Brink or not

Damn, i am really tempted meanwhile...

First i thought Brink won't be good and i won't be tempted to buy it in any way...
But now I saw there is alot of activity in the ESL already @ Brink section, seems like many CoD players giving it a try.

Also old ET:QW mates like asmo, aFa, HeaDi, duke_ etc telling me to give it a try...

And then my old "best inet mate" Baden-Württemberg juICE came up with the idea yesterday to buy it and do a team... now i am really tempted... but daily practice on evenings etc would so fuck up my rl again T_T

Tell me what to do crossies ! T_T

/edit
also i am not sure if my hardware will run stable fps... maybe someone with the same PC specs can tell me it works (check my profile for specs)

/edit2
atm i feel like United Kingdom TosspoT is right... should wait for a patch to come... or if it takes 3 months like it did @ wolfenstein...

/edit3
ok i will wait if SD is willing to patch and release SDK this time... if not, i won't buy it... topic closed :D

Parent
dans la semaine j'imagine , il a été envoyé le 11 . chaque jour je téléphone pour voir si il a été recup vu que je l'envoi pas chez moi directement.
Parent
even 3 days a week would fuck up my rl :D
Parent
mirc mix are your friend ^^
Parent
real team or nothing... :(
Parent
You're the best software engineer I've ever seen.
Parent
SC2 only :P
depends if you get fps or not :'), I like the game for the smart system, random movement and sliding everywhere. More of a fun factor than progaming for me.
brink or not brink that is question
it's not that great but thats my impression from playing public only, I dislike the aiming in this game. you can give it a try but dont need to play daily LoL
well ofc not daily, but also like 3 evenings a week fucks up my RL :D
Parent
then there is no hope for you and you will return to a 12 year old children - the choice is yours.
Parent
download and see for yourself will it run smoothly
dont play it competitive as you arent gifted , play some scrims and enjoy RL , winwin
who tells you i'm not gifted ? :)
Parent
just trolling :P

well i dunno iam at a age (hoho) where i realised that it doesnt make any sense to train hard as iam never getting to a decent skill level anyways. i just switched my priorities


i actually hate the game and yet i bought it yesterday so go ahead i guess :S
Parent
well you basically do not practice anymore to improve your personal skill... it's more about improving the teamplay skills of your team imo...
Parent
i was talkin about ql which was the last thing i was playing but after seeing brinks aiming , weapondmg spread and recoil iam sure that the invidual skill doesnt matter alot.

lets hope there will be a promode FROM the ET community :p
Parent
SC2 > brink
without a doubt ! ... but i am definitly not gifted @ SC2... to say it with Venkmans words :D
Parent
hey wanna play sc with me? :))
Parent
only diamond+ sry ! :D
Parent
? und was spiel ich?
Parent
ich tipp auf Bronze !
Parent
unverschämtheit.
Parent
i all comes down to practice not talent imho!
Parent
diamond 3500pts @ Season1 (top8)... did not play much in season2 yet ... but ranked diamond again...
Parent
Damn nerd.. :p Somehow I lose interest after every 1on1, doesn't matter if I win or lose :D
Still diamond, dunno about pts..
Parent
gogo signup for crossfire cup :D
Parent
To Brink or not to Brink.

To Brink.
Currently its not worth your money
this most likely

but its still fun to pub but the game is really unbalanced at the moment with the perks and some maps are impossible to attack on it
Parent
yeah i am really scared of buying it and finding out it is just the same crap als wolf or ET:QW (even tho ETQW was still better than Wolf !)

don't wanna waste the money ... and more important the time... for another crapgame that will die "oh'so'fast"
Parent
This is something you should never have to say but its true...."Wait until the next patch"
Parent
yeah but until that you might have lost alot of time already you could have learned the maps and classes etc :D ... you know what i mean... damn :D

but i guess ur right... if it turns out to take another 3 months or more for the first patch and the SDK, then it just can't be good...
Parent
Yup - I got a good preorder deal so Im quite happy, if you paid full price I'd be unhappy
Parent
download it, crack and try solo 8)

buy key if it rocks
Parent
i like it eventho im getting 20-30fps
get aFa back to sc2 :(
aFa is lost i think :(
Parent
Dont do it man!
Well worth every penny I spent on it. Clocked up 28 hours gaming on it so far and I am sure another 100 before the promod is released!
I like the game as such but somehow I feel the aiming is very very strange and just bad. very laggy aiming in my opinion
Parent
which level are you and what weapon do you use?

i seem to die very fast :P
Parent
Level 20, I use the Kroos with barely any attachments. Don't use many perks either.
Parent
let me add you as friend on steam! account?
Parent
Its playable at the moment, but the game really needs a promod of sorts - once you have a team of level 15+ with self revives and stuff its competitively broken. But the game is good and as long as someone smart picks up said promod there should be a bright future in store =)

also, devs need to make some changes to help improve peoples FPS in general - picmip 5 needed!
picmip over 9000 plox.
Parent
Brink has a selection of cod4 players, quake players, team fortress 2 players, et players. A lot moved over to it. Its a great game just gets slated by retards. Give it a go for £25.00 you cant go wrong!
got disappointed by etqw and wolf so much, i dunno if it deserves another try... should do it like TosspoT said imo... wait if they really release a patch and sdk...
Parent
lol at wolfenstein...man that game sucked so hard.
Parent
whats sdk btw
Parent
software development kit... the thing you need to create a promod :)
Parent
Wolfenstein was actually broken though, you cant for a second relate it to that game - it was unfinished.

Brink has some issues, like all games, but it is very playable public game and 5on5's are played a lot - just needs a promod for tweaking. It's similair to ETQW in some aspects but no vehicles some faster movement and the class system is nice.

They have already said patches are coming (there has been a very small one to fix some problems already) and SDK is on the way.
Parent
they kept saying the same about the SDK and patches @ ETQW & Wolf...
Parent
where can i get it for 25 quid?
Parent
awesome, but is there a way to just get some kind of a key without the whole pack?
Parent
dont think so - believe play delivers to abroad though, not 100% sure :)
Parent
will check it out, thanks mate
Parent
c est le jeu ou juste une clé?
Parent
version boite pc tout ça
Parent
tu la pris la bas? combien de temps la livraison?
Parent
jl'ai acheté hier dans la nuit donc je pourrais pas dire, mais shewie m'a conseilé là bas donc faudrait lui demander.
J'avais pas vu que tu étais francais, achète le là toi : http://www.game.fr/Product/Default.aspx?SKU=101616
Tu gagnes un tshirt et ça prendra moins de temps.
Parent
jvais voir sa, merci
Parent
I got a key. I ordered from play.com and it didnt come on the release so I went the store and bought a 2nd copy. I received my play.com delivery today. and its not needed. So I placed it on ebay :D
Parent
sell me for good price mate
Parent
Nah fella, not gunna ship outside UK fuck that.
Parent
i just need the key to activate on steam man ;o

im kartez
Parent
does it work just by writing activate product? Anyways I think im gunna just keep it on ebay:)
Parent
its a steam game so yes, you activate and can download etc, no??

le fu
Parent
its worth the money I spent, eventhough I havent played much yet. But for full price on steam or german stores it would've been a waste
depends on upcomming mods just another pub game atm.
if you got the money anyways there is nothing wrong with buying it.
it's less about the money then about investing the time into a team and practice etc...
Parent
if time is that scarce then you might wonna invest it in a game that you know to be good and catching on and eventually switch to brink if/when it is feasible for competetive play.
Parent
I just hope it will be better or else I ruined 50 euro's :pPpP
start et again and play withe me :D
ach noor ^^
Get it. Seriously. It's basically unpatched, it has bugs, and it's occasionally frustrating with the objectives.. But honestly it's a really fun game when playing with other people (publics/5on5s/challenges/whatever). It's currently not ready for compettition in my eyes, but I don't know if that's what you are interested in anyway

TLDR: Buy if want some fun, Wait if you want to prac hard go pro.
Hi2u Noormate!

I bought it... runs like crap on my crappy old computer... but I am entertained :)
If I could run it with stable fps, I would buy it after my exams :P
So if you can run it and have no important prior engagements, why not!
i wont buy it :d

rl > vl ... :s
after my little ownage comeback... i just had to get into real life again, though i also only played for 6 weeks or smth :D (normal day was like-> work -> play -> sleep rofl.. nerd clan ;x)
rly fucked up :D so just do NOT buy brink...
You're not a real one.
