- you missed it. Game over.

I think ffow had more staying power.

Servers are empty, or half full of broken ai bots - ut3 has as many players and better bots...

My heart is broken by splash damage.

empty ? really, i'm not playing because I'm a bit annoyed about voip and also i'm playing the great assassins creed brotherhood
but i had planned to come back to brink in several weeks
are the servers really empty ?
or maybe a browser bug !

Regarding empty servers....nonsense! Our servers seem to be offline though.

The AI in Brink however, is pure excrement. If you need a certain class to complete an objective, you're gonna need an actual player to do it. The AI friendlies are slightly better than useless in this game. About the only function they serve is to distract the enemies and absorb their bullets from time to time.

Don't give up Sc1! Brink needs you!

All 3 TG servers are up and running.

Ok. They weren't showing in my browser earlier today, nor were they in my history, and I couldn't connect directly either. I'll give it another go when I get home.

The number of full servers has dropped substantially every day since launch. The total number of people playing seems so minor to me. Perhaps my server browser is borked. today When i made this post, I saw bout 1000 servers total with 20 or so total populated with enough to have a game. the rest have been empty most of the day. Last night it did not seem much better. Most reviews put this at a mediocre game, I just think it is over with the general public really fast.

Well if Brink is dead there goes any sort of inovation in the fps market, ALL HAIL COD 234!!!!!!, were the graphics are .5% better than last months release but the gameplay is the same, oh and while your at it bend over while I remove that 60 bucks from your walet through your rectum.

Well put my friend, well put. Like most games, once people realize its not the same game as COD, there is often a dramatic drop in player numbers. Brink is of course no exception. However, you don't need that many players to have a good time in Brink.

I've been playing the campaign and challenges everyday trying to build up my character and unlock some of the features. All of these can be played coop so if you see me in the Brink channel drop in and we'll get a game up.

Pfft yeah those guys that play COD....such sheeple

I've been playing quite a bit, but The Witcher 2 released yesterday, and that's a huge release. So I'll be playing that this week. Plus, I've been playing on other servers, with friendly fire off.

**Skud** · 05-18-2011, 02:55 PM

I know this is going to stir some debate, but I really have to ask: Why do we have FF on in a game like Brink? Brink = TF2 in my mind. I played it on my buddies Xbox the other day - I cannot imagine having FF on. There were some that demanded we have FF ON in TF2. It never happened because it just did not fit the title.

FF is great in almost every other game...

**Harlequin** · 05-18-2011, 03:44 PM

Yeah, to add to the FF thing....the hit boxes seem to be off quite a bit, in that I'll be aiming past friendlies by what looks to me like a nice margin, and they still take damage. I've noticed the same thing when escorting the bot. I'll stand behind it, using it as cover, will try to shoot around it and my rounds are bouncing off it in thin air.

**UnDeaD** · 05-18-2011, 04:20 PM

I hate how sliding around trips your team mates with FF on, considering I play a light body type, it's the best way to survive, sliding around corners.
