spring up speed up
The games I played online were basically the same except with people that were, somehow, even worse than the bots.
Voice acting is fine and I like single player games. If this was good enough that the people I liked to play with online had it I'd play more online, but really, co-op is about as much as I want to do with this. I'll play TF2 if I want to play a full online team based shooter.
The game is really growing on me. Especially after playing several rounds with real people who know what they are doing. Stop playing with bots and play with real people.

Yeah, it keeps growing on me, too. I prefer it to TF2, but I guess that isn't saying a lot for me.
I never got into TF2 in the first place.
Liked Shadowrun, Like this game. I'm just weird like that I guess.

Free DLC!We have been working on updates for Brink to address the lag issue that some people have reported they were experiencing.
We have made a configuration change for 360 users (which will be available to the PS3, once PSN is up) that alters the number of human players when matchmaking for "Campaign" and most 'Freeplay' modes to eight total human players. This new configuration will allow those connecting to and hosting matches (particularly those with lower upstream bandwidth) to more reliably find and connect to quality hosts via the match-making process – resulting in less lag and more fun. This change is being rolled out today and will be available worldwide.
For players who haven't been experiencing lag, we'll still support 8 vs 8 on all maps via a new 'Big Teams' configuration in Freeplay, and through custom settings in Private matches. There is no download required for this update and it will be available automatically the next time you log in to play Brink and launch either campaign or standard Freeplay matches. This should allow players new to the Ark as well as veterans to find quality matches suitable to their preferred play style.
We are also releasing an incremental update for PC players via Steam that addresses AI, GPU, and server issues. See the full release notes for more information. Many of these fixes are being included in the full update for the 360 and PS3 versions.
We would like to thank you for supporting Brink and for your continued feedback. To show our appreciation for your support of Brink, we will be making the first DLC for Brink available for free when it is released. This DLC is planned for June and will offer additional maps and new content for players. We'll continue to provide announcements about the next title update, as well as the first DLC release as that information becomes available.

Finally got it in the mail today, played through all the challenges solo and I'm loving it so far.
Time to hop online.

This is an Enemy Territory game. It's meant to be played multiplayer by definition.
The first ET game was online multiplayer with no other options. Quake Wars added shitty bots. This game kept the same shitty bots and added shitty cut-scenes. But it's still an online multiplayer game.
Online runs great for me so far, even with my weak wi-fi Internet connection. I was playing 5 vs. 5 competitive mode and it was lag-free. Can't wait to unlock more stuff. I think I will just stick to playing Medic for now until I learn the maps better.
Great game so far!

I'm not saying you were wrong, but it's still funny you made that comment having never played the game before.
