Dirty Bomb

[Scary Profile]

Hello!

Dirty Bomb beta is now available through Steam. Dirty Bomb is upcoming FPS, developed by Splashdamage and by my personal experience, it is the closest thing i've seen to ET so far. Game is similar in many ways (stopwatch, fast paced, dot crosshair), though you can use iron sights there. It will support dedicated servers, it will be FREE to play and developers have stated that this will be a community thriven game (modding etc). Right now, you can sign up for beta: http://dirtybomb.nexon.net/
They promised to give out some beta keys during january.My impression is that DB might offer everything ET communities are searching for in terms of availability, gameplay, modding and so on. Maybe in future, after the release, there will be some et-ish mod with no iron sights or even "DBpro"? The system requirements probably wont be unrealistically high aswell.

Im too lazy to post some videos, I take that as grown men, you all are capable of searching content yourself.
OT:Some of you guys might remember me, I used to play ET for quite some years and good amount of it in PS community. It would be nice to play together once again.

Regards,
buja

Ye, Dirty Boms has been on the horizon for some time already, however recently I haven't seen many news about it. Once I even registered an account on their site... but now if there's beta, surely something is on.

[carebear Profile]

[Death Profile]

Haha carebear,

I've been in beta for like 2 years already or god knows how long this game is in beta xD

I've played quite many games and I'm also generally knowledgeable on the topic of computer games since I follow game magazines and portals. Not to mention that FPS is my favourite genre.

I am playing it a bit at the moment and it reminds me of the ET style gameplay the most. It still has weird bugs and some balance issues so I see that will take some time to fix.
Edit: Now it appears that the Baltic countries are region locked and must play with russians. So there goes my hope for this game.

Hahah, actually looks pretty neat.
Can't wait to try it out when I can be bothered.

[BigOgr Profile]

The main problem is that this game runs only on Windows

[Troyan Profile]

Thats not a problem. Problem is that after "DirtyBomb" you need to use tons of toilet paper to clean yourself up

[Leo_The_God Profile]

It's kinda good... I think it's a good compromise between ET and CS:GO... a modern gameplay style but not so "pro" as CS:GO

[DMG_Kowi Profile]

I've just played my first ever map in Dirty Bomb. Stats: 21-9 (yeah, I rekt). I really liked it. Pace is like ET, maybe little slower. Different characters bring thoughts of TF or LoL. I see there's a competitive matches option embedded in-game - just like in CS:GO. I haven't dig into mechanics yet (it's one play so far), but game looks promising.

[dmg_arg4el Profile]

Had a few aswell. Looks good even if its still beta. It is what Brink should have been. And most important - Free to Play but not Pay to Win.

[DMG_Kowi Profile]

And most importantly, not yet corrupted by $!dor.

Haven't really followed Diry bomb at all and I'm too lazy to find out myself, so I'll ask those who may know better:

Are there any sings of dedicated servers so far? I think it was indicated at some point that dedicated servers may come so there would be better possibilities to build communities like ours.

Also what kind of matchmaking does the game have? Some kind of server list like ET has, or some bullshit automated system like BF:H or WoT has/had?

[DMG_Kowi Profile]

There is Server Browser, where you can find public servers to join, so these are dedics. There is also a competitive mode, just like in CS:GO: 5vs5, you choose maps and you can play with friends or randoms.

[DMG_Kowi Profile]

Ok, after some more time with Dirty Bomb, I'd like to share my (mostly positive) thoughts. Let me enumerate pros and cons I've seen so far:

PROS:
- It's fun
- It has many similarities to ET, which implies many of following pros
- Fast paced game
- ET like fight style (strafing, super-accurate weapons, need to track enemy's head)
- Well designed maps, with many ways, possible backrapes, etc.
- Game focused around objectives
- Every class can plant/defuse/revive, but dedicated classes do it way faster
- Different classes need to cooperate closely
- Many moments that just feel like ET
- You actually run faster with knife (shoutout CS)
- Competitive 5vs5 mode similar to CS:GO - I see potential here
- 12 (so far) different classes/characters
- When map timer goes 0:00, but C4 is ticking on objective, there's overtime - either defenders defuse and win or it blows and attackers go further

CONS (just things that need to be changed):
- Grenade launcher that you can actually spam like 5 rounds one after another... GET THIS NOOB SHIT OUTTA MY FACE (or nerf it strong at least)
- Martyr skill (is this *beep* CoD?)
- Some equipement is overpowered, like health station or minigun (it'll be fixed after beta I guess)
- You get dropped cases for playing. Cases contain loadouts of different rarity (loadouts = some in-game bonuses). It's free to open, so it's not pay-to-win, but someone lucky might actually randomly get some neat stuff and it's impact on game bothers me. I think loadouts spoil game's purity.
- No gamma-jumping Me so sad
- Some character models are too fancy for me. Simplicity pls...
- Headshot sound should be more distinctive

I hope most cons are fixable, it's still beta.

already tried to set up a PS dirty bomb test server. But unfortunately no Linux Support :/

So: great for PS People to meet there, but sadly not on a PS server ... until now ... maybe somebody got a Linux server file?




damn Company Auto SHIFT correct stuff ...

M'kay class...

After 3 evenings with Dirty Bomb here are my thoughs: (some copy-pasted from Kowi ^^ )

+ It's fun
+ It's preety
+ It has many similarities to ET, which implies many of following pros
+ Fast paced game
+ ET like fight style (strafing, super-accurate weapons, need to track enemy's head)
+ Well designed maps, with many ways, possible backrapes, etc.
+ Game focused around objectives
+ Every class can plant/defuse/revive, but dedicated classes do it way faster
+ Different classes need to cooperate closely
+ Many moments that just feel like ET
+ Graphic, not too realistic, not too cartoon style.
+ Game encourages players too play for objective and as a team (You get more xp and rewards).
+ 12 Different classes are made atm, 12 avilable, 2 realeased soon.
+ 12 classes but for the mission You can only take 3, and arm them before it starts. Game implement a bit of tactical/strategy thinking.
+ You can unlock additional classes by in-game virtual currency earned throu exp. So it isn't pay-to-win.
+ I really like the design, graffiti on walls, marking, details etc.
+ Camping spots
+ Some maps are like ET, the one with escord EV is basically like Goldrush.
+ Server Browser, Obj mode, Stopwatch, same like in ET

- Fu*king Steam....
- No crawling
- Except objective and mg's almost none interations with enviroment
- Headshot sound should be more distinctive.
- From one hand so many classes, it's cool, but from other hand it's just chopping already well know classes for smaller pieces. For example only few classes can actually throw granades.
- Balanse. Three Sawbonez our Auras in one place are unbeatable.
- Random game crashes, but that can be me
- Sound and music, not very impressive so far.
- Too less maps, i know its' Beta, but with only 5 it will be boring soon. On official realease should be at least 20.
- Yea, Martyr skill is idiotic.
- No spawn protection
- No teamdemage
- Terrible Manchester accent
- No panza/flamer so far.
- Fu*king Steam....
- Fu*king Steam....


I give Dirty Bomb a solid 7/10. It's Beta, so i hope some of the minuses will gone.

[Smadje Profile]

[DMG_Kowi Profile]
