[drupal=883]Sneak Peek: Clans and Tournaments Update for Brink[/drupal]


We’re close to releasing a comprehensive update for Brink, bringing full clan support, ladders and tournaments to all versions of the game. This update is currently in the final stages of testing and will be pushed out to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC version of Brink as soon as that is complete.
Since there’s a whole bunch of new stuff headed your way, we thought we’d give you a sneak peek of the goodness that awaits you:

Looks good, but I have the feeling it’s value will largely be determined by gameplay update.

(zenstar) #3

Interesting. Guess this’ll show how active things are.
Can’t help wishing this was in the game from the begining though before the PC community collapsed.

(Apoc) #4

All matches on the Global Clan Ladder will be 5 vs. 5 and utilize Brink’s full map pool.

Badman, only half brinks maps are comp suitable.

But i guess most importantly we shall have to see if the changes improve brink to a level where players return in such numbers as to benefit the new changes (i.e. someone to play in the tourneys), otherwise it wont matter either way.

I’ll forego commenting on the use of this patch, but I’d like to say that I’m really glad you guys managed to fit a ladder into the whole thing. I hope it’ll be useful for any future games.

This. Such features need to be easily ported to future titles at launch.

(Ruben0s) #7

This looks really good. I hope it will be in your next game from the beginning.

Looks bloody class to be honest, if only you released the game around now…

(wolfnemesis75) #9

This looks Sick Mr. Badman.

I know it’s useless to ask, but:

IS THIS FINALLY THE UPDATE THAT BRINGS OFFLINE LAN SUPPORT LIKE YOU PROMISED SIX EFFING MONTHS AGO??!?!?

(badman) #11

You can pick which map you want to play when issuing a clan challenge, so you can easily avoid maps you dislike.

(Apoc) #12

Ah well thats something, also it wasnt so much me disliking them it was more that some maps are very heavily weighted in one direction due to exploitable corners or close spawns etc, that makes it un-usable in competition as teams will full hold each other on the same bits.

(wolfnemesis75) #13

So when is the Clan part official. I signed in to Xbox live and there was a patch, but when can we go to the website?

Edit: I actually re-read the post and the clan part is not officially launched. I jumped the gun I guess, hence the sneak peak part, lol.

(badman) #14

Yes, that. Those.

(coolstory) #15

Looks nice

(thesuzukimethod) #16

will it be possible to join more than one clan/group? for those of us that play with different clusters of people?

(digitalzero) #17

I would like to know this as well. I hope there will be an easy way to be part of multiple clans and join as needed to play.

(Raga) #18

Yes it looks nice :slight_smile:

(RT1) #19

Play your teams equally on both attacking and defending on those supposedly unsuitable maps and you’ll have a reasonable measure of their suitability (here’s a hint – 100%).

(gooey79) #20

Should it not be obvious to you RT1, Apoc is quite a highly skilled player who’s involved in the comp scene. As are many others who have played this game competitively. The vast majority say the same thing he is.
