So it's similar to BC2 at launch then?

Not sure, never played BC2 at launch... :p

But let's see ... can't join servers, keep getting a time-out. Single player is ... just TERIBAD. AI doesn't help at all ... graphics are super choppy even on lowest settings. Maybe I am just tired but this game should have been delayed to fix these problems.

Is this PC or console? I can imagine there'd be net issues on consoles because of P2P.

For those of you with ATI cards, there's apparently an issue with performance in Brink which the new Catalyst 11.5a supposedly fixes. If you're considering updating, here's my experience:

I just updated due to the Brink performance increase supposedly in 11.5a. Big mistake. Overdrive is completely broken. You turn it on and you'll be experiencing epilepsy soon after, especially if you scroll a lot. Oh and, this is besides the fact that updating immediately caused my system to BSOD, and upon a restart my display driver appeared to have disappeared... Brink better be worth it.

This is a known issue that ATI is looking into... hopefully we get a hotfix for this.

Ouch. Can't say I'm surprised, though.

Ouch indeed, have had some people really hyped on my twitter, so I assumed this was looking great. I personally haven't been following it.

I'm enjoying it as well. Maxed out graphics and it runs fine, the gun handling took a bit to get used to though. I did some challenges, which were easy enough and unlocked every weapon and the big body type within 2 hours.

Also I created my own single player game, made it open to anyone, and within minutes people were joining. It works just fine and was quite fun.

my initial impressions are it's a fun game. but it needs work still. random FPS drops. reeks of console port everywhere. dumbest AI in years... server time outs. and isn't this game opengl? i had to reinstall directx9 to get my sound working... it's fun. but needs work. they iron the bugs out this game will be awesome.

maybe they should've used the unreal engine instead of a modified id one. I remember quake 4 on the pc sucked, sucked even on newer hardware. I think they should get rid of multi platform games, because only the console version's get the best optimization, the pc releases are ALWAYS an after thought. "we'll patch it later", just wait for it to sell loads on the console, release some rip off DLC and then we will release one crappy patch for the pc scum, I mean players.

At least that's how I think the devs treat us pc games when it comes to multi platform games. Sick of crappy releases. I'm sure there's a list of console ports somewhere and it's growing...day, by day. I wouldn't mind if they didn't make it so obvious a game was / is a port, like bc2 you see console icons come up sometimes when you use vehicles and there was some other game that even had the controller button pics left in that came up on screen while playing on the pc.

You know you're in for some bad gaming when you find out all you can do is adjust the brightness.....

I wouldnt read the joystiq review apparently the reviewer has spent as little as a couple of hours on the game, and not completed any of the campaigns.

So far ....

IncGamers - 8.8/10

GamingNexus - B+

CVG - 8/10

EuroGamer - 8/10

VideoGamer - 8/10

Destructoid - 7.5/10

1Up - D

IGN - 6/10

Joystiq - 2/5

Seems to be getting not bad scores so I,ll still be picking this up :)

I've no interest in console reviews only PC MP.

Click the download button and scroll to the bottom of the page. Then whack the key into Steam.

Thanks but there is no key on that page.

A. Download

B. Install

then

"If you do not use our Game Manager you will need to:"

And thats it i cant see any key anywhere in my account or the download page?
