Brink is Free to Play on Steam Until Sunday!


(ziporco) #21

a suggestion: make brink free and make DLCs pay
otherwise, once the quakecon is gone and it’s monday, nobody will play again this game

and if u release the sdk, it would be great cause apparently you dont get what pc players want, dear sd


(RabidAnubis) #22

This is what I meant by my blog suggestion.

Have designated coaches and guys who can post important things.


(funsize) #23

Desperate attempt to draw players back into an otherwise STILL BROKEN game has been duly noted.


(tangoliber) #24

What is broken at the moment?

Anyway, great job Splash Damage.

SD should do another free event when the game’s more PC-ified. Cause right now most players I;ve played against in pubs don’t seem to like it.

Finaly some good news !
And for my birthday a DLC ! nice one !

but still waiting for hud and crosshair improvement.


(Je T´aime) #27

This is really good, I´ve got a lot of friends tryng it atm, some already like it so its a good way of promoting the game.


(trigg3r) #28

Nice move.
I’m glad they are doing something to bring more ppl

I figured I’d give Brink a try since it was free for a couple days. Sorry guys, you’re not getting any of my money until it’s eyefinity compatible. There’s too many games out there that are, to put up with not having it.


(crazyfoolish) #30

woot! Brink is 13th most played right now. I expect it shall decrease next week but anyway, good work SD! (and bethesda :P)

I smell noobs.


(ziporco) #32

ins’t it amazing?
it’s free and still it doesn’t attract so many peoples to be able to be over pay games…

Imagine when it’s again pay.
Oh well there isn’t much to imagine. just remember how it was some days ago :slight_smile:

Brink needed to be repaired, FIRST.

  • Demo, start, pause, referee
  • Crosshair editing
  • Ability to chose a different body structure during a match.
  • Less spread
  • Remove the abnorn and buggy auto pilot

Or SDK and then do whatever you want sd

In Europe maybe, but NA servers had only 1 full when the DLC arrived.
I hardly doubt there will be a change in opinion 80% of the players.


(burawura) #34

Better late than never I guess…


(BioSnark) #35

Well, better late with less bugs. I’d rather be seeing it released now but this works, too.

The quakecon pack is in 1st and that INCLUDES brink… And brink alone is in 4th, that’s a lot of new sales thanks to the discounts… Keep on beating that dead horse and keep checking back on the forums as most of your type can’t help themselves.

I became dissapointed with some of the things that were going on and the LONNNNG wait for the dlc but I took a nice long break from the game/brink forums. Because that’s what normal people do when they dislike something. Instead of constantly visiting and trying to remind other people how much you dislike the game or how much any negative news is bringing joy to your miserable life. GG u win :slight_smile:

You can.

“You need to edit the following commands to match your setup specifics, and put them into your autoexec.cfg (find your aspect ratio here):” http://andrew.hedges.name/experiments/aspect_ratio/

seta r_mode “-1”
seta r_customWidth “5760”
seta r_customHeight “1080”
seta r_aspectRatio “-1”
seta r_customAspectRatioH “16”
seta r_customAspectRatioV “3”

HUD is on outer monitors but gameplay wise it’s perfectly fine.

Well well - peak of 5212 at the moment, and 12th in line based on current players - one above BC2 :slight_smile: Let’s hope they stick around - and maybe we’ll get the interaction/binding issues addressed and I can play myself.

“put up” with only having one display? And you’re playing games because they have eyefinity, and not playing games that don’t? :slight_smile: Well, thanks for the psychological insight - very revealing. Most people include other things in their decision, like whether the game is even any good, whether it’s fun - you know, the trivial stuff. It sometimes even comes above “can I pretend to be Hugh Jackman in Swordfish”.


(Codine) #39

I’m loling at all the people complaining how bad the game is ingame. I’ve heard so many people complain about the frame rate. Will SD ever fix this for pc?


(needforWeed) #40

BC2 isn’t a Steam game.
