i am on a ps3 and myself and a buddy both had fully charged controllers and we never could change anything to co-op mode. the entire time we had to play in single player mode. how do you get it to work to play 2 player on one tv with 2 controllers???? i know psn is down but is that seriously the only reason???

thanks for the help!!

if each controller has their own XBL profile with gold status then I THINK you can just have one controller start the game and while its loading invite the player of controller 2.

I think Brink is 1 controller per system. On Xbox, we picked whoever had the least amount of lag and joined on him when he started the game.

where is the option to invite another person without being online?

i still don't see an option to join the game if you aren't connected to the internet

You can't. I was on the internet when I joined my friend. Sorry if I mislead you. On my Xbox case, it says that on the the Xbox, single player. Xbox live is online multi 2-16 players or co-op 2-8 players. You need an internet connection to play with others. Am I the only who looks at that part of the case anymore?

Well, funny thing is the OP is talking about the PS3 version of Brink, not the Xbox version. Does anybody read the post these days?

doesnt matter, there is no split screen its one plater only as far as offline.
