Brink: The war ain't over, not by a long shot


(KnollDark) #1

So after looking at this pic


The map seems like we got less than half of the war goin on so if they keep releasing maps by the 2’s every month, we got 4-6 months of new content left for this game plus new outfits, attachments, and abilities. I think what some of us thought as amazing and what some of the others thought was lackluster will become a beta build compared to what we’re going to see

That picture is very interesting. Im guessing depending on what the BFA does it might give us perks for the winning side, for example command posts will capture faster if you are resistance.

‘‘The Resistance won, thus getting a new archetype!’’

‘’… Security hasn’t won once, thus not gaining a single archetype…’’

‘’… ****’’


(Jess Alon) #4

That’s totally balanced.


(Schwarzeis) #5

Lol :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyways…

Do you guys think the remaining maps will also be free of charge? If there now will be maps to fill up the entire map of the Ark

And now as a follow-up… Do you guys maybe think they have made all maps already? Just cut alot of them off to hand them to us in pieces with some time intervals, to keep the players interested

For some reason I think Splash has a great-ass grand plan planned

People will complain and say SD has the maps somewhere and didn’t give them a full game but it takes a lot to make these maps work. There are little secrets on the maps. Things I would never think about like this.

Watch what he does at 1:20.

They had to make that so you can jump from that to that to that. You can wall hop to wall hop and never touch the ground while running down hallways. They have to playtest these freaking maps. I bet all the maps have been drawn up somewhere. And they are envisioned. They just haven’t been programmed and completed.


(its al bout security) #7

yeah security gotta make that come back but really its how unbalanced most maps are, not all but a majority are resistance sided


(Dragin) #8

I agree the game will grow. It will kinda be like an mmo in that regard. New content all the time that just doesn’t say o here’s some maps we cut awhile back and just now finished. It will expand the game a lot more, i just hope it doesnt get too out of control, but i have faith that SD knows what they’re doing.


(its al bout security) #9

i think i caughht on to why these where cut. its not because they werent finished, they probably were but they were cut so they add content consecutivley fore a couple of months


(Overgear) #10

Its either kept back for testing, or kept back to be released after the game came out.

Either way, it’s new maps for us and it’s free.

Jesus Christ…

I don’t know whose stats page that is, but that person has:
Played 708058 matches.
Obtained 7484000000 XP
And played a total of 52 years and 212 days.

Is this a picture from the future?


(Mr E Unknown) #12

Chances are that’s total (ie., across all players), not just for a single player. :wink:


(Metal-Geo) #13

Stop ruining it! :stroggbanana:


(Smoochy) #14

thing is, if subsequent DLC is paid for it splits the community. im glad the first one is free but as it stands im not sure i would pay for any future DLC. too many bugs present at the moment


(sirius89) #15

If this is not all free they can put their DLC’s where no sun shines.

Just sayin…


(Kalbuth) #16

It won’t be all free

  1. Bethesda needs cash cow
  2. This is still a fair amount of work to build these map, no matter how much you cry about “unfinished” and “lack of content”, there’s more into even current maps than nayy-sayers are whining about (when complaining about lack of content, I’m not denying the truckwagons of other issues :slight_smile: ), which means time to build them, which means time during which SD need getting paid (yeah, incredible, they don’t work for free, duh!) until the last map is release, which means getting paid for at least 1/2 a year

Maybe 1 or 2 free. Don’t expect more, imho

Uhm,i dont care?

First off all,if Bethesda want’s to create a cashcow then the first thing to do is develop or give the developers enough time to finish the vanilla game,cause without a good working game people won’t buy DLC and without selling DLC’s the game is not a cash cow.

Best example is the Retaliation pack for Crysis 2 now.Nearly nobody purchased it.

Second thing…
I don’t care if it’s much work or not,they didnt worked hard enough on Brink vanilla(otherwise we wouldnt have a half assed mess here) so why should i care about the work which is needed to make a map,or new weapons or whatever?

They better fix the game before offering a payd DLC otherwise i don’t see how the first payed DLC will sell well.


(Kalbuth) #18

I’m just explaining how work … works…
not asking you to like that

on a side note, my personal stance on that :
what you should care is what type of game you like.
non mainstream will get the fewer funds from producers, and the more pressure, and thus will have the doggiest release
I’ve seen this go down for so many non-mainstream games lately it makes me sad.
If you decide to not care about the “why” and just trash, be prepared to pave the way for the AAAA titles only, and play MW / BF for the remaining years, no SDK, fewer dedicated server support, well, ditching anything that may complicate the code and create instability (ie, anything giving the player control over the product)

“Great-ass”?!?? “Plan planned”? :cool:
