Former competitive W:ET player here (played in nationcup/eurocup), it was the one and only FPS I loved to play, sadly the game died…
If I knew such a game was being made I would have suscribed at the first second to get a key and contribute to its development. I just discovered Dirty Bomb last night, and I’m dying to grab a key… (I even created a twitter account to follow it!)
Competitive player of ET here to.

If you’re expecting for this one to be about the same, forget it. Loads of ET players were expecting this to be somewhat the same and rushed to this game, but be warned, the gameplay is nothing similar to ET.
Speed is the major diference, especially when you fight agains’t “lighter” mercs with high mobility.
The game is adictive tough.
Even if I wished the gameplay to be the same as ET, I know those expectations won’t be fullfilled… but I’m looking for a game as close to it as possible (I’m currently playing TF2 - casually). And I guess a game developed by Splash Damage has a good chance to have the most similitudes ; from what I saw, you can revive people, I can’t wait to spam my “I need a medic” bind 
Anyway, still need a key lol.
Tried to get the ones from the twitter feed this sunday with a 12s/17s/14s delay on 3 tries, some people are still faster than me. Wondering if there are bots grabbing the keys or if it’s just due to the twitter refresh rate…

There are tons of people trying to nab those keys, so no matter how fast you are, chances are that somebody else was at least as fast. 
What I can say is that Dirty Bomb is the first game that is giving me the same feeling as when I discovered ET back in the days. With that I don’t mean that it feels like the same game, but rather something new which I didn’t really expect to like that much, but then I gradually got completely hooked to it.
I think it’s actually a much better designed game than ET. The movement feels awesome even without Q3 physics, and very well thought through (better than ET IMO). The shooting is intense, and provides the constant flow of actions which addicted me so much to ET back then. I particularly like the fast classes with SMGs, and that they can hold their own even in duels against the pure fragging classes. It doesn’t have a bunch of crap I actually didn’t like about ET, like proning, the massive aim kick, and more.
It remains to be seen how it holds up in competitive play (which I won’t be able to partake in for now, due to lack of time), but I’m pretty optimistic so far.
Yeah i was also a long time ET and RTCW Player. When i saw Tosspot was involved into this project i knew i need to take a closer look. And what should i say, i already love it.
I think this comes very close to the old ET feeling, cause of teh classes and mostly the objectives. Escort tanks, repair+destroy things, steal documents and stuff. Also the overall look and movement/aiming is great i think.
It has that nice teamwork which only ET and RTCW had.
[left]A lot of Wolf:ET (mainly etpro) for me.
I really loved Wolf:ET. Excellent gameplay, good balance between classes, all players at the same level (no advantage) at the beginning of each match, different map style (some opened for 12v12, some closed for 3v3), and very good players community that create and share there own server (i had some servers for my clan) … and so many happy memories on this game.
When i have discover this game yesterday, i buy the starter pack immediatly … i search a Wolf:ET similar game since a long time now !
No ET:QW, i didn’t like it because i din’t find in this game the good points of Wolf:ET.[/left]
I played RTCW a lot and moved to ET when everyone else did. Compared to the polished cut-throat simplicity of RTCW, I didn’t much like the spammy nature of ET, with its ammo stations and goddam mines. That was really quite a long time ago… I’m 34 now and my skill level has dropped considerably.
8 yers ET dooh now i have Dirty Bomb but i cant play oh well back to ET then untill game will fix
You know you’re an ETplayer when
-you run from defibs in DB, because they make the panzerfaust sound
-you win EVERY freaking pistol round in CSgo xD
Former RCTW, then Wolfenstein:ET, ET:Quake Wars, and even Brink player here.
I loved each of these games in their own way, although usually each one makes me miss the previous. A natural nostalgia process I suppose…
Fan of SD work nonetheless. I had my best FPS gaming moments on WolfET and ETQW.
Hello all! I play as Chilled Texan in Dirty Bomb. I’m also a former RTCW and W:ET player. I went by Bull and Pistolero while playing for Triple Zilch and Oh Face. I started playing DB on Saturday, and it looks like this game will finally fill that Wolf void.
