Bethesda has unleashed another new "Get SMART" trailer for Brink. This one's all about the heads-up display that you'll be gawking at while playing.
It's been noted that Brink is a very HUD-heavy game, so you'll want to know what everything means before jumping in. So, have a watch of this and learn what needs learning!

I love D-Toid, but FUCK videos here! It's bullshit to have a 30-second ad for a 2-3 min clip. I get to the point where I've given up watching anything here then after a while, like a dumbass I let down my guard and click the play button. Even Yahoo catch match you guys for video ad cramming.
I know you guys have to pay the bills, but Jesus there was less advertising in Mac and Me.
Kinda really want it, but no split screen or local co-op in an FPS is a deal breaker for me. Black Ops and Reach both have online split screen and Guest accounts and thats a huge deal in this house.
I'm REALLY looking forward to this game now - I was only lukewarm on it for the longest time but lately it's just been looking and sounding really cool.
