Simples.
You made some good points as to what could be added. There are flash nades so why not smoke?

You seem to think the console players love it. Remember over 500k copies sold for the 360 and not even 1/20th of those players are playing a primarily multiplayer game. Many console players just don’t visit forums.
Thank you kind sir.
As to why there aren’t smoke grenades, it was perhaps a performance issue. Smoke grenades, if done well (graphics wise) are system hogs. Imagine if 4-16 medics all throw their smoke grenades simultaneously? Hello 5 FPS!
There could be some way to implement the smoke properly. Like if there are 3 or more smoke grenades thrown in the same area simultaneously, then either decrease the quality of the smoke graphics, or perhaps have different effects for larger areas of smoke (kind of like the clouds in Just Cause 2).
I don’t think all console players love it.
The more true statement would be that most people who love this game are playing it on the 360.
[QUOTE=Singh400;353379]Thread needs a poll.
And no.[/QUOTE]
Is there a way I can go back and make one? I looked and was unable to see an option to add it.
Edit: I figured it out. Poll added
Yes. Edit you post and select “Advanced” and scroll down. Click the box to add a poll. Think thats how it works. Make your poll.
Scratch that…you just did it! Ha ha ha! About to vote… you guessed it!

Actually you just click Thread Tools up next to the search thread button. Then you hit the last option something like Add Poll or Create Poll.
Cool thanks for the intel. I didn’t have to hack the information out of somewhere…
Yeah my first instinct was to check out Advanced and couldn’t find it there.
I’m not going to say ‘No’ to ever buying Brink 2 but I certainly won’t buy another Splash Damage game ‘Day One’.
From now on, I’ll at least wait to see the reviews and general consensus (from the community) of the game they release before I make a decision.
Who is to say Brink2 will be their next game?
It could just as easily be ETQW 2… now that I would like to see.

I would prefer that as well and like I said in my OP it could be any game at all they’re announcing or even just further Brink DLC. I just wanted to pontificate on the possibility that it was Brink 2 even though I don’t think that’s likely.

Quake is kind of a dying franchise though. If there was a new “Quake”-related game released every 1-2 years from id or whoever, then perhaps it’d be a good idea. The only people really looking forward to a ETQW2 game are the people still playing ETQW1.
Brink 2 (or its spiritual successor with a marketing-friendly name-change) should be their future focus after delivering Brink DLC.
I didn’t vote because there was no option to wait until I get reviews
from certain players I found have the same taste in game-mechanics.
I just thought of a new meaning for S.D. (yeah, it’s that bad)
No. And not just a future Brink, but I’ll be hesitant to buy any SD game again. The game came out at least 1 year too early, that’s unforgivable. I mean they had to test it, right? And if they tested it wouldn’t they be saying to themselves “man, this game is no where near done?”
But they pushed it out to collect our money and figured they’d get around to fixing it later. We paid $50-$60 for a demo. So no, I’m not buying a Splash Damage game ever again because that’s a horrible way to treat your customers.
Blame it on the publisher if you want, but the fact is Brink is SD’s game and SD has to wear it.
lol it’s what…2 months after release and we’re all waiting on a dlc that might make it feel like a full and hopefully finished game? Some games need to get patched after released, that’s fine, but very very few games feel so barebones/incomplete as Brink did at launch and very very few games need to push out more content within just 60 days to make it feel like more of a real game. It honestly feels like the test version that should have been released approximately 1 year before the real game.
It’s on par with some of the more clumsy Xbox Live Arcade games.
I really think I would buy Brink 2 (xbox360 btw), but I would not make the same mistakes I did with this one. I wouldn’t overly hype it up in my mind, I wouldn’t preorder, and if there is no Beta release I probably won’t purchase until I’ve played a mates copy or hired it out.
Like I said in another Brink 2 thread I started, this game has the POTENTIAL to compete with the AAA titles, but there had to be some harsh lessons learned. Now that SD/Bethesda have seen the response, all previous mistakes can be analyzed. But a Beta should DEFINITELY be released to help with data on all potential issues.
For me it had nothing to do with Brink not living up to the hype. By any standards, Brink was a disaster at launch
I hope they improve it, I’m not one who wants to see Brink fail, I’m just disgusted by this whole ordeal. Heads deserve to roll for Brink. Maybe SD should look into hiring some competent people.
