Fair enough
Your assessment of Splash Damage might be correct, I'm pretty sure they bled a shitton of talent after Quake Wars, but when Brink came out Bethkike published absolute garbage gaems like Rogue Warrior and then acquired the companies,

The entire point of Brink was you played the objective and switched classes to fit team composition and the currently active objective, not run around like a faggot playing one single class like it's some generic TDM scenario.

Goon/marxist tactics: say that everything good was never good, while saying that anything shit was good and just not understood at the time.
They repeat this constantly, hoping that it will stick.

NOA did that on purpose to make people stop demanding games that were out of the family "friendly" (brainwash) image that they are trying to force people to believe into.
Learn japanese and only buy imported, or never buy at all and only pirate when available. NOA is an enemy of it's own customers.

Brink gameplay was good enough, it's just that the maps and game modes were complete garbage
>fast, movement based fps (jumping, climbing, sliding, bursting enemies)
>maps are claustrophobic bottlenecks one after anohter that barelly allow the use of the main fucking mechanic of the game
>it uses such brilliantly fitting gamemodes as destroy/repair giant payload bullet sponge, kill/revive smaller payload bullet sponge, 2fort tier ctf
>body types that serve no real purpose other than using heavier weapons, which is fine and all but then you turn into an average person while everyone's flying and sliding around you
>snipers being completely useless due to the extremely close quarters maps
That's just the gameplay anyways, story wise and everything else there's no real excuse. Dirty bomb fixes most of these so is brink but good, which is something

Cant remove bots from matches, even if you fix all of the graphical issues the game has, you cant get into a pvp match with each other without running into bots significantly more than other players

Phantom has always been a joke in the game because the stealth mode makes a buzzing sound anyone who isnt deaf or retarded can find and then shoot him because his stealth only made him blurry. Also, he automatically disabled any deployable so could tell he was around even if you missed all of that
The buff was necessary, but he needs to be spotted close range at least that's what everyone complains about

And while I'm at it, the db team is really good at least judging from what they are doing with this game in particular. The level designers in particular are extremely good at their job, but for some reason the rest of the team does not dare even touch the chink with the laser which is almost mandatory on every team, and the nigger medic that nullifies every other medic's role just by existing(except maybe phoenix)
They are focused on the moba games strategy of making new cheap content (characters that are practically useless and free skins for playing) every month to keep players busy instead of what the game needs the most, maps. Not that they are not making more maps, but they have a handful of them working on that, at best, instead of making it the main focus. And of course, the retard on their youtube videos is the most obnoxious, autistic person they could put on what's most likely potential player's first impression of the game
The game's a mixed bag that gets the tf treatment (without the hats), it's not bad at all but it's handled very poorly
