Well, I should say a large community. Really, I’m got hardly anything but bots when I played on the PS3. Such wasted potential.
This game would be great if there was a community supporting it.

Should try the xbox version, then. A much larger player base, there.

Well, the problem is that good, large communities don’t develop over bad games. Can’t make a bad game and then hope a great community forms to support said bad game.

You are doing something wrong if you are only playing with bots. Plain english.

So it’s my fault there aren’t people on the servers?
Okay. That makes complete sense.

Really? you think the problem with this game is the PEOPLE who play it? Or lack thereof? dude the fact that you cant play with people is not because people dont play. its because the piece of **** system is not working properly.

I am also disspointed in my fellow PS3-ers. We let a good multiplayer game slip right through our fingers. If there were enough people online that game could actually be full (instead of 2 or 3 real people per side) imagine how much more enjoyable it would be?
Are we as a community simply not ready for the type of game Brink is? I’m not saying that Brink is perfect, but despite it’s flaws it is a good game and I wish that more people would jump online. (Also SMART should become a standard feature in all future FPS games)

It`s just a big fail on the menu that i don´t know really sure what they are doing here. It could be so easy, we just need two buttons:
- Join a game
- Host a game
Very simple, but i doubt nobody at SD or Bethesda has thought about it!
And the problem is not the community its how the game is set up. A teambased game with modes where voip is disabled, lol. There are more things but hey, its just a waste of time because SD is not able to respond and Bethesda is ignoring the Community as its best.

At this point I’d be happy with all the bots they want to throw into the mix if they would just fix the damn game from the irritating and nauseating lag-skip-jump-run in place till you die crap that we are constantly having to put up with. Without smooth running matches nothing else matters.

SD decide differently.
both about testing, community, SDK.
unsure how big part is ZM in it, but its fact.
with some ppl leaving ID, too, im seriously concerned about impact.

You got it backwards. A community doesn’t make a game great, instead a great game naturally creates a large community because people like it and want to keep playing it.
Brink is not a great game, its a so-so game at best (I had it returned after one week), and as soon as the next decent fps hits the shelves it will have no community to speak of (good thing they have bots to fill in the blanks, lol).

I normally get 5 v 5 on XBOX now.
However I still think they need a lobby system… :rolleyes:

That’s what all the haters said about Quake Wars too, and yet after 3 years it still had a fairly decent player base, with some new players constantly joining.
Some of the people who want Brink to be a CoD or MoH clone probably will leave the game, but I’m willing to bet the actual true fans of objective based team play will stick around for a while, just like they did with Quake Wars, and ET to a greater extent.

I don’t care enought about this game to ‘hate’ it or love it. 
Also, SD was very clear about what the game would be like. I don’t think anyone left the game because they were hoping it would be a clone of cod or anything.
