Just chanced upon an old news post from the Brink site. This is for anyone who has the time, cash and interest in self customising a Nerf gun into a Gerund.

I imagine it'd be quite rewarding and the end result does look great - but like I say, not cheap or quick.

Nevertheless, a bit of fun.

Maybe due to finding the above, but I jumped onto Brink again yesterday and just can't stop now. Two days solid...

The numpty-factor online is still there but less disturbing as I'm having fun going through as a specific class. Currently Medic and Operative whilst building those up to their maximum potential.

The Medic class is a lot easier than the game forum users suggest (or I recall) but now that I'm older and wiser  :laugh: I'm finding better weapons combinations for each of these, plus having fun with new abilities previously ignored.

Had a few solid victories on Versus - notably stopping the Resistance from even blowing their way into the prison. I just went to the left hand MG position above the gate, then when the R-boys planted their charge, jumped down and disrmed it and held my ground until the timer ran out. It was close for a while there with only me there, ducking out and lobbing various grenades and letting off bursts of gunfire while peeking out from cover - stopped 'em though  :)

Still can't do that missile mission as Security on Versus though - I can set up a solid defense line but then I get no Operatives turning up to be defended... >:((

Ahh well, perseverence is probably a virtue.

MP is either a complete chaos or you have some cracks running about doing things so quickly you don't even know what's going on by the time the game is over. Quite a funny game, though  :)

Yeah, that's the downside to PC games I suppose  :) Still funny on consoles though when they run off and get lost because they only just bought the game - still, I was like that for the first week  :laugh:

I don't suppose anyone here has played this on PS3...Fiach maybe?

I managed to get that stop the missile lauch mission a few days ago and have been clearing up on the remaining trophies. Not that I'm a trophy nut, I just hate loose ends.

I have just one trophy left to get now and that is proving durn difficult due to the idiot AI - spot and mark a mine as an operative, then have an engineer disarm it. There are various methods around, but maybe the patch has nixed these as I don't seem able to get it done.

So back to my question, anyone played this on PS3 fancy meeting up to 'assist'? No problems if not, though I'd kick myself if I didn't ask nd it was that simple.

All sorted now, finally got an engineer to do the deed instead of dashing off and building an MG-nest in some random spot  ^-^

It was frustrating though - I was even purposefully standing on the mines I'd spotted (they only blow when you step off them again), so that the engineer would get a side mission to come and rescue me...like hell he did.
