At first I wasn't convinced

NOTE THIS BEFORE YOU READ: I think the graphics are good
I have only lagged in one match so far and have played for a solid 4 1/2 hours


Well as my titles states, when I brought the game home and played my first few matches with my friends in Co-op i was starting to get more and more disapointed, but then I started an online resistance campaign with my friend and in the first 3 mintues of the game something clicked. I don't know what it was but everything I did just increase my adrenaline, and I mean everything. Hacking a computer while being protected by my friend? +1 adrenaline. Escorting the vip? +1 adrenaline. Taking out two guys by hipfiring my smg and then switching to my auto pistol and hipfire another? +1 adrenaline. Sneaking up on an enemy and bashing them in the back? +1 adrenaline.

I was having the time of my life and ever since that game have continued to do so. Basically all I'm saying is if you got some friends and can get some solid gameplay the way it's meant to be played, This game is a blast and I hope people are actually giving it some time to grow on them.

For me the game was a major disappointment for the first six hours after that i got into my groove and now i enjoy playing it.
Things that really bother me about BRINK:
1: Campaign is WAY too short (i'm talking the whole thing security and resistance together)
2: Each mission is too short and has too much for engineers to do and WAY too little for operatives to do
3: Customization, Were? well thats a little drastic but there really isn't as much as i expected from brink! (i was hoping that you could at least change a base color and trim of your clothing, but no there are around ten presets to choose from for each article of clothing)
4: The main menu! please improve!
5: More challenges please, this ones not a big deal but i feel that their were not enough and the quality of them was kinda disappointing
6: The Game Needs More Content (i really hope SD works their tails of trying to get some Free! high quality DLC out soon, the game really needs it)
To me the game didn't seem finished but i hope to see more game content available in the future!

I agree with you entirely. I can't wait for some DLC and that should make it all alright.

I AGREE!!
It started off not so hot for me. My first matches today (around 1pm EST) were terrible, extreme clipping to the point that I could hardly move and certainly couldn't hit the broad side of an Imperial Cruiser.
But then, as if by magic, I got onto a perfect host where gameplay was very smooth and felt accurate to my control and I was nearly unable to turn the game off. This happened around 430 EST after I had taken a break to mow the lawn. I don't know if it was because of an increase in players getting home from school and work in the US or what, but it was awesome!!!!

The game does have some flaws but it is extremely fun and very addictive. The biggest downside for me was the lack of stats after the match. Kills, deaths, assists, repair units, objectives completed and so on would be great to be able to check out. I finished many matches with top kills, best overall and best in class, but I would like to know a little more about what got me there. Without post game stats, the game may lose a little luster after hitting the level max. When XP is no longer a factor, then the only thing to really look forward to will be wins/losses, KDR and how exactly you affected the outcome of the match and without stats it's kind of hard to tell.

The other issue I found was that I was the only person the entire day with a headset on. Played for about 6 hours real time (probably 3-4 hrs in game) and not one person was wearing a headset.
BTW, this is all on XBOX 360 and is entirely my take and it's worth about as much as you paid for it....LOL.....see you out there!!!!

How do you know me? :huh:

I miss MAG too, or it's glory days at least. Once I got the platinum and the lag got UNBEARABLE there was no point in playing anymore.

I was thinking the same thing. I cant stand not seeing my stats during or after a game. XP and thats it? Lets hope this is a will be simple fix, because I know were not the only ones thinking this.
