looking really sweet, I really hope the movement system is smooth though, and hitboxes reflect the animations that's my biggest worry. 
 
also i'm not sure if this is in the game or not, but it seems like squads and focused objectives would add to the flow of the game.

At least this doesn't show the stupid Kane & Lynch style hitmarkers/xp notifications.

How is this game supposed to revolutionize the genre? Just looks like any other class-base shooter. A real good one though.

Hey, that looked pretty cool!  I've been pretty cold on this game so far, but I liked what I saw in that trailer.
 
Also, it's nice to see that the Saboteur/Spy class will have to actually earn it's disguise.

Someone explain to me how disguise yourself works if no one looks like a team?  I mean with all the customization, I just don't get it.

Brink not only looks good, but it looks bitchin'. A multiplayer beta would be nice.

Yeah, I think the first person animations look fantastic, but whenever you see a 3rd person view/other characters move, they seem to move pretty stiff. I thought all the model's right arms were sticking out rather oddly to hold their guns.
 
@Meowshi:

From what I could tell from the trailer, it just seem that teams are designated by color, red/blue I think. Unless you're playing on an organized team, I doubt you'll remember every player's custom character on your team, so you'll probably just be identifying people by their colors anyways.

I kind of wish they'd let you dress up AS a woman if you can't PLAY as one, but that's Bethesda for you.

Looks interesting though so far fancying the engineer unless they make the medic more violent with the medical shot (you do have to get it through whatever armor they have on so might as well just go all stabby like Mileena from the new MK x-ray mode)

It's a lot like TF2 in classes/objectives, but in a good way. The only thing is the levels look very arena like which I don't really like.

looks like it plays just about the same as TF2.  Wouldn't mind checking it out though to see how good the controls are.

So... TF2, but every player is the Scout?
 
I'm liking the aesthetic and parkour influence. But I see no really compelling reason to pick it up...

voice acting sucks, but this game actually looks promising. Like the giantbomb gang have pointed out several times, the problem with MMOs is that once you create your own avatar there' is little to do. The fanciful customization makes the actual games take backseat. If Brink can offer and interesting customization system, but provide almost instant action and satisfying shooting then it may have a shelf life. Otherwise it will go the way of killing floor.

I'm hoping there is a lot of diversity in the classes: those menus with all the customization looked promising if it means that each item gives its own bonuses/malus.

it seems like the main attractions to this game is that its parkour and shooting. and a lot of customization. 
for those who say its like tf2, you are sort of correct. its not like tf was the only class game ever. and also you choose the body types of your character, which limits the types of jobs it can do. they havent done a great job of explaining exactly what this game is all about so im gonna wait for more vids.  looks promising though

@BitterAlmond: They were going for that early on but they realized if they did then people would pick only the stuff that gave them good boosts, so you would have to wear a hockey mask you didn't want for +2 armor.So instead everything is for looks, so that the player can pick the way they want to look like not what the game is forcing them to be.Which is one of BRINK's goals customization.

@mewarmo990: Well you can pick your own body types.Which is why TF2 has more classes because in BRINK classes serve more of a purpose IE:The heavy in TF2 is simply any player that picks the heavy body type in BRINK.So you could be Huge medic guy with a machine gun running around patching up your team mates.The thing the trailer doesn't show is the numerous abilities you can unlock for your individual character.IE:Reload while sprinting, self destruct, more abilities at one time, play dead, stronger turrets etc.

" I know the marketing guys want to build up hype and recognition before a game is released but I think that peak was reached several months ago and now this marketing stuff just feels labored. Stop throwing the same fucking PR videos in my face and just release the damn game already.  /rant "

When it's ready, Sweep.  I'd rather have Splash Damage take their time to make a truly amazing multiplayer experience rather than be rushed to get the game on shelves. 
 
@Marz: Given that it's Splash Damage making the game, it should seem a LOT like Enemy Territory.

 @Meowshi: Easy, the Security is white, blue, steel, grey clean colors while the Resistance is brown, red, mostly dirty colors.It is easy to tell apart.Plus each faction has special customization options.You can't mistaken them.

@Sayishere: Talking out of your ass much?And TF2...whaaa?The only resemblance  it has to TF2 is the characters even then they are photo realistic instead of the cartoonish shades from TF2.If anything it looks A LOT like Enemy Territory -QUAKE Wars.

I kinda agree with the classes, to an extent.  I'm getting a bit weary of fps with the spy type class... i guess from alot of TF2, for me personally its just a lil' old now.
