BRINKish.eu - Brink Game & News Community

One of the better players around, Team Dignitas Estonian, Anderson have written a very nice Brink guide over at Intel.com that could prove very useful to many, both hardcore- and pub-players.

Here’s a snippet..

Console commands & miscellaneous tweaks
To my surprise, many of the console commands that worked in ET: Quake Wars have been disabled in Brink. This helps level the competitive playing field, but restricts players who would like to fine-tune their setup. Only a handful of commands are available, besides turning the main options down, that will have any significant impact on the picture quality/frames per second. Players with low end hardware should definitely play on a 640x480 resolution to secure a reasonable FPS gain. The id Tech 4 engine might be 7 years old, but having been heavily modified it does still require a decent PC to run smoothly. As always, make sure you have the latest video card drivers if you want to get the best out of Brink.

• Console can be reached with CTRL+ALT+CONSOLE BUTTON, use com_allowconsole “1” for faster access 
• The config files are located at C:\ProgramFiles\Steam\userdata\YOURSTEAMID\22350\local\base and to include all the binds in the file use “writeconfig autoexec” in console 
• Disabling the intro videos can be done in Brink’s steam launch options: add the line +set com_bootLogo “0”
• Windowed mode can be achieved by com_useFastVidRestart “1”
• ui_fov “102”, I recommend using a fov between 87 and 103
• r_displayrefresh “” to set your monitor refresh rate
• ui_showgun “0” to remove gun model, this is only favourable when playing with a low spread weapon like the SMG’s because the iron-sight vanishes 
• g_friendlyTextColor “0 1 0 1” (RGB) changes teammates health bar colour, the green I am using is much more eye-catching
• seta s_volumeSpeech_db “-60” removes ambient noises
• seta g_decals “0” removes bullet holes etc
• seta g_enemyColor “1 0 0 1” highlights opponents on minimap
• seta g_enemyTextColor “1 0 0 1” highlights opponents on minimap
• seta image_anisotropy “0”
• seta image_filter “GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST”
• seta r_offsetfactor “999”
• seta r_offsetunits “2000”
• seta r_shadows “0”
• seta vt_lodbias “4” This command will reset to “2” every time you start Brink
• seta com_machinespec “0”
