Its all over for me. 360.

[QUOTE=oO Para oo;302243]Oh yeah, next up on this craptrain is the lack of party support. So, if you’re in a party on XBL and you want to play in a match with friends, you can’t all join a game without one of your party joining it first. In Broken Brink, you have to enter a public game by yourself and then invite your party from the pause menu… And then hope they all get in. This is inexcusable. This is something that would be in a XBL launch title, not a AAA game coming out today. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. I bet the same guy that oversaw the grenade explosions thought it was a good idea to bypass this feature. Total amateur hour.

Only part i agree with. The rest can be summed up as the following. “CoD is on the next exit to your left.”

The lag is all across XBOX Live. Its not an opinion. Its a factual problem the game isn’t functioning properly over XBOX Live.

I’ve seen lag in most Live games, and it either gets fixed or is an annoyance.

BRINK’S LAG MAKES THE GAME UNPLAYABLE. That’s not an opinion. That’s not a vocal minority. That’s a simple fact. Why the PC game got an patch while the 360 game is unplayable makes no sense.

PC got a patch that fixed it?
They need to get working on the console fix ASAP.

I’m playing on xbox360 and been playing old school since day one and have been loving life with no lag. I suspect since it’s P2P they are going to have to find a more efficient way of determining the best system to host the game on. However, again, I have had minimal lag. The first day I would have some lag at the very start of the match for about 20 seconds…have had no lag the last 2 days…if they get this thing patched up by the weekend I’m sure all will be forgiven.

BTW…I have been to 2 gamestops in the Orange County area and they have had zero returns so I was really happy about that. The gamespot homie is buying his copy today…he has had people come in with concerns…he just reminded them that it’s the first week and give them some time to work it out. Going to play with him tonight. I hope the PS3 doesn’t start having problems when PSN comes back online. I was going to get the game for the PS3 but when PSN went offline I just got it for my 360

Patches have to be approved by M$, so get off SD’s nuts.

(Limpinator) #66

Look I honostly dont care for the gernades. Infact I think the gameplay is pretty good, well thought out and pretty balanced…

I play on xbox and the things that get me pissed is…

  1. NO Parties
  2. LAG LAG LAG
  3. NO other Game modes but the same mission on the same old map

And to think I was hopping this game and Duke Nukem would get me thorugh the summer…Come on DUKE! If you fail me ill probably have cry my self to sleep at night.

Cause its obvious Brink already failed unless they fix these things…

Explain how this game went Gold with non-functioning netcode.

This game exists for online MP, and doesn’t work on Live.

Why didn’t the consoles get dedicated servers??? This makes no sense.

(oO Para oo) #68

I hate cod full or tactic less kids same as halo. Garbage.

(meccs) #69

I switched to Co-op. Less lag, more people playing = more fun.

Quite simply, because the netcode functions. I have played for hours online, and have had about a total of one minute of lag. Just because your experience is not the same does not mean that either one of our experiences are universal.

I have played with about 30 different people in various XBL parties. I haven’t heard anyone complain about anything except the party system. I played last night with a host in Japan, on the same team with people from all over Canada, and I live in Florida. I expected, perhaps because I read these forums, that it would be horribly laggy. The first game was smooth as butter. The second game started, and someone new joined the game, and my game got very laggy for 20 seconds. I still managed to place my turret somehow, and then the lag totally disappeared, and the rest of the game was, once again, buttery goodness.

I would not be surprised if many or even most XBox gamers are having mostly lag-free experiences and enjoying the game. People enjoying the game don’t seek out the developer’s website to post compliments.

Because they don’t have EA to foot the bill.

grenades are weaker than in most other games for the sake of balance. Thats what most people dont get here; SD took an additional year or so of development to BALANCE the game nicely.

Thank gods for no ETQW grenade spammage

I have 3 other friends I’ve been playing co-op with. Two of us are British one is German and the other is American, we’ve been playing co-op and the connection is ‘okay’ my American friend gets occasional lag which sucks, we play all kinds of games together and the connection is fine. Online 8v8 is still shocking crazyy rubber banding/lag. I played on a team with 2 others + no bots and it was fine.

(X-Frame) #73

Game is unplayable on the 360. Lag every single game, even in 5v5 games.

Shelving this until SD fixes the game. Lag like this, this often is inexcusable.

I have heard about the patch coming and the free dlc which is great but without making drastic changes it will not bring in people on the fence, issue such as lagg, lobbies, fartnades, and class issues. Get these sorted and we may come back…

Fine but make the nade explosion look like a nade not a puppy poop.
