I like the objective portion of the game but dislike the AI all together, even my own AI team. Some of the mechanics are poor but tolerable and enough to work with. I appreciate they came out with the free DLC for two weeks because it's not worth the Microsoft Points in my opinion and yes they did need to offer more incentive for people to want to come back to the game due to the horrible start it had from release. Almost 100% completed, so I guess you can say I found it completely playable. :D

I realize one thing many people tend to dislike about the game I do not have much experience with. The only time I have had to deal with the A.I. was for the stupid challenges so I could unlock everything one can by playing them. Other than that, I have not touched the campaign, and it has been all online for me, and only one match we had to play with bots. Every other match I have played has been all humans. I imagine that is helping out tremendously with me finding the game to be decent.

So downloaded and played a bit during the free weekend. Enjoyed it somewhat did not like how the action played through my speakers and the voices in my headphones I want everything through my headphones and couldn't seem to find the option for that. I am second guessing not getting it for $20 at quakecon but right now at $25 on steam I think I can pass knowing how much I'm dropping on Skyrim and SWTOR CEs.

Can this game be played by 2 people in Co-Op or do you need other people? (essentially needing the MP modes to have a community which apparently they do not).

I ask as my fiancee just got her PS3, and we're enjoying playing co-op experiences (Dead Island just now). We played Borderlands splitscreen co-op and loved it, is this similar at all? I can get two copies of Brink SE for ?15.

Has Brink been updated at all since release? There is a free-to-play weekend going on now on Steam, but I don't even know if it's worth trying. Is anyone here still playing it?

Yes, it has. I'm pretty sure they just updated it, hence the free weekend. I bought it last free weekend and I'll admit I didn't play it much afterwards due to the deserted playerbase, but it was extremely fun while it lasted.

I plan on playing it with a few people this weekend before it dies off again (who knows, maybe it won't this time considering how cheap it is).

I checked last night, it's full of bots.

So what was the free dlc we were supposed to get? Is it the Agents of Change thing or what?

It was, for two weeks when it was released. Really nice maps.

The free DLC was for anyone who purchased the game or already owned it for a about two weeks after the last free weekend. Now it must be purchased either separately or in the $6.25 bundle.

Edit: Two weeks, vf- beat me to the punch.

Well I pre ordered Brink and when it was supposed to be free it said I have it, but now it doesn't. Not that I really care, I don't see myself playing Brink anymore now that BF3 is out.

According to Steam I played it for 13 hours which is longer than most single player games these days so I guess I got my monies worth.

      What about HL3?

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
