Brink gets clan support

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

For all three versions.

Multiplayer-focused first-person shooter Brink now supports clans.

Developer Splash Damage has launched the Clans and Tournaments beta site, which adds the following functionality:

Create your own Brink clan, allowing you to manage everything from your name and logo to recruitment status, and your members.
If running your own clan isn't your thing, join an existing squad that's currently recruiting.
Fight for position on Brink's Global Clan Ladder by challenging other clans and defeating them in exciting clan matches.
Enter your clan into tournaments with unique rule sets and map rotations.

Earlier this month Splash Damage posted a walkthrough of the new features on its blog, but advised checking out the Brink Clans and Tournaments beta site to get started. You need an account to see your stats and access all the features.

I know this is a neg-worthy post, but I never understood the undisguised loathing that Brink engendered. Sure, it was a bit broken, the offline experience was painful, but when there was a full server the game really soared.

I had some cracking times. Would really like to see a sequel (with a higher degree of polish, of course).

I wonder if all them useless bots will have clan matches with one another? I can't imagine there are many actual players left...

@springchicken- the game was fun (if flawed) when it worked, but it didn't work. It was a laggy, horrible, broken mess

Wasn't there already a news story about this a few weeks ago, where we all made the "Hahaha, all 4 people still playing this turd can be in the same clan!"? Have Splash Damage forgotten to cancel their standing order to EG Towers?

I just had a quick look see at the clan page (360) and it's beyond sad, i'm sorry SD but your desperately clutching at straws here. Every problem that dogged Brink was talked and worried about for years before release. On your forums!

I guess it really does pay to listen too your customers eh!

There isn't enough people playing Brink to make a single clan never mind a league.

Brink doesn't need clan support, it's dead and deservedly so.

If anything, Brink needs LAN support, but I guess that's below Splash Damage nowadays.

I played Brink a couple of months after release and the servers were all but dead. And now, five months later still, it gets clan support? I can't imagine someone still playing it.

Didn't this game lose like 90% of its user base over a two week period?

@Springchicken - It was a great game when it worked, but to be honest, for weeks (or more), it just didn't work. I couldn't play any games with more than a handful of friends without it being a completely unplayable mess.
We're not even talking just a bit of lag, but so bad that you could not navigate around the map at times, without constantly rubber banding back to walking against walls. It was a complete and utter mess and took them far too long to resolve. A full server in those days was something you didn't want.
A real shame too, as it was my favourite game at EG Expo 2010 and I had been looking forward to it

@psychokitten Were those problems you're describing on consoles? I remember hearing how awful it was on 360 and PS3; PC wasn't perfect but at least they didn't have to patch out 16-player matches.

@Springchicken Yeah it was on 360. Completely unplayable once you got more than say 4 or 5 other people in a game
