    My guess is to actually give you a chance at winning. These bots can be fucking brutal.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Xbox has NOT updated, since any updates there have to go through Microsoft certification.

    That is good, 4v4 is pretty lame compared to 8v8 all humans, but I'll take 4v4 over intense lag anyway.

    Ugh shelving this game

    Why did they bother with this awesome parkour system when it all devolves into 'crunch a dozen guys into one tiny objective area or YOU LOSE THE MAP'

    And for that matter, why did they bother with this awesome parkour system when the maps are barely designed at all to make good use of it so the poor heavies can get to the fight

    TWO IMMENSELY SADDENED THUMBS DOWN.

    i agree the SMART system is tad underused. i really like the 'parkour this' challenge since you really get to tear ass around and do crazy stuff there.

    I dunno I'm relatively pleased with the execution of the smart system
    ease of movement
    shortcuts and neat ambush spots for lights and mediums

    I really like the size and cramped nature of the maps though
    fuck you, would-be snipers

    Okay let me lay down a concrete example of why I'm not playing Brink again

    The room on the 'escort Nechayev' map where you have to hack a safe, a tiny little vault on the third floor

    Thanks to glass walling, the size of the room, and the way the two entrances are arranged, a remotely competent defense of three, MAYBE four people can hole up forever

    Furthermore the layout renders the star feature of the game, SMART, utterly without worth


    This game could have been great, but so far the map designers have completely let me down

    that's not a particularly egregious example
    the grenades in brink are not particularly impressive but they do exist

    now, container city, that is a map where a competent resistance team can completely wall the security team at their spawn point and turn it into a meatgrinder

    2 health-buffed soldiers or a soldier and anyone with a grenade throw/shoot flashbang/molotov/grenade x 2 + kevlar/juiced heavy with a buffed MG

    you have to work as a team to kill the other team and stop them from doing stuff

    i can tell just from solololsony that buffs are a huge deal in this game

    tattoos and scars are another item in the customization menu, but are permanent when applied and apply to both security and resistance versions of that character
