Zoro zei:27 euro bij Gamegears.co.uk en TheHut. Aangezien het Steamworks is, denk ik wel dat ik het me ga aanschaffen. Hopelijk wordt het een community met wat maturiteit, aangezien het nogal objective-based is.
hoe zeker kun je zijn dat je het spel besteld dat het ook effectief aankomt?
vind zo'n dinges steeds maar wat louche... normaal kost het spel 50-60 euro, hoe komt het dan dat ze het voor 27 kunnen verkopen?

Super goedkoop, je key toegestuurd binnen 5 min (uitgezonderd eerste keer kan het wel 10 uurtjes duren), indien key niet werkt geld terug of ander spel, nog nooit problemen gehad. Werkt (voorlopig) perfect voor mij.

What is the Brink Standalone Dedicated Server?
The Brink Standalone Dedicated Server allows anyone to run multiplayer servers for the PC version of Brink. As the server is standalone, it does not require a full version of Brink to be installed and is completely free.
Where will I be able to get the Brink Standalone Dedicated Server?
The Brink Standalone Dedicated Server will be available for download via Steam prior to release. Once the server is available, you can simply browse to the Tools tab in your Steam client and grab it from there.
Will I be able to run several instances of the Brink Standalone Dedicated Server on a single machine?
Yes. The Brink Standalone Dedicated Server comes with several pre-made bat files that automatically define different ports for each instance. It’s also possible for you to set your own, custom ports.
In terms of available game options, how customizable will the Brink Standalone Dedicated Server be?^
The Brink Standalone Dedicated Server includes several different game configuration files covering all of the regular game modes, including campaign, stopwatch, objective, and co-op challenges. In addition, there are a variety of server-side commands available that allow you to further customize your server, including team sizes, time limits and overtime, warm-up rules, friendly fire, voice chat, availability of Command Post buffs, rank restrictions, number of bots, and password.
I represent a Game Server Provider. How can my company offer servers for Brink?
Easy! Once the Standalone Dedicated Server is available on Steam, you’ll be able to start getting Brink game servers up for your customers. We’re currently aiming to have the server files available before release so you’ll be all set when the game comes out.

Koop mijn games op Zavvi meestal, 99% van de keren aangekomen. En die 1% hebben ze me direct een ander exemplaar verzonden. Is dezelfde als Thehut.
Hoe kunnen ze het zo laag verkopen? Lage kosten, tussenpartijen uitschakelen, niet werken met stock, ... Veel redenen. Waarom kost een PC game soms 35 € bij de Mediamarkt bijvoorbeeld en 50 € bij de Game-Mania? Allemaal een kwestie van winstmarge en kosten lijkt me.

Heyho, a few ESL players, Admins, Fly and myself had the chance to play Brink in Frankfurt at the Bethesda HQ.
We could gather a lot of new impressions and use the chance to ask the devs tons of questions (badman was there as well).
We could play "only" the finished XBOX360 Version but this opportunity was used to ask Steve tons of PC Version questions.
Let me summarize the most important aspects:
The game feels really finished and polished. After playing the game we can be sure that this wasnt a beta version. Besides a few hotfixes there wont be any major updates after the release. No significant bugs, clipping mistakes or else.
The maps reminded me a lot of Enemy Territory (a few times I had the thought "wow, goldrush? oasis? awesome!). The maps seem very well thought through and structed with love to the detail. There was a lot of change after the latest MP FPS and bad maps.
By the way Steve told me that they hired the guy from de_dust2 and to be honest, you can really feel it! The maps are 100% designed for multiplayer.
The class balance are awesome as well! Our favourite was the heavy medic, the fat guy with the minigun. I think that every class has its counter but we were too unpractised to really play our characters to the max. a heavy grouped with a medic is really a tough challenge! The possible counter would have been: Light class, stun nade, slide in. The heavy and medic would have been dead. If you are pro enough!
However: We are all PC gamers and most of us never touched a 360 Gamepad. What brings me to my next point: The nades seem relatively harmless. It seems that they really have to be on point to do some serious damage which was confirmed by Steve later on. You werent really motived to "Ingi-Nade"(? never played ET no idea what that means) like in ET.
Engineers turrets are relatively harmless compared to Quake Wars. They are a neat buff but have to be placed very good and are only effective if the enemy runs on the same level. The turrets DO have an AOE field but they turn relatively slow compared to the running speed of the enemy. It takes some time to destroy a turret but with a combo of nades + weapon its killed relatively quickly. It really depends on the perfect placement!
In my opinion there was no rendom recoil. The gun I used as heavy remained in a steady spray pattern. The secondary, light weapon is really useful but not necessary. The ones who thought the pistols in Quake Wars were too weak can be relieved!
Concerning competitive gameplay:
Steve didnt had any infos on SDK and promod. However he said that they would love to see if Brink was played as it is. You can lock all every Perk or set a certain level for all the players on the server. What perks on what level can be used in the leagues will be determined by US!
Hitsounds? No. However you can see the health bar of the enemy as soon as you hit them (same with turrets). Nothing important for me.
In my opinion weapons were well balanced.
A few things that Steve told me:
We made fun about the current server browsers in other games. Steve promised me that the PC Version will have a proper server browser. The guy who wrote the server browser for Quake Wars, made it in Brink as well!
There are no cash shop items or cash shops planned. DLCs arent planned shortly after the release.
Summarized: Brink will be a really amazing game, however I am slightly sceptical about the community.. The PR is trying hard but compared to HomeFront it isnt getting enough attention.
Brink wont attract fanboys that wont be playing this game for a few weeks and then drop it for another game. The maps are amazing but need a lot of practise and tactical gameplay. Playing solo like in CoD and CS will be immediatly punished by Brink. Of course there will be a amazing frag situations but the buffing and teamplay is like in ET the core aspect of the game.
All we can do right now is wait and if the game will be accepted by the community. My prediction for the release is: A rather small but highly active community. If the game will be as expected after this day, a lot more competitive teams will join.
E-Sports potential is 100% there but Brink needs to be promoted and pushed! I am sure that ESL will support this game with tons of cups, leagues and prize money.
With Brink you might receive one of the last indipendent creative shooter.
Peace.
