One thing is that suposedly the AI bots are so intelligent that veteran gamers have a hard time telling the bots from good players. I say supposedly since that seems hard to believe to me. I still might get it though since it looks like fun and I was a fan of Quake Wars (same developer). Gonna wait for the reviews though, but will preorder for the bonus stuff.
? what with this "I dont get why people like somthing?"..thing?SuperMse said:
anyway I am very anit-multiplayer however this acutally looks like an interesting way of doing the whole "multiplayer" thing rahter than "lets tack multiplayer onto a game that doesnt need it" or even worse "ok weve got multiplayer now jsut add a few hours and we are good"
also the story and setting look interesting

Well then apparently Gears of War doesn't need a campaign at all, since you can play the multiplayer maps with bots in them. We should probably let Epic know that they can stop wasting their resources on making an actual campaign mode.Xzi said:

Brink looks to be an intriguing, if utterly unoriginal shooter. It could turn out to be quite a good game, but for now it seems that most of what it has going for it is viral spam.
Im a little curious about where you have been searching to not find anything that would explain the game to you. The most prom ant thing is S.M.A.R.T. or Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain, which is basically a parkour button, allowing much more movement options than any FPS (save maybe Mirror's Edge) on the market, at least that I know of.SuperMse said:
It's the same genre of game as TF2, without a doubt. But that's where the similarity ends. First, there's the way scoring is done. You don't just get points for killing enemies; in fact, killing enemies gives the least amount of points. You get much more by helping teammates in whatever way your class is able to. It also seems like the game is a lot more team objective-based in multiplayer than most FPS games. Lone-wolf tactics won't be used because the people who use them won't level up.
Plus there's the fact that the game was built around the running/climbing mechanic. Different classes move differently, and I think strategic positioning is going to be a big part of gameplay. And you can change your class and loadout at special locations while a match is in progress.
Also, there's apparently a huge depth of character customization. Not just appearance, but also weapon add-ons and configurations, and so on.

It crosses a lot of elements I like in an FPS.
1)Class-based
2)Map-Based Missions
3)Customization
4)Stand-out art style
5)A fresh story/plot (can't guarantee it will execute well, of course)
And the introduction of weight classes and the SMART system just makes it appeal to me as a game I don't wanna miss.

What I'm interested in is that it's multiplayer has a story, a deep story by the sounds of it, and it is an RPG.
Immersive, narrative driven, thought provoking multiplayer.
What other game has that?
Im I the only who has a friend that calls Brink a CoD clone...
seriously research OP and stop comparing to other games

The main thing for me is the movement. After playing Mirror's Edge I have a hard time playing other FPS games. Half Life 2 was really challenging for me, and Left 4 Dead gives me some fits too. Brink will give me the FPS experience I want.
I suppose the heavy customisation is appealing to the same people who were interested in APB. It's not such a big deal to me, but I'm sure I'll play with it.
Another thing is that it's multiplayer/single player in one like Unreal Tournament, which is still among my all time favourite games, and is also the only pre Mirror's Edge FPS that I can still play without getting fits.

Brink is looking to be (for me anyhow) a great game, whether it be multiplayer or single player. The amount of customization is amazing, the introduction of S.M.A.R.T. is intriguing and hopefully will provide an experience that will differ from most other FPS's on the market. With all that it's bringing to the table, Brink deserves all the hype that it recieves.
'S got Parkour. I could go on about the other cool stuff... But no it's got Parkour in it so that's good enough
