Playing on line is a mode I refuse to do, and I reckon Brink is purposely made to 'encourage' that. Brink's singleplayer mode sucks (I want my money back), I hope to HELL id's Rage is NOT the same (I will not pre purchase). Bring on the Duke, I think I'll be safe with that one.

I am very disappointed, never again will I eagerly believe the pre release hype and pre purchase a game (I play FPSs) and prefer single player mode- eg: STALKER, Borderlands, Bioshock, FEAR, Fallouts, FarCry, even Left4Dead, Metro 2033 & CoD BOps, etc- where I have the freedom/choice of where to go or which missions to do.

Bummer, I was really looking forward to this game.

I really like a lot of the things that they did in this game, but agree about some of your complaints.

Stupid bots in a game made for multiplayer is unfortunate but by no means a dealbreaker. The big problem is definitely the lag. On the PC, trying to access the server browser slows down most systems to ~2 fps. Even people who have rigs with ridiculous specs are having trouble getting consistent framerates.

I remember that when Bad Company 2 came out it had a lot of the same problems. It took a couple weeks and three patches to make it work, but once they smoothed out those bumps it became a great experience. Hopefully, Bethesda will get similar patches out the door soon.
