RTCW was on xbox so I dont know why people are so dumb. I guess this review explains why games are so dumbed down nowadays.
Anyone see this players review?

Well I now have two PC copies coming to my house even after this insane review. One for me and one for my son.
And really… If you like TF2 you might enjoy this? Is he saying TF2 sucks?
L.A. Noire and Bulletstorm? These are novelty games imho.
And yeah I have all the COD’s too, but when the guys and I talk best shooter games ever… Splash Damage always makes it into the conversation.

Great job. You’re totally the man I’d pick to be spokesperson of console gamers everywhere. Your comment totally isn’t inflammatory and it absolutely matters how old you are. Your post doesn’t reaffirm the idea that console players are babies in the least…

"Many of the things mentioned in this opinion piece by discostu1337 are inaccurate or misleading:
-There is absolutely no sense of direction at any time.
There’s plenty of direction. You have missions and tasks, overlays and chatter all directing you where to go. What this game doesn’t have is a series of tight (albeit pretty) corridors you’re forced down a la COD.
-your AI team mates are 100% useless, making playing solo impossible.
I’ll give you that you will need to coddle the AI a bit and they don’t make the best decisions at times. However, I wonder if they “sucked” because disco didn’t stick with them and work with them as a team? They do revive and support you with buffs and ammo… but they only do this as long as you’re doing the most important thing for your team at the time… if you’re not, you’re way down their priority list. So, if you’re off Rambo-ing and not getting the objective done or defended, they won’t give two squirts about you. I hope human players are as smart.
-Your guns do little to no damage, and run out of ammo almost instantly.
This is not COD. This is a successor to a Quake/Enemy Territory game. Players are beefy and ammo management is key. Also, there’s no aim assist (by default) on consoles, so sorry, no coddling. You actually have to aim. My guess is the OP has gotten so used to his console-crutch that he basically can’t aim well anymore. Guns do plenty of damage but work best when burst-firing (as guns should work). Just check the myriad of videos out there from decent players getting headshots. Damage is fine.
Relatively low ammo counts is intended for two reasons: a) working with your teammate soldiers to restock and b) keeping you close to your team so you can work with them overall as a group. Again, if you lonewolf, you’re not helping anyone but yourself and Brink will punish you by design. Medics will leave you rotting and soldiers won’t restock you.
-The ENTIRE game is 8v8 deathmatch with some minor objectives tossed in for variety.
The entire Campaign Mode has set missions and player values, yes. Brink has always been an objective-based, non-corridor shooter and at no point will you be “on-rails” in this game. What were you expecting? COD’s cutscenes (aka hidden load screens) every 5 seconds?
-Freeplay mode with all of its “options” is a joke. You pick the map and number of players, that’s it.
In Freeplay Mode, you can alter friendly fire settings, stopwatch time-limit handling, etc. Consoles do get the short-end of the stick when it comes to server/game customization because they don’t have dedicated servers. Oh well; you chose your poison.
-XP is character specific, but then you must spend it on different classes, so essentially it’s class specific.
Incorrect. There are several “universal” abilities that are available no matter one’s class. The higher level abilities tend to cater to a single class because by then, you hopefully have an idea of a class you favor or excel at, so you can specialize. Of course, once you hit the level cap, further XP gained on a capped character can be dumped into any new characters, allowing you to quickly have multiple characters that specialize in anything that suits your preferred playing styles. This was intentional, this was well-known before release.
===
For those that are running off to cancel their preorders on account of discostu1337’s opinion… do some research. Find out if Brink is something that suits you. Brink is not COD. Brink is not one-shot-kills. Brink is not slow (tho it looks slow on consoles b/c you can’t alter your FOV… PC gamers can get theirs up to 110, thankfully).
Brink SP/CoOp is essentially offline play versus bots–there’s no on-rails/set-path story campaign like COD, but there certainly is a story and there are cutscenes to drive it that bookend each mission.
Brink lacks aim assist (by default)… you will suck at first until you learn how to aim again. Stick with it, though, and you’ll be surprised at how rewarding it can be."

Excellent post, Nail, just need to make one correction. XP transfer has been scrapped.

Not to be insulting, because I understand your unbiased stance on most things, but cry moar.
Forums don’t need “ad hominem” police. When people say something stupid, the beauty of the forums is being able to call them out in either an intelligent or offensive way. Forums don’t go downhill because of personal attacks on others, they go down hill because of callous thought-policing, blind arrogance, and overmoderation.
This forum is great and not in any real danger. Sarcasm towards other users is perfectly fine; no one has the right to not be offended.

You would think many would have made these points already when they went to the conventions to play Brink. No big deal if he does not like it. The less drama online the better off we all are.
