Free DLC is great news.

Still haven't gotten Brink, but the Mailman has a chance today to make my weekend. Don't let me down, USPS!

My main character just got to level 20. Soldier attributes maxed out.

Trust me, there is lag, but I stick to the 5 vs 5 competition mode which cuts down on the amount of lag.

Of course there is lag, but every single online shooter i've ever played has lag. In Halo big team battles where its 8vs 8 has always been a lag fest for me.

I'm kind of wanting to get this game, I've watched reviews, but I just can't decide. Can anyone give some pros & cons?

Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

Finally got it in the mail today, played through all the challenges solo and I'm loving it so far.

Time to hop online.

Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

Online is awesome!

5 vs. 5 runs with no lag for me, even using my weak wi-fi Internet connection.

Can't wait to unlock more stuff. I think I will just stick to playing Medic for now until I learn the maps better.

Great game so far and a nice throwback to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

Some good info I found:

http://denkirson.xanga.com/738334226/brink/

Health

Light has 120 health
Medium has 140 health
Heavy has 180 health

Up to five extra Health Pip buffs can be acquired. One from Hardened, Two from a Health Command Post and two from a Medic.

The first additional Health Pip adds +30 health to all Body Types.
The following Health Pips add +25, +20, +15 and +10.
Having all buffed Health Pips is a total 100 extra health.

Damage

Head (1.5x damage multiplier)
Torso & Arms (1.0x)
Legs (0.75x)

Weapon damage starts off at their listed number, but after a point, they begin to lose damage. Most Assault and Long Rifles seem to maintain their max damage (if they lose any at all) in just about any encounter due to the mostly close quarters fighting. SMGs, Shotguns, Heavy guns and Pistols however begin to lose damage as early as 6m (Tokmak) or as far out to about 20m (Sea Eagle).

Accuracy

Sighting will give you better accuracy over crouching in most cases. Sighting overrides posture, so it is not necessary to crouch and Sight to get best accuracy. Moving while Sighted will also maintain best accuracy. Accuracy when Knocked Down, Climbing and Sliding is 10 for all weapons. Firing extended bursts will amplify the power of spread increase and recoil. Maximum inaccuracy varies between weapons, but you really shouldn't be spraying anyway.

So when your team controls a Health Command Post everyone on the team gets a health boost? So many layers of strategy to this game.

Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

Yep, captured command posts boost your team's starting health.

I sent out a bunch of friend requests to the 360 people in this thread.

Loving what I've played of this game so far. Anyone still on the fence, it looks like the game is down to $40 on Amazon.

Should be noted that the command post boosts are disabled in the 5 vs 5 competition mode.

Damn, must have just missed it for 40 unless that was a typo since it's 50 right now on Amazon. Definitely still interested in picking this up and probably would have pulled the trigger if it was 40. Been trying to save some money and keep my new game purchases at $45 or under. Sounds like I'd enjoy it but just don't want to pay 60ish bucks for it. Think I'll keep waiting until there's a second patch with more network and hopefully some gameplay fixes as well.

Can't wait to hear some ps3 impressions.

Quick match video playing as Resistance on security tower. You'll also notice weeman in the vid.

It is still processing so the quality should eventually get up to 720p.

Sweet, I was on the fence about this game after hearing mixed reviews and was going to wait until the price dropped, but I might pick it up now(BTW it's $50, not $40)...that isn't enough of a drop alone but I'm going to tack on the $20 credit from my last gaming purchase AND employee discount(I work at Amazon). This game will cost me like 20 bucks. I'm definitely getting it now. Woop woop.
