It was super overwhelming at first, I guess it was just hard for me to do what I was told and to look at it up-close instead of trying to grasp the whole picture.
For real though, equip a rifle with rapid fire and give it to me and suddenly it's "he's dead, he's dead, he's dead. He- oh wait...nope, I got him. He's dead, he's dead, OH a group of people? MOLOTOV!

Easy is fucking hard mode, Normal is insane mode and Hard is just godhood mode on some maps.

I wonder, has anyone ever finished Security campaign story after Renegade? The missile level is nigh impossible to win.

Shows backstory and middle on founders and resistance people

Alright so come on, discussion in this bitch, favorite guns, setups, classes, stories.

My favorite setup right now is Resistance, Heavy Body, The Sweat hat and Dude body, Chinzor LMG with big box ammo and Rhett Assault rifle with a Scope, Grip and Ducttaped mags. Favorite class is Soldier, droppin ammo and molotovs and big booty grenades errywere. The Operative class is fun too, caltrop grenaaaaades

I've been playing a Light Body Operative with a Barnett and silenced Ritchie.

Silent Running should be available sooner, in my opinion. It's made my job so much easier, knowing that I can leave the main body of my team without the enemy immediately finding out and gunning me down when I'm alone. I've had people run right past me without realizing it, because they're so reliant on their radars to identify threats. Not that I'm much different, of course. Half of my time in combat is spent hacking comms off of dying enemies so I can know where everyone is at all times.

God daisies it, I can only play campaigns without major issues in server finding.

When I try to open up a freeplay server list, everything lags to epic proportions and I can barely even choose a server.

Main set up is a medium body type with The Look hood, Eel Pants, The Look jacket, and the Euston AR (COG Scope, Duct-tape magazine, front grip) with Carb-9 SMG (Laser sight, high capacity magazine) and my favorite class is engineer. I love just putting mines next to doorways and buffing my damage.

Also, it seems like any mission where your defending is pretty fun and easy. Any mission where you're attacking is kinda fun and hard as fuck. Security Day 3? Sweet jesus on a shit stick that intel run is almost impossible if you don't grab it ASAP.

One thing bugs me about the Voodoo face paint. Why does the guy paint his face black as well?

It's kinda weird to see a pale body then a dark face.

Edit: Nevermind, kinda gotten used to it now.

Also, light engineer is awesome.

So I'm sorta leaning towards Brink over Portal 2 because of multiplayer and the teamwork stuff and so on.

gameplay ruining bugs

Laggy as shit (like, you can't walk if your ping's over 100 or something, it doesn't ACTUALLY show your ping so I'm guessing), two or three times every sound just turned off and I had to restart the game, and of course the performance is horrible.

bad single player

As said earlier, multiplayer with the whole other team being bots and your own being either bots or real people. Friendly bots are shitty so usually you have to play online if you want to win.


Also, the UI is confusing, and an obvious bad port from consoles if you play on PC, you need to reach to the edges of your screen to go back one screen, when customizing you can't zoom out if you change something on your face, you have to leave to the main menu (at least I still haven't figured out a way to zoom out), etc. Also, switching between a molotov and a regular grenade is weird.

The "customization" is silly, at least as far as clothes go, because you get item sets, like some shorts that go with some shirt, and if you try to combine different sets you look stupid. Haven't really tried the gun stuff yet.


Of course, this is all very negative, but it's not like I hate the game, I just wish it was better considering how much hype it received. I don't like bad plots and half-arsed single player, and I don't like being unable to play a game at the minimum visual settings flawlessly when it looks like I should.

Complain about the plot when you can tell me what Arkoal is. Also don't complain a game is laggy if you Internet sucks fat dick. Mine works perfectly. I can't really argue the clothes thing cause that's really a matter of opinion. Ui as well, considering I find it comfy.

Lore isn't plot, there's no question that lag is a huge problem because the development team acknowledged it so your opinion is irrelevant here, the fact that they have sets of clothes that go together much better than combinations of different sets is, the way I see it, unarguable (please show me a few good combinations if you're going to disagree, because I haven't found any, any just try to incorporate pyromaniac clothes with something else), and being unable to go back in menus with the keyboard and have to get your mouse all the way to the corner on the bottom right to reach a minuscule button is definitely not comfy to me, but whatever.
Saying my Internet "sucks fat dick" isn't the best way to make a convincing point either, as far as I'm concerned.

EDIT: Sorry, lore is completely wrong, but you should get what I mean, if you know of a better term let me know. But if you prefer, this is like saying Mass Effect has the best plot ever because you get new info in your Codex every five seconds. That's just random information on the setting, but it has little to do with how the story unfolds.

Ive got absolutely 0 lag problems, I actually like the UI. It's a nice change from the blank and boring modern fps that has been standardized. Although that could be because I got it for Xbox.

I don't know about you guys, but I like this game. And I'm going to spend all of my time focusing on how fun it is, rather than nitpick and bitch and whine.
