Brinks player numbers are depreciating faster than assets on a Greek balance sheet, however for those that did play the game players are being warned to change their passwords as Bethesda and Brink specifically has been hacked wide open.
Visitors to the popular Torrent site the Pirate Bay website can download the entire game source code and database passwords for the Brink site. Whilst user data has not been uploaded the hacking group behind this have claimed to have access to them.
According to Steam Brink currently has just 689 players online right now, ranking it below games many years older than it.

worse than ET wtf >.<
Where != were
Brink has no future because it has no support from its own developers, you only have to look at ET to see that even a pile of shit game can be made into something much better - although with ET a promod took 6months in this day and age 1 month is seen as too long for a competitive scene to build.
Ye, It does take time, but with this day and age, the gaming just isn't the same anymore, So i really do doubt it will kick off, even with the year. I'd like it too, but im not gona sit tight and wait for something which doesn't seem promising.
And that is splashdamage's fault, no release of an SDK has really hampered the competitive scene.
Why does everyone blame SD straight away? Bethesda are to blame just as much if not more.
Same shit in ET:QW and Wolf with Activision, they fucked us over by cutting support early on and allowing the games to be released as they were in the first place and yet everyone rushed out to buy COD from them a month later while vowing never to buy a game made by SD or Endrant and took joy in the fact people lost their jobs at the latter.
The launch for Brink was a shambles, I find it hard to believe neither SD or Bethesda didn't know of some of the problems, however what done is done, they are trying to put things right and as such other stuff has been put back. (SDK, demo recording, comp features) Sadly not everyone is that patient :)
Not all that post was directed at you :)
Back to Wolf, it was Activision who hired Endrant, an unknown small developer with no previous titles against their name, why? Because they would have been cheap. They also chose to hire Threewave before that to start work on the MP then decided to drop them and shift to another developer.
For the SP they hired Raven, the developer who haven't made a good game in about 10 years.
Now to Brink, Bethesda chose not to have a beta, closed or otherwise (ecxluding the ps3 one), seems they cut corners on internal QA hence the messed up launch. They also are preventing SD from been more open than they once were controlling all information on Brink. That's why we don't hear a great deal about what's been worked on at the moment.
I hope both parties in this matter learn from the launch of Brink, SD should demand more freedom and Bethesda should spend more money on QA.
Long term prospects aren't looking good though.
I'm having fun at the moment regardless, had my £23 pounds worth I think.
Maybe cause they are shitty developers? Has there been a single good game from them? Only decent thing they managed to do is use 3rd party engine and create a copy of RTCW gameplay, which then de-evolved into what we know as Quakewars (also developed on 3rd party engine) and now BRINK.
They couldn't code if their lives depend on it.
Can't see that? Have fun buying their next game.
I know they aren't the best developer in the world, yet I've managed to have fun in all their games, Brink is no exception, sure their games aren't perfect but who's are these days? I've not played a 'perfect' game since the SNES.
You may not like their games but others do, it's all subjective at the end of the day.
Thanks though, I will have fun with their next game.
can't force ppl to play half made game
Many bugs/craps that need to be fixed but times better than other comercials releases !
HF waiting for ET2

omg you found my guilty pleasure
there isnt even any register- or login-button on brinkthegame.com (=no accounts)

can't download from torrent on uni, so didn't check it
Also ET servers like cybergames are basically TDM servers now so why not have it as a mode
New low? I beg to differ, this is just what we need for a promod. Rejoice!
Who's with me?

Game source code vs website source code... not having a go but the way you have worded that just makes it sound worse than it actually is and as others have pointed out, mostly only affects console users.
i already regret spending money for it.
:'D
I do see there are not many full servers though, it lacks the real warmode and sometimes it's just impossible to win in certain maps..
We still enjoy the game though, but that's mostly cuz we just all go on teamspeak and have fun, the fragging is easy, the objectives are mostly easy to capture and harder to defend..
I don't know, I'm not as addicted to this as to ET, but it still is fun.
Also, the community in Brink is a bitch. There's no talking involved in the games, you'll never see a decent conversation except between those that already know eachother, it's all about fragging/objective/teaming, although there's so many people that just EGO rather than helping out others..
Oh well, we'll see how it goes, atleast our server stays online for now :)
