Hello Everyone!
Ive played Brink for a quite sometime now and I’m enjoying myself,
I did however do a top 10 of things that annoy me in the game, So i thought might aswell show the people who play the game and enjoy it like myself so here it is:
P.S dont hate me
I posted a similar list of how to make Brink 2 more successful. All valid points by you, especially if approached by a single player or causal player. Lacking real people to play with, the game falls flat at times. With friends the games shines. Brink tries to be both accessible at times and contradicts accessibility by locking stuff, having separate challenges, and not having a traditional single player experience with linear paths.
Your top ten list reads as a compiling of all the popular criticism of Brink. Which most here are all too aware of. Thank god you didn’t have ET:QW or COD or the word TDM anywhere on your list! 
And like you say, SD has already begun to address the popular criticisms with DLC that adds maps (for Free) more level cap and are in the process of tweaking guns.
I had suggested another layer of level grind that involved unlocking Faction Specific progress to show which faction you prefer, because honestly not being able to play both factions in the way you can with Brink currently, would suck balls.
Thanks for the reply, I was worried I’d get hated for this haha, Yeah I’ve never played ET:QW and don’t really like COD. I do like your faction idea that would help with the games longevity. Be good if maps were uploaded for free on a regular bases. I heard someone say that cause its a small community and charging people and separating them wouldn’t help at all.
Agree with Wolf above. SD tried to do something different. For a first shot, it’s been a so-so experience for most people. For me, I think they did a very good job. I love Brink. A few things here and there irk me, but I can say that about ANYTHING in life.
The one point I disagree about in your list is #10. I love playing Defense. Playing D on a good team vs another good team is GREAT! I’ve had some killer battles on D either protecting the gate house on Resort or stopping Nechy from leaving the Sec Tower. Every level has some great D vs A battles.
Also, Ops are an EXCELLENT resource on D if used properly. They can disguise and spot enemies on their way to the Obj. They can also use the UAV to spot enemies on Radar and then use the UAV to blow them up behind cover. Finally, they can sneak up behind a group of attackers then break out of disguise to KILL THEM ALL! When we have a good Ops on our team during D, they’re best at causing interference. Nothing’s more annoying to attackers than getting sneak-attacked halfway to the Obj.
Fair comment, I haven’t had a chance to use the the new Operative ability which sounds useful. Yeah defense can be good at times if your up against a good team but if a bad one it can be a bit dull in my opinion anyway. Thanks for reading list though
You put lack of modes twice dude Also, those arguments are nothing to myself I love the game for what it is, I actually have no complaints thus far.
Yeah I noticed, missed it in the proof read, yeah I still think the game is good just bit disappointed in some areas like story and the such. Ta for reading though
Don’t let bots play in freeplay mode :eek:
It’s not fun to play with computers in a online mp :mad:
I’d rather play with bots than wait in a lobby forever and listen to jerks tell me which team to be on.
That’s to keep the teams even?
On the pc you join a side automaticly when you enter a server.

On Xbox it does the same thing, it has forced team balance, but once the match starts you can change teams. In lobbies there is always a time where you join and are told to go over to the other team. What if I don’t want to? I hate that. On xbox in competitive I will get a message from someone asking me to switch sides so they can bring in a friend. What if I don’t want to? I’ll take bots if I have to they sometimes play better than humans, rather than deal with Lobby Thugs.
It feels like a £20 downloadable title
Hmmm… That’s an idea, I think it worked for Section 8: Prejudice™. Maybe take out Brink’s cut-scenes, no one watches them anyway. 
Why not have a “Quick match” button or a lobby system?
Yes a “Quick match” option would override the issue of having to default select Objective and Standard. I think for most, selecting Stopwatch or Old Skool is like making a private match (on the consoles).
Not sure what you mean by a lobby system though, mainly as last time I noticed a discussion here about lobbies, things got confusing. Do you mean a “game server browser”? Because I think technically a lobby is what you sit in when the game has not reached the Minimum Players to start amount (like in Competition mode).
All im going to say is that MOH 2010 was a so-so game, but it’s going to get a sequel. So i don’t see why Brink can’t get one too. It’s all about learning fro your mistakes
I mean by lobby system is that you do wait there for other people. And i guess since there is bots you could start the match whenever. Just on consoles I find on first search for a game it will put me alone and hope I will stay so others can join. Sometimes I do but I just want to play with some real people. So with a lobby we could wait for a decent number of people to join and then start the match.
That is is true, But MOH is a massive franchise which has had many games in its series. Brink is a new ip and has completely different gameplay to what what most Modern FPS have. Brink should have came out filled to the brim with content. Instead it came out with 8 maps and just one mode really. I don’t want a sequel, I want them to improve and add to this game, which they seem to be doing already.
