To be fair games back when had a lot less competition. You didn’t really have much choice but to pick a game and stick with it while the community fixed or worked around stuff in order to organise games. If Brink doesn’t offer gamers something they want there will be other games that might.

Back in this ye olde age of RCTW people managed quite well with the DIY attitude. Instead of the “gimme gimme” which I’ve heard rarely gets.

im not posting a “gimmie gimmie” thread i actually just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about the clan support. i think this game is gonna be epic however i also think that it would benefit from a great clan support system so that it is easy to battle other clans. if not with their own leader boards at least eh gamebattle ones

in ye olden times, clans and comp were a PC gamer thing, you had to work very hard to get anywhere, no time for asshattery. Now clans are random groups of 8 - 14 year olds on xbox with aim assist

I kind of miss that it took hard work to “be a clan” made it for the people who actually gave a crap, every console has their clans of kids who find their clantag of [Killer gHoSt m0t0rcYcl3 shArks!] cool. Clans are very rarely even competitive, not that they have to be, just times have changed.

I agree SUK_A_FACE it would be a neat addition, but it would be an addition not a fail if they don’t IMO.

The part you missed, twice now, was no one called you a noob. That’s what Nail was saying, the guy said he was asking a noob question, he wasn’t calling you a noob. Sheesh.

Was going to send you an invite to ==SharksWithFricken"Lasers"== but will have to abstain now that we know you are considering "those other guys’.

back on topic: My guesses (and that’s exactly what they are so don’t get your hopes up) of what kind of clan support we might see:

  1. Clan tags, menu of all your clanmates, which of your clanmates are online, invite to/expell from clan, change leader, etc. In other words, exactly what is in ETQW.
  2. Clan insignia/clothing of some sort, be it a t-shirt or a tatoo or whatever.
  3. No expectation of being able to schedule matches in game, but it would be cool. there’s a big giant thread here about SC2 type matchmaking (both for teams and/or players).
  4. Zero expectation for clan leaderboards or challenges unless #3 is implemented, they all go together, if one exists they should all exist, if not none will.
  5. I would fully expect to be able to watch replays, at least on the PC (aka demos). I have no idea how this works on Consoles but if you can write to a disk from a console I would expect you should be able to record and play a demo the same way you can on a PC. That said, I’m not optimistic this will be “fully featured” like it is in Black Ops. Still, something is better than nothing.

All in all, there is only so much you can expect a Dev to give you. We have all this really great new stuff, completely new gameplay, SMART for crying out loud. That’s what they have been working so hard on to perfect, that’s what is really important. The rest is just dressing, it won’t even come close to breaking anything if it’s not there, it will just make it incrementally a little better if it is.
