It is my sincerest hope that brink is as groundbreaking, unique, and fun as SD intends. What I really am looking forward to is finally having an immersive FPS instead of just random killing with no context. Online Co-Op with several friends instead of the 2 player LAN only limitations other games sometimes have. Weapon customization has always been a huge favorite of mine. And finally, a game without one shot snipers. I admit that snipers take skill, but as a rifleman, it just kinda ruins the enjoyment of the game when you repeatedly die with barely a chance to return fire.

I am a bit apprehensive though, waiting to find out about the details, and how everything comes together. Each individual idea I hear about seems like an amazing idea. The RPG elements, SMART, blended single and multiplayer, endless customization, weapon modifications, even little things, like the upside down skill tree - offering the most powerful abilities first. But what happens when its all combined? For example, if there's shoddy shot registration, it could become impossible to kill a light while they are bouncing off of walls all over. It seems like SD is doing their best to really nail this game, but with so many innovative ideas, I just fear that one or more may fall flat. Not a big fear mind you, as this is all coming from a person without much money yet has already pre-ordered. lol

people wont be bouncing off walls, but besides that i give this post an A+ and agree with what you say, i have pretty much the same fears, but overall im pretty damn confident

Cheers!

one shot kill from snipers is STILL better then Random shooting from grenade launchers that in most game's are extremely overpowered.

true, but a grenade launcher has it's uses, aside from the apparent use.
i myself like to use it to take out camping people, especially wallhacking campers

Like killing snipers in Half Life. Sometimes the only way to get a clear shot is to blow up the room.
