Since the release of Agents of change DLC, The in-game community has been great, I'm loving hitting free play and getting thrown into almost fully human matches every time. So will new players, makes a big difference when someone rents this game and see's that compared to pre AoC DLC, which was to be honest dreadful, still fun but things looked bad.
They just released the Pre-Order content to everyone, though some may say this as wrong, and kinda disrespectful to those who were with the game even before release. What you have to realize is, the second breath SD have managed to scrounge together after AoC, needs to be taken seriously, this next wave of players can't be lost, or the game will be [censored]. By releasing this gear the make a lot of new players happy, and it also gives the impression that they're a company that's actually working on [censored]. Plus just cuz you have one Pre-order pack, i don't think you can be pissed they just gave you the chance to have em all.
As for the future(near) Brink IMO don't have that long until their next content release, This is what i think we need and in what order they need to do it (please note:This is what i think)
Clan:
While the community is doing, they need to get Clan system and site set up and released, this is the content that will keep the game in good shape, add a more competitive edge, and amp up the [censored] talking.
Weapons:
New weapons and attachments are obviously needed soon also, IMO they should be released with a new challenge not just into the game.
Abilities:
Some people say we have enough abilities because you can only equip 3 at once, but as I've said umpteen times, It's needed to make builds, characters and overall game-play more fun and diverse.
Maps:
by time the three above are done, New maps would be nice, As of right now I'm very happy with amount of maps, and with the maps themselves.
Characters (Models, clothes etc)
Obviously we all like to see some new rags thrown in, don't think this one should be in any order, pretty easy to release couple of sets per DLC.
Lobbies:
crysis2 has made me hate lobbies, i love the way here, i can just hit join game, and join game, not waiting for 4 more chars etc. But i do agree the whole between match and pre-match set-up needs a huge overhaul, The ability to change out/ add abilities, change weapon attachments, and i think even appearance should be accessible while between matches. Either way this will have to be addressed in the future.
bored of typing now, plus ma youngest just woke so...
