Brink

I think the real test and deal breaker here for me is this; 1. Are there dedicated ZA servers for Multiplayer? 2. How big are the maps?

Yes there will be dedi servers in SA at some point. I have pre-ordered 2 servers from gameservers.com while i wait for local availability. The cool thing is that if you are playing a single player game and when starting the game you choose public game, your server can be joined by other people and drop in and take place of one of the bots. It works quite well and a mate and i have tested this. Im not sure if the server lists on the master server list but i will try comfirm this. A 4meg line can handle around 8 - 10 people from what I have read up on bandwidth requirements.

The levels are quite large yes, and pretty complex with lots of nooks and sneaky places. The level design is great i think and it really creates some nice firefights.

IS and WAGE will both have servers. Not sure when btu soon from what i understand.
There is already one server up but not sure who.

Knaterkraker I've got a quick question for you

How big is that Brink Steam download and is it possible to download it from one computer and then transfer it to another one ? I've got DSL at work but only Vodacom 3G at Home

Sorry that was 2 questions

 

[Heckers]

Its 5.4 gigs to download.
And yes you should be able to download on one machine and then just copy from the one steam folder to the steam folder on another machine.

EDIT: Got a reply from gameservers.com about them offering services here

Hi [Omitted]

We currently do not have this game available at this location, we are looking to expand our range here but do not have an exact ETA I am afraid.

Kind Regards,

On the plus side, Mweb's and IS's servers are up and running again.
