Brink

According to Bethesda, the first DLC for multiplayer shooter Brink has a release window. "Agents of Change" will be available for download in early July for the PC, 360 and PS3. Here's the real news: It will be free on Steam for the first two weeks, says Bethesda.

"Agents of Change" is a pretty massive update to game, upping the level cap, adding new maps, new abilities and more. There's a full description of everything new under the "Read More" tag.

New Maps

  • Founders’ Tower – The revolution finally reaches the island’s iconic spire and takes the battle for the Ark to dizzying heights.
  • Labs – Venture into the depths of the Ark’s original research and development laboratories, a submerged high-tech facility so far untouched by the civil war.

New Player Abilities

  • UAV – This stealthy and lethal device allows Operatives to automatically mark nearby enemies on their radar. For more explosive fun, they can even take direct control of the UAV and detonate it near unsuspecting foes.
  • Napalm Grenade – Soldiers can use this new grenade to cover an area in a sea of deadly flames.
  • Pyro Mine – Engineers can plant these mines and leave enemies in the epicenter of a massive napalm explosion.
  • Field Regen Unit – Medics can deploy these units to increase the health regeneration of any nearby teammates.
  • Tactical Scanner – This universal ability allows players to reveal the active buffs of their opponents, allowing them to pick off enemies more strategically.

New Weapon Attachments

  • Bayonets – Gain the edge in melee combat and cause extra damage with these deadly blades.
  • Weapon Shields – Take cover from enemy fire and prevent headshot bonus damage behind riot-style shields.

    Did this even release. Because I have not seen it and if I missed the free download Im going to be pissed e I paid 60 bucks for this game and have had to wait this long for it to hopefully be better. Make a lobby so I can at least play with the 10 people psn might have because the game is boring when im always fighting bots.

    Brink was actually pretty enjoyable for me. I move around alot so I don't have xbox live. so games that imitate the multiplayer experience the way Brink does is a pleasant surprise. I know it has a couple problems but it has an amazing look and feel. So visceral and the steam punk style of the game. Sure it can't compare to the other heavy hitter's in the FPS genre. But personally I think it's holding it's own as a very solid and enjoyable FPS.

    They need to remove command post in the game because they literally don't do nothing for you. Yes I know they give you health and pip boost but they need to just remove the health boost and give 4 pip boost as default. All they do is make your AI teammates waste time on them and not help you complete the actual main objective. And they need to switch attacking and defending roles in every map because its so annoying defending a point for 11 minutes and than the other team gets it in the last 60 seconds than you have to defend for another 8. Its to long and boring. You need to switch it up so you can spice it up. Spending more than 8 minutes on the same objective isn't very fun. They need to add a party system at the menu. They need to add the ability to access your skills, body weight and weapons in between matches without having to back out to the main menu. Also they need to get rid of most of the guns and than fine tune the left over ones so they are different and actually effective. I love the parkour. I love the style. I love team based combat. But they just need to work out a lot of problems. And still throw in all of those classic team slayer/deathmatch types just to take a break from the heavily focused objective play. You can still player very team based in just a team deathmatch style game. At its core it has good intentions they just didn't work them out very well. And when they do it will be a really good game.

    i hate it when game companies try do something new with multiplayer, then gamers talk a lot of crap because it doesn't have any of the classic modes. sometimes i get tired of playing the same type of multiplayer games. capture the flag, free for all, team deathmatch. i love brink because it does something different because. it has those multiplayer types woven into the the story. so quit complaining about no team deathmatch. if you don't like the game, don't play it. they are plenty of fps on the market with the exact type of multiplayer types with variation. so go play one of those.

    Here's an idea. How about a normal Team Deathmatch maybe then I'll start playing again.
