Brink's new update

   Finally some new info on Brink. This is the PC update out now. PS3 and Xbox will be out along side the release of the DLC at the beginning of July. Heres what the PC update was. Sure there will be some minor difs but the PS3 and Xbox one should be about the same.

New Brink PC Update Brings End Game Chat and Lots MoreA brand-new update is now available for the PC version of Brink, 
containing a huge stack of improvements and fixes. End game chat, a new 
Stopwatch results screen, VoIP sliders, a fix for invisible players, 
networking optimizations, and a massive amount of weapon tweaks are all 
among the things you'll be getting in this one, and we've assembled the 
complete changelog for your perusal below. All you need to do to get the
 update is sign into Steam.
For the dedicated server admins among you, there's a new server 
available, too, and it's freshly optimized to cut the filesize down to a
 third. If you haven't already, we recommend updating your server as 
soon as possible - as before, players with the new update will not be 
able to connect to servers running the old version of Brink.
With all that out of the way, here's the full changelog for this update:

Brink Weapon Tweaks Detailed
		Alongside today's game update, the PC version of Brink also 
received a big bundle of weapon tweaks put together by our balancing 
council. Among other things, heavy weapons and grenade launchers are 
getting a boost, while SMGs are dialled back a bit. Very nearly 
everything else gets tickled with the balancing stick, as well, so 
there's literally something for everyone.
We are still working to bring these tweaks over to the Xbox 360 and 
PlayStation 3 versions of Brink and will have more news on that soon.
Keep reading for the full list of adjustments.
