Channel added.

As for server yeah it could be run online since its max 16 players I think but you would do better to find one out on the net thats dedicated for better ping.

When playing here at the store a local one is good for that.

Got Brink up and running finally. 

I just upgraded my graphics card. lol  I guess a few games have come out that I couldn't play on my old one (i.e Crysis 2 and Brink).

I don't know why nVidia couldn't write support for OpenGL 3.1 into Generation 7 cards but I guess it was time for an upgrade.

Does anyone know if this will run on an Nvidia 9800M GTS 1g card? That's what I have on my laptop.

Thanks,

The min requirements state a 8800 GTS so you should be ok.  But the graphics are so low (visually) in my opinion it should be able to run on any card within the last 5 years or so.  I mean for example Halo 1 has the same, if not, better graphics but that is just my opinion.

Poly count on the model etc on brink are ALOT higher then Halo 1 etc so yeah an 8800 is probably the min.

I found Brink available through Amazon.com for $23.  I am thinking about picking it up - am I wasting my money?

Anyone with a comment?

Honestly I do not see us playing it at the mini as people just dont seem to like it.   I would play it but others that have it are not interested in playing it.  You would do better to get Homefront, and or Black Ops.   Everyone that comes to the mini has Homefront, and 95% have black ops.

[Lincoln7]

Cool. Thanks.

Yes definitely get Black Ops and Home Front.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what would make Brink a better game?

[virt]

There's a lot of things that could make Brink better.  I'd like to play regular gametypes like TDM, CTF and others - but I've argued this point before and all I've gotten was that Splash Damage put their own spin on all the regular game types. 

I think Brink is a really good game by its self.  But I also think that it tried too hard to be different.
