Brink - deja vu?

Brink, like Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Wolfenstein, has been awaited by a large part of the competitive ET community as a possible sequel to their favourite game. As of its release, May 10th 2011, it's been pretty clear the game has problems for competitive play: ATI cards have horrible problems (and so do certain nVidia cards), the game has a very low skill ceiling and is geared towards pub play.
