I'm at the point where I will never preorder another game unless they are a proven product. For example, I will buy L.A. Noire. Rockstar has had two straight game of the year awards with GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption. Never again will I buy something like this. I went back and watched video from their early promotion of this game and for the life of me I can't figure out how this game is so much uglier than what they are playing in these videos. Never have I bought a game that was so bad that the textures couldn't even load. I love the concept of this game but I feel like I have been tricked into buying a multiplayer only game. How could they even make a claim that this is a campaign played through multiplayer. Capturing an objective or escorting is nothing new. A short meaningless clip while the game loads does not make this a campain played thought multiplayer. Even that isn't a deal breaker. The fact that this game is literally broken is the deal breaker. They have until May 17th to fix this crap. I will trade this in when I pick up L.A. Noire. This will easliy be the first time I have paid for a game and traded it all within 7 days.

My feelings exactly. Never been more ripped off in my gaming life.

This could effect me renting it or buying it. Anyone else having these issues on 360?

We have been working on updates for Brink to address the lag issue that some people have reported they were experiencing.

In the meantime, we have made a configuration change for 360 users (which will be available to the PS3, once PSN is up) that alters the number of human players when matchmaking for “Campaign” and most ‘Freeplay’ modes to eight total human players. This new configuration will allow those connecting to and hosting matches (particularly those with lower upstream bandwidth) to more reliably find and connect to quality hosts via the match-making process – resulting in less lag and more fun. This change is being rolled out today and will be available worldwide.

For players who haven’t been experienced lag, we’ll still support 8v8 on all maps via a new ‘Big Teams’ configuration in Freeplay, and through custom settings in Private matches. There is no download required for this update and it will be available automatically the next time you log in to play Brink and launch either campaign or standard Freeplay matches. This should allow players new to the Ark as well as veterans to find quality matches suitable to their preferred play style.

We are also releasing an incremental update for PC players via Steam that addresses AI, GPU, and server issues. See the http://store.steampowered.com/news/5464/. Many of these fixes are being included in the full update for the 360 and PS3 versions.

We would like to thank you for supporting Brink and for your continued feedback. To show our appreciation for your support of Brink, we will be making the first DLC for Brink available for free when it is released. This DLC is planned for June and will offer additional maps. We’ll continue to provide announcements about the next title update, as well as the first DLC release as that information becomes available.

DL'd the patch, and the lag is atrocious. I'm walking into walls and haven't had more than 5 seconds of continuous gameplay without game-breaking lagginess. I've spent the last hour with the screen skipping, or being frozen in place, or finding myself behind cover one second and unexplainably out of cover and 3 feet to my right a second later. I tried a dozen different games, hoping at first it was just a bad host. I bought this game for the multiplayer and can't even play it.

Lagging like crazy on online modes. I played 5 games and all them lag me and freeze me. Really pissed off as I bought Black Ops on the release day and more people were playing this and no lagging.

I hope they fix this as my stats are reflecting of this lag as I'm getting killed and can't move.

Also where is this logon to see online stats like it says in the game. I can't find it to enter the code.

Sorted out now. Everything's running great.
