This particular option is probably one of the biggest trip ups I see when it comes to shooters on the PC. For whatever reason, a lot of PC developers are intent at making it as aggravating as possible to play with your friends by making you search for a server, invite all your friends once you’ve loaded up and hope to space jesus that they all make it in before the server fills to capacity(as well as hope that the game supports throwing you all onto the same team at least by the next round)
It’s particularly weird when it’s a game that has a same-day release console counterpart that has a party system but decides to ignore it for the PC release(Bad Company 2) or, worse, when it’s a shooter that has it’s roots on a console, but actively decides to get rid of it(Monday Night Combat)
So yeah, I was wondering where Brink stood here.
Sorry if I missed something in particular that confirms this.
