Hello people

(SNL!ETplayer) #1

Hi lads and gals,
I’m new to this thing but not to the game, as I’ve been following it in the social media for a while. I stumbled upon this forums and it seems an appropriate place to get some info about Dirty Bomb :slight_smile: U have some questions, and it would be great if someone with access to the beta could answer them (without breaking the NDA, ofc)

  1. How much does it feel like ET? Are there long spawn times, is there anything like Command Posts which modifies them?
  2. Does your aim go to hell once you start eating lead?
  3. Are the maps designed like ET maps, with focus points of carnage (think Oasis tunnels & Lower + Upper Grotto)?
  4. Is the game adjustable by console?
  5. Are there 1-hit kill weapons? (I mean 2 body shot sniper rifles or something)
  6. Do you get angry if your teammates are clueless and run around with disregard to the objective? ;p
  7. Thanks in advance, v586!

PS: how can I change my alias?

I think the NDA basically allows us to advise if we are or are not yet playing the game, so if you look through the announcements etc you might find some information that could be useful. But in respect to your questions, yes I am part of the beta :wink:

  1. Yes. :wink:

But seriously any ET vets wanna chime in?

ET combat style, yes it’s similar- less medic dominance though. There’s a lot of differences really, but for the most part it should feel familiar to a SD vet. Best thing to note is that DB will have much more prolonged development support and will continuously evolve the game like modders did for ET. I wouldn’t doubt it if the game changes a lot during OBT, and most likely for the better. Ranked MM is a big plus too.

I played ET(playing) since the demo back in 2003, bfore that I was a dedicated Quake player. I would describe Dirty Bomb as a modern ET with Quakespeed.
