This game could have been so much better !

Hi guys,

First: sorry for my bad english, im not to good in speaking english but i hope you can understand me anyway.

Ive been waiting so long for this game - and now im a little bit disappointed … it looks like the game isnt finished yet, so im wondering why you released it 1 week earlier than it was announced.

So, what am I talking about?

  1. There are so many options to customize your player - you can change almost everything which is very good … but why isnt it possible to customize the weapon? It would be so simple to add a function to change the colour. The weapons should be unique as the player - at least a little bit.
  2. Why isnt it possible to change the character between the rounds or to change the size and so on. A simple example: As attacker i want to play a thin medic, as defender i want to play a bulky engineer. If i want change my character I have to go to the main menu - thats a roundabout way which makes no sense to me. Why i want to change my character between the rounds? Every map and every side has to be played in a other style. Sometimes you have to be fast. Sometimes you have to defend and its not important to run across the map, insteand its more important to have hp.
  3. The server browser: Players should know if there are bots in the server or not, BEFORE they join the server. Please add this function to the server browser. Its a easy function, but a big help.
  4. Bots shouldnt give as much xp as human player. People can easily farm xp in a solo game against bots (which are sometimes realy stupid) - thats unfair. Players who play online against other player should be rewarded with more xp - not the other way.
  5. There should be more statistics about the game. Call of Dutys success isnt without a reason. I dont want that Brink is like Call of Duty - but some features in Call of Duty are very good. For example the Emblem Maker, or the detailed statistics about the game. With which weapon do i have the best k/d ratio? With which class do i win the most games? and so on. That should be ingame visible.

There are sooo much more things which are good, but could be MUCH better with few changes.

I dont want to list the lags and freeze problems, that would cost to much time.

So to sum up, the game is good - but while i am playing the only thing on my mind is: This could be so much better - why did they release a unfinished game?

People using matches against other players to farm xp isn’t necessarily a good thing as illustrated in this thread.

Sry, double post.

I feel like a paying beta tester.

I’ve taken to calling the forthcoming DLC the “gold” DLC.

Thank you for actually being constructive with your criticism, and your english is fine. Let me see if I can’t clear some of this up for you.
Number 1: People I’m sure will have obnoxious colors(bright pink, white, and I’m sure at some point someone will figure out transparent)(or things) see: (WARNING: Penis made with CoD emblem maker, probably NSFW.) CoD Also, they are issued to you, and in military, you don’t personalize your weapon.
Number 2: I’m honestly not sure, and would like to see this feature implemented as well.
Number 3: Agreed, though it’s not a big deal for me, as I am on the PC, and can either quit out easily or just play with bots until the slots get filled.
Number 4: You actually DO get more experience for playing online multiplayer. At the end of the match, they give you 20% for playing multiplayer, and another 15% I THINK for consecutive match bonus. (I know they give you an extra 15%, but I’m not 100% sure it’s for consecutive match bonus.)
Number 5: This game isn’t about statistics, it’s about completing objectives as a team. The weapons part, I can understand, seeing the stats, but I don’t think it would be a good feature to implement at all. For the emblem maker portion, see Number 1.

Hope I could answer some of your questions, and thanks for being constructive about your posts. It renews my faith that this world may not be so horrible. :smiley:
Also, always remember that no game is perfect unless there is much trial and error. I’m sure the first CoD was glitchy as all hell, but it was passed off as being old. Games nowadays have an extreme amount of experience when it comes to copy-pasting, so when a new game with new content comes out, you really have to expect some bugs to occur. They will be smoothed out in the next couple of weeks, I’m sure, and if you wait it out I promise you’ll love it.

It still has a chance to get better it can only really go up hill from here I mean we’re drugging through the worse of the worse and on the horizon it’s looking nice - but i guess we’ll have to do the wait and see approach they’ve got so much feedback how to improve the game from their fans and haters …it can only provide a good future for this game if the developers are as great as a few people say.

I completly agree about the ability to change your character between rounds, and the bots thing.

Obviously they could have the n1 FPS shooter now but what they got is a bloody mess they dont know how to fix.

If theres no patch or a announcement today,pretty pathetic.

All I can see is a blurry mess, at least on the 360.
