Is BRINK reall that different?

[QUOTE=Bittermetal;349203]ok. that’s great. So what’s the importance of lobbies? Can one of you young 360 whippersnappers enlighten this old fogey? I guess then, I don’t understand why lobbies are so important for XB players.

BTW- It’s an honest question. Not bashing the 360-ers here at all.[/QUOTE]

Because the matchmaking is poor on consoles and is can be very hard to get into big games as you haveto let the sytem match make you instead of choosing a server with people in like PC, I believe if there was lobbies it would be much imporved and would haveto find players to join it instead of just throwing you into a game of bots or 1 other person each time.

Wasn’t the switch to a cartoony look what took Borderlands so long? I remember the pre-cartoony look very well.

Yep same thing happened with borderlands, still I dont think Brink was in development longer than Crysis 2.

Ohhhh! I see. See there is my problem I guess. I hate hate hate matchmaking. I need to be able to pick my server. What if I just want to hop in THAT map for a bit and not just be thrown in a random server?

Thanks for the clarification.

You can choose which type of match you want to go in [i.e. standard/ old school] and choose which map you want to play, but allot of the time if you choose specific map youlle get thrown in on your own ytou tend toget thrown in on your own all to often, evne more on the PS3

Ouch. Yeah if that’s true that should be addressed.

It’s very hard to get into games with friends. And the fact that you can’t change your character w/o leaving and the rank restrictions are just bad design choices.

Yeah the console design for matches with friends leaves a lot to be desired. On PC you can invite or join a friends game from within BRINK or within STEAM. You can do it through Steam while in BRINK too or while at the desktop.

You can join friends games on console ok, actally it heavily realies on that due to the bad match making, for example my friend plays on the ps3 and has to use a chat room and add ppl to connect with players on brink and get into human matches, although the amount of high human populated matches is incnsistent
