I just played Brink. edits*

Hi!
So I played Brink with bots. Here's my review:

FPS

My specs:
Core 2 Duo E4600, 2,4Ghz
Asus EAH HD4850 512GDDR3
2x1GB 667Mhz RAM
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
So it's Brink's minimal, I had about 40-50fps as I felt, @ 1024x768. But it didn't effect at bullet firing speed as in other games like cs or cod.
Edit: On outsider maps I have about 15-20FPS, this way this is unplayable really.

Gameplay
I only played 3-4 maps, but the gameplay was fast. The guns are accurate even without iron sight, but they start to shake with the crosshair after firing with them 10bullets. And you shot ur ammo very very fast, I mean it takes 2-3 secs to fire a whole magazine. I think with promod and patches it'll be a very nice game. I felt a stranger on the map and I don't like this so called "smart" mode, but otherwise I like the game.
Edit: It's really annoying that most of the guns start shaking after firing some bullets.
Edit: The guns are underpowered I think, You can fire a whole magazine/clip in 3 secs but you hardly can kill the enemy with it.
It's hard to notice where you get the hit from. Nades are lame, they are like a popping over the whole map.


Tho I won't buy the game at first place since I don't know how many ppl actually like it and will play, so my buy depends on the community size.
Oh one more question, you can't set up private server, right? Cause of this steam thingie, or am i wrong?
I'll write more things later this evening or this week.

Edit: Robaciek just replied me, and he thinks it's not possible to make promod for brink under steam. Since I don't know shit about steam I am asking you, is it true or not?

CU!

Parent
Oh c'mon I had to reply. One page refresh 'oh potty i c what u did ther'. : >
Parent
I am actually stalking you!
Parent
Wtf hax :(
Parent
I don't even know why did people think it's gonna be ET2, id said they try to put together a teamplay based game with a lots of abilites, and as far as I saw they succed. I wish I had better PC, but summer is coming my job is coming so I really hope I start playing it in september.
btw, did you like wolfenstein mp? People didn't like it either, but I liked it and with promod and patches it also could have been a really nice game.
cheers
Parent
I played wolfenstein merely hoping for a promod to be developed. But the game failed before it was released anyway. The BETA thing was a bad move, They had next to no promotion of it and the game itself felt rushed.

Brink have prevented a leak, they have adertised on a pretty big scale and from what I see there are only a few slip ups.
Parent
is it on ps3 too? if not, its shit
Yes there is a ps3 version.
Parent
Most of the time it's the other way around.
Parent
I think with promod and patches it'll be a very nice game.
anyone know if brink has to use this "games for windows" shit where you need to log in with a windows live id, like xbl?

saw it on the picture @ http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=journal&mode=item&id=127232#comment2832999 (not mine)
it has similar shit called steam
Parent
i can live with steam, use it already for enough stuff

windows live etc is just an inconvenience
Parent
Will quote you on that in few weeks or months when you realize not even a promod can fix any game with such a shit engine.
That systemrequirementslab just told me to replace my i7 with an i5 (even with lower gHertz) to meet the recommended specs oO
yeah its like when u play really old games u need to slow down ur pc otherwise its unplayable fast ^^
Parent
got no problems with ET and FIFA98...
Parent

Parent
You're not gonna disagree with me that FIFA98 is the most awesome game ever, are you?
