Brink has faced an uphill battle since release. Regardless of how you feel about its merits as a game, online play — a major attraction for a shooter like Brink — has faced serious issues with lag. A patch was released last month to fix them and another is on the way that will further address those problems, improve bot AI, and tweak weapon balance. As a gift to players, Bethesda has announced that the first downloadable content pack will be made available for free to players for a limited time.
The Agents of Change DLC had been planned for release this month but is now expected to be out in early July. For its first two weeks of availability, it’ll be completely free on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Steam. Anyone who downloads it during that period will have free access to it forever; after that period, those who want to download it will have to pay.
Included in the DLC are two new maps, new player abilities (including napalm grenades and pyro mines), new weapon attachments, and new outfits.
