i have like 700gs

[iRitch]

Personal opinion here:
Anybody who hates brink is someone who hates having fun with games and is a stat-whore. If you have friends that like fun games and playing as a team brink is amazing. That is all.

Gonna be brinking it all day.
Brink. Get the game.

[HavkinKnight]

none of us hear has ragged on Brink in fact being level 17 myself im sure i enjoy the game seeing as i have DONE everything there is todo in the game already!

[Sinstar94]

I haven't had a much of a chance to play but I liked the very little bit I did play.

[Panda]

I'm buying my next paycheck on the 23rd :)

No one cares lol just enjoy the game" Love your best friend D_Mo (D_Mo even played half the game with me)

[Monk3y]

In my opinion the S.M.A.R.T. system reminds me kind of like Crysis 2?

[Morgan]

Anyone know if there is a demo for this? It looks cool, but I don't want to buy it right away.

[itzcritty]

[HavkinKnight]

there is no demo but if you REALLY wanna play i bet you gamestop will have a used copy later down the road here in maybe a week or so i would buy it to play it knowing you can return it in 7 days if you dont like it thats about the closest you get to demo now days lol

[usernameranq]

I think the Brink will me boring 3 weeks in to it

[Antidote]

Anyone that wants to play this game in about an hour should message me on my stream account. Unless your not cool enough to have it on computer :p

[HavkinKnight]

yeah unless they add a DeathMatch or a short game mode i can see some people getting turned off from this game.

Brink game director Paul Wedgwood dropped a long note on the official Bethesda blog explaining developer Splash Damage's approach to the online issues that some Brink players are reporting.

The first update is already live for 360 players, and Wedgwood asserts that it dramatically improves online movement prediction and speeds up texture loading. On the 360 front, Wedgwood notes that the team is investigating the reports coming in about laggy gameplay in full games. "We’re all huge multiplayer fans here at the office and we know how important a lag-free online experience is. We’re urgently investigating this issue and seeing what we can do to improve things in that area," Wedgwood writes.

The PS3 version also got an update – which you can get despite PSN being down – which should improve online performance for whenever Sony manages to get PSN back up.

The PC version has already had the hilariously stupid "corrupts your save if you close the game at the wrong time" bug fixed, and the team has also deployed an improved bug-reporting tool to help it in its ongoing efforts to improve performance and squash the bugs that are popping up on certain hardware configurations.
