Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

The map was the one where you are outside fighting through almost a dark city street. Me and the sniper were on the far right side up on the overlooking stair casing. Once you get through that choke point you go through a big double door which opens up to a winding chain link fence area, then the end is through the chain link fence to the right into a door.

We got caught up at the end of the chain link fence area.

Had the same issue. Couldn't get past the chain link fence area. Plus it took forever once you respawn to get back there.

Had fun playing online. I'm enjoying the objective based gameplay and hopefully we can get a group together from here to play together sometime.

Same I always buff firepower first. Save one for yourself as well. Medium turrets are pretty great, partner up with a operative that can hack your turret and it's great. Aldo landmines have helped me alot. I can't wait to get to where I can lay 2 at once.


Sent from me, duh.

What does the Recon do when hacking the turret? I have yet to play as the Recon class so I don't know the abilities yet.

I also like mines, they are get placing them right on hack points, objective bomb locations, or on down escorts. Having one more would be really helpfull for when I got a turret guarding on area, mine behind me guarding my flank, and I just that one extra for that one area I can't always be looking at.

Also do you find that the Silencers do jack **** ?? I equiped one last night and was getting murdered because it knocked down my power so much. I could not get a kill before they killed me. I killed removed it and got back to holding my own.

Yeah I'm absolutely in love with this game right now. It's not perfect, but it's a damn good time. Played about 5 matches online today and it was smooth. Good fun. Need to get some OS guys together! Feel free to add me if you want. GT is same as the username. I'm planning on playing pretty much all day tomorrow until 4 or 5 PM PST.

I joined one of your games for a quick second when I was setting up my recording equipment, but the wifey got home and needed help other wise I would of stayed.

Yeah I played some 5v5 and not once had lag. Played regular and had a bunch of lag.


Sent from me, duh.

I been having same experience. But I have not tried regular other than the standard campaign online. Other than the online campaign, it has been nothing but 5 v 5.

Had the same issue. Couldn't get past the chain link fence area. Plus it took forever once you respawn to get back there.

It is a LONG trek!! We beat it the other day and that is a hell of a tough escort mission. You literally have to keep the escort moving non-stop or you won't pass that mission. The time allowed vs the time it takes the escort to arrive is VERY close. So if you get held up at anything choke point for several mins well completing it basically becomes impossible.

Plus that ramp going up to the big double door right before the chain link area is the perfect choke point for the defenders. Plenty of walls to hide behind, plenty of open space for turrets and plenty of high up sniping positions to rain hell down on the escorts. TOUGH mission but must admit really fun one.

I know OS has had "game nights" in the past. We need to work on getting a OS game night with Brink. We all have that team aspect in us from sports games and this games fits us perfectly.

Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

What is it about 5 v 5 that makes the lag go away when every other type is a terrible lag fest?

I can't answer that. I have played the 8 v 8 servers online with the online campaign and experienced no lag. Honestly I have never experienced lag yet that has been crippling. I keep hearing about it but have yet to experience it. I have had games that the start of the load video is all choppy and I can tell it is a laggy server, so I just next right then and there and research for a room. Normally get into a good room right after. But I have yet to play in a room that has me skipping, warping, or sliding around. I think dedicated servers would fix everyone issues that has average to low end upload speeds. To many people are hosting with upload speed of 1-4 megs up. Where someone like me with a 25+ upload speed can host and people can play just fine.

I just have stuck with the 5 v 5 games because it is on the competitive mode. No Spawn viewing, Friendly fire on, etc. More geared as the "ranked" mode you can say.

Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

Played one game last night and it was pretty laggy, then I just ended up watching some show on TV about feral hogs. I'll try again later.

Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

Been playing for a few hours this morning. Got on a team that communicated well, and we dominated things. Played the competitive 5 vs 5 mode and had no lag.

The mailman let me down again, so still no Brink.

Maybe tomorrow.

Yeah that was the one.

I got medium turret before I left for work, and will be trying it out tonight. I respecced my first character to go pretty much fully dedicated engineer. I like how the respec penalty isn't severe enough to deter anyone from using it (you're penalized 1 level), but I don't really understand the point of having a penalty at all.

Question for Phobia, since he's doing the engy thing too: On the run out of spawn, do you think weapon buff or Kevlar would be the better upgrade to hand out first?

I do kevlar first because you have to select it with the d pad. After you hand out kevlar the buff goes back to being damage, so you basically just hold down "x" to give out both to the same person.


You fellas can add me also. I'm usually on after 9 pm central once I put the yungins in the bed. Gtag - lilheavy

Looks like the patch went live for both 360 and pc. Anyone notice any changes in mp lag?

[jrider99]

Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

I'm curious when this patch actually went live. I played this morning and again about 1-1:30 p.m. Eastern and wasn't prompted to download anything.
I can't recall ever seeing a patch go live in the middle of the day. Has anyone actually downloaded this yet?

Now that you say that man, I think we were on the same team. I remember your GT. I kept thinking it was something like your OS name.

Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

I got the patch the first day. I think this article from IGN is just couple days late is all.
