Update on Brink DLC, Title Updates, and New Screenshots


Update: To clear up any potential confusion, you will be able to download the Agents of Change DLC pack for free for two weeks after it's released. If you grab it during that time, you'll permanently own the content and are able to re-download it in the future at no charge.

Original story: We're back with new details on Brink DLC and the upcoming title updates for the game.

The game's first DLC, Agents of Change, will be FREE for two weeks on Xbox LIVE, PSN, and Steam! The content is currently in submission at Microsoft and Sony, and we expect it to release in early July. As previously mentioned, the DLC features two all-new environments, five new player abilities, two new outfits, and two new weapon attachments. You can find more details in this post, and be sure to check out the screenshots above.

In tandem with the DLC, the teams at Splash Damage and Bethesda have been hard at work on the next major title update for Brink. The update is highlighted by online optimizations, AI enhancements, and weapon balance tweaks based on player feedback. As noted yesterday, a separate, incremental update is now available on PC, while players of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 version of Brink can expect the full title update alongside the release of Agents of Change.

On behalf of everyone at Bethesda and Splash Damage, we want to thank all of you for your continued support of Brink. We'll be sharing more information as soon as possible.

so we have to buy it after two weeks?

or if you don't pick it up in the two weeks you have to pay for it?

Are they changing the HUD? Or is that just the way it looks on PC? They are also showing amounts on the abilities... i'm confused, time to read!

That suggests yes, anyone that doesnt grab it within the 2 weeks will need to pay for it after that period

Great only free for two weeks (although better then nothing) AND it comes out in "early" July which apparently is part of June?
Posted on 24 June, 2011 - 14:40
what the size of the 2 maps ?
little indoor maps ?

O god this is not going to go over well. They are changing the story and now only making it free for 2 weeks. If you meant free for those who download it within the first two weeks then anyone who downloads after that will have to pay then you better clear it up or prepare for a hate train like you have never seen before.

free for 2 weeks .....
turn it to free to pay !!!!
who gonna pay the DLC if there is no players anymore ? 50 box a half game and now we need to pay again ?
Posted on 24 June, 2011 - 14:42
Looks very good. I love what I'm seeing of the level design, the transparent fire grenade and the weapon shield. Can't wait!
Posted on 24 June, 2011 - 14:43
All I can say is that DLC better come with a huge patch otherwise you wont get anyone purchasing that DLC when the two weeks are up.

-Fixed spawn timers on defense - To avoid full holds etc
-Demos
-First person spec
-Alter some of the choke points on a number of maps so they are playable for competition.
-Changeable cross hair

Long shot request, SDK if your not able to patch the above things in at least give the community the opportunity to do it themselves in a mod.

It isn't that strange though (if it keeps working for people who downloaded it for free), existing customers are getting it for free because of the shoddy launch, new customers won't have suffered through that so they don't get the DLC for free either.

I wonder, is the PC release being held back to wait for the MS/Sony approval so we all get it at the same time? Obviously I'd rather the PC just got it if its ready.

Clarification of "Free for 2 weeks" would be appreciated

Does this apply only to consoles or to consoles and STEAM?
Free for 2 weeks and then you need to pay?
Free for 2 weeks. Any d/l after that (new BRINK players) will require payment?

TIA

That doesn't seem so nice .

FREE DLC is expected to be FREE forever and not for like two weeks. Sorry to say this : Cashing out on the last few folks who are playing this game and doesnt get to update within these times ?

The game really does look amazing, graphicly, on PC doesn't it? Too bad we at 360 got the blur lol.
Posted on 24 June, 2011 - 14:46
