Honestly, I´ve been playing w:et and et:qw for ages and I must say that Brink is an outstanding peace of software! Sure it has some minor flaws but I am very confident that these will be patched away with the future support. I know my money was well spend on Brink because I already reached the “more hours played than bucks payed” mark and it will be even more. thousands of hours pure fun.
cheers, Sgt.Smegma
PS: I should put some xp in my language 
I am right there with you! I’ve put a solid 80+ hours already into Brink. More than justifies the price of admission!
I must say,for a broken game which Brink is for most people atm and for me too i played a good 35 hours.
This was sayed a 1000 and 1 time but i say it again “THIS GAME HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL ITS RIDICULOUS”.Ive never seen a game with so much potential in years and years from any game developer.
Seriously SD fix it give out some free weekends,convince the people with it that this game is not bad at all it had just a really bad start.
This game could easily,just EASILY destroy TF2 if theres going much work into it.
Yes, it is indeed outstanding. And it only gets better, I personally came from CoD and had to unlearn a lot of bad habits, once you get into the whole teamwork mentality and seek out team mates rather than rush out for kills, it starts to truly shine.
And it seems there is a very solid effort going into patching, with lots of issues fixed already, and improvements and balancing coming up soon. Whatever faults it still has, I’m sure they’ll be adressed soon enough, making it even better.
50 hours in and I’ve lost my love for Brink a little.
If SD can sort out the muddy network on the ps3 and add some new maps and a little more content so there’s enough to not repeat it all in one evening of gaming, then I’ll certainly come back for seconds.
I just hope when/if I do the games (psn) will be full and not 70% bots. 
Stats would be nice.
VOIP in /all/ game types would be outstanding.
I remember, coming from RTCW and ET, how “dissapointet” i was from ETQW in the first place… but then: it rocked the house.
Same with Brink, exept, that Brink semms to be / get even better.
first i coould just play “Slideshow-mode”, now it runs smooth enough ( i got a midrage Laptop, nothing build for gaming) and the more i get into it, the more i like it.
BTW Sgt. Smegma: are you guys from Villa planing to set up an Brink server? Would be really great.

the entertaining element of a SD game for me is not the sheer amount of content, it´s about the teamplay/metagame. in w:et and et:qw it evolves further and further even with “few” maps and guns etc… bots are boring but that ain´t a problem for the PC.
@negOne
same for me I was very disappointd about etqw in the beginning but then …
about the server: I don´t know yet. personally I would love it, too! cya on the ark!
Im with you on this, I am waiting for the patch which will be any day now before playing again. Full 8v8 games are awesome, but obviously we have the smaller teams option as default right now so most people seem to be on that
Exactly, ETQW came with its surprises and disappointment, but in the longer run, it turned out to be just freaking awesome.
Brink can follow the same road, especially if the support follows in an intelligent way. I am confident. It is not easy to come in play with original gameplay, fighting against the big established AAA licenses whose budgets and dev team size probably have nothing in common with what Brink had.
In SD I trust. There are other very good FPS, but SD’s one have that special touch and have their way to becoming legends overtime…
I know brink is the the cats pyjamas, its why i love it, just has some minor flaws, even the trolls cant denie it.
I have no lag what so ever on both Brink and COD. It seems to help (if you got the $300) to upgrade hardware, Nat3 Modem,

and the highest speed internet your provider can give you ($99 a month for me) and LAG is gone.
