DLC, did someone already post this?

If the DLC is going to be free why don’t they do an open test? Run some dedicated servers with the new maps and the new weapon attachments and whatever else is changing.

Other than the hurried release, one of the reasons why Brink was a launch failure is because it wasn’t tested well. At all.

I mean they released a map without sound for christ’s sake.

I have a sneaking suspicion that instead of the just the unbalanced maps we have now, we’re going to get 2 more of them. Basically, if the release is anything to go by, the DLC may give us more problems than it fixes.

Oh by the way, see the post above, pretty cool the lead designer it out tweeting about getting drunk in Amsterdam.

What do they possibly have to lose by letting us test a free DLC? It’s the only way they’re going to get it right.

Let’s start the count down for the much anticipated post DLC patch that will “fix the (untested) DLC” now

I’ll be off playing fear3 instead of this dlc. Sorry SD but I can’t wait forever. But lets get our priorities straight here first, make the game playable on ati please?

What’s frustrating is the silence.

“When it’s done, it’s done,” is perfectly acceptable for a game release…BUT not for a patch that is supposed to fix the game that was pushed out way early to begin with! Come on, really? That’s not a little bass ackwards to anybody else?

Even if it’s not a date, how about “We’re working on this…we’re testing these tweaks…we already have this changed - here are the changes:…here’s a video of the bayonet/other new things…here are screenshots of the new maps, etc”

It’s not even an unreasonable request…this is what good game developer PR does.

But no, not a damn thing from SD.

Give us the ****ing shot to the arm this community desperately needs.

One can’t help but start to think it stems from lack of confidence…that they can’t fix it.

This game is supposed to be a AAA title, right? Have you ever seen/heard of a AAA title supposedly releasing a DLC within 11 days without saying a damn thing about it? Or showing anything?
