I was wondering however, if Brink could benefit from any small tweaks. This is what I got:
1. A lobby system would be much appreciated. I figure this could be done simply by expanding upon the fireteam. We should be able to invite people to a fireteam, which convenes in a lobby pre and post game. I get tired of searching out a game and then inviting my Xbox party, which is how I keep track of which homies I'm playing with.
2. Female characters. I'm not a girl nor would I create a woman character, but I could definitely see a lot of the lady gamers feelin left out (endless customization but no women, nuff' said...)
3. Some type of control over AI. I don't want to be able to tell em' to change class or anything that particular, but having an "aggressive" "defensive" "from up on me" type action would be awesome. I'm always reminded of Marvel Ultimate Alliance when I think of this system, they made simple and easy yet effective team controls.
4. I am thankful for the free DLC coming out that will expand upon the Operative, but I still think that the light body type itself could use some help. A little more health definitely. Maybe a stronger melee to equalize the lack of weapon selection? Wall hops are nice but I just feel like the light is a lose - lose
5. Some kind of option that eliminates the rank restrictions. An "Any rank" option would be fine. Get tired of seeing that my rank is too high to play with some of my good buddies, and having to make a character on the spot just to play with them.
6. We put all that effort into our characters, WE SHOULD ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THEM. I don't know what's up with the random face generator but I'd like to see my friends characters everytime just like I'm sure they'd like to see mine. The customization was one of the features Brink bragged about, how's about letting us enjoy that quality by always allowing us look how we should?
7. An option to browse my friend's created characters. It'd be nice to see what they've come up with.
8. More color choice options, maybe sub-options for certain clothing, like The Dude's shorts for example, it'd be sweet to customize his shorts and the knee pads instead of just picking a color scheme
9. Purely out of my personal preference, but a red laser sight would be nice. Maybe put it under the barrel where an underslung or a front grip would go. I fire from the hip constantly, and it would just help my personal play style.
Thanks for givin us a bada$$ game Bethesda, lookin forward to seeing the development team online. Anybody wanna get down on some matches, my Live handle is the same as my username. Dead_Cynic, always down for some Brinkin'
