Played about 3 hours of Brink today and liking it more than I had initially. I'm starting to get over what it isn't, the broken promises, and just accepting it for what it is.

I'm playing a light soldier and choosing teammate-escort objectives rather than location based ones - pretty cool being a body guard and helping them complete map-winning objectives.

I'm damn close to uninstalling it. RAGE! So disappointed with it. Playing it made me want to go and play Boredlands due to the art styles of the two being somewhat similar. I'll give brink a month or so to work out its bugs, or until I've finished LA Noir (when I get it), give the devs a chance to add some polish, but yeah I'd still play BC2 over this any day of the week.

Yep, Bad Company 2 is certainly far better. My opinion that Brink is a 7/10 game hasn't changed, but I'm over my anger at Splash Damage's aggressive hype machine now and am just playing it despite it not being what they said, or what I wanted - and it's fun enough.

I'd give it 5. It doesn't really bring that much innovation to the genre, the parkour system is almost pointless (cept the slide), its like they took parts from TF2 (objective based team work with individual tweaks), COD (the gun customisations and perks), Borderlands (art style graphical interpretation) and created a big lump of coal, except there's no diamond in it once you've delved into it a bit more, there's just more coal, and disappointment that this lump of coal they hyped up to have diamonds turned out to be nothing but coal. I'm going to go destroy some buildings in BC2. lol

I just wish it would allow you to switch body type in-game. sometimes you need a big gun, and if, like me, you primarily run as a scout - you're fucked. that aside, really loving it now. I like how rare it is to go down to a single hit. i like that i dont get stuck on 3 pixel wide door frames (TF2!). But yeah, still a few annoying bugs to be sorted.

[Milenko]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing Aegis - would love to switch out body types on the fly :/

[Aegis]

also i've discovered why the average medic doesn't heal you! Tried running as medic last night and 5 different team mates killed me for chasing them to give heals - assuming they thought i was an enemy operative, but still..

I've only played on 1 FF enabled server so not had that issue, it just seems that people aren't interested in wasting there PIPs on you, they are more interested in keeping themselves alive. its rather annoying, and stupid cos you get more points overall actually being a medic for your team than keepin yourself alive.

Absolutely; they're idiots. I get 20-something points with every ammo handout I provide, and constantly handing them out is one of the reasons I'm able to top the scoreboard consistently.

I have a Screen shot of a game i played yesterday, i shit you not 10k points, top scorer.
i then looked at the overall best players

best over all (Me)
best medic (Me)
best engineer (Me)
best soldier (Me)
Most kills (not me)

there was 4 guys complaining that i got top score without getting most kills, i think the closest was 6k and 3k.
Accused me of 'hacking', people just don't understand the concept to the game.

[Aegis]

yeah, kills give crap-all xp

[Milenko]

Which is AWESOME in an objective based game.
