Ola,
AntOO here, bought the legendary pack as well.
A mid 30 old dutch guy started to game early with some Q3 and UT and later on to the great RTCW.
When ET came slowly moved and fell in love with it, the nights i looked on my clock and realised
there wasnā€™t time to sleep anymore where there allot :tongue:

Played RTCW and ET competitively (Clanbase) in a dutch clan called BB4E.
A little on account of that started also working in the game scene at Lost boys wich later became Guerilla games.
I worked on a few titles but stopped when they went fully console only (killzone 1/2)

I also played Brink and had high hopes for it but the feeling just wasnā€™t there, hope to see Dirty Bomb succeed
and give my point off view and help as much as possible.

Also want to say hi to Warbie and HyperG, get Kamp over here boys :smiley:

Hello :slight_smile:

I bought the legendary pack as well to get access to the game. Seems like the game is coming along nicely so far. Itā€™s very unfortunate that there arenā€™t many people playing though. I do wish you guys would allow more people in.

Anyway, Iā€™ve been playing SD games for a while actually. I used to play Quake Wars a lot, which I think is a very good game. I also played Brink, which I thought was pretty good and innovative in many ways, although I felt the execution of those innovative ideas wasnā€™t quite as good as I would have hoped. Unfortunately nobody plays that game anymore. :frowning:

So, Iā€™m looking forward to seeing how this game pans out. So far it seems pretty sound. And Iā€™m looking forward to seeing you guys around in the game! :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Riho

Hi everyone,

My nameā€™s Antony, iā€™m 22, French, and i just got into the Closed Alpha since yesterday.

I started playing online First Person Shooters with Battlefield 2 around 2005. After that, i traveled a lot between Mw2, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Brink, Battlefield 3 and so on ā€¦

Iā€™m really hoping that with DB I finally get a Competitive game that I can play for few years :wink:

Cya on DB :smiley:

Hi folks,

Finally made the jump to Legendary after a few weeks of watching the dev videos once I got the Veteran pack.

My introduction to computer gaming was on a TRS 80 (raise your hand if youā€™re old enough to know what that is, Googling is cheatingā€¦). Played mainly RTS until I came across Half-Life and I discovered FPS. CS was the first game I got seriously hooked on and I got heavily involved in character modding (made over 150 player models in 5 years before I retired). Played through the entire CoD series up to MW2 at which point I gave up on all the gimmicks. TF2 was my next love and Iā€™ve logged over 2000h and counting.

TF2 also got me interested in games with more interesting art styles than the photo-realism mainstream games all seemed to be going for at the time. That got me into Borderlands and eventually Brink, which in turn introduced me to SDā€™s objective-based teamplay which eventually brought me here.

So as opposed to many here Iā€™ve never played W:ET and only tried the demo of ET:QW while waiting for Brink to come out. Iā€™ve never played competitively either, but Iā€™ve typically been able to rank well above average on the games Iā€™ve played regularly. It should be no surprise that Iā€™m not too interested in the competitive side of DB except as an eventual mean of promoting the game and attracting a larger community. I guess Iā€™ll be one of the voices on the side of the pubers and more casual gamers. Doesnā€™t mean Iā€™m against making DB the next competitive juggernaut, as long as itā€™s not at the expense of the game being fun and attractive for the rest of us.

Welcome to the alpha :smiley:

The problem here is that SD wants DirtyBomb to be played competetively with the same rules/equipment/etc as on public.
If we would get something like a ProMod i would be happy, but like that we will have many discussions.
That also nice, isnĀ“t it? :wink:

More players, itā€™s nice ! Welcome !

Hi everyone,

Redtractor (31) from Poland reporting for duty.
After searching for a decent successor of the greatest RTCW / ET I found DB. After reading a few news about this game I was so intrigued that Iā€™ve bought legendary edition without hesitation. And so far I like it. We just need more players :smiley:

Regards,
Redtractor

Hi, Iā€™m here a little late because I felt burned by Brink but I guess itā€™s impossible to resist the allure of ET after all.

Was fun meeting you on the battlefield last night, welcome!

With at least 2 new NA additions, I think itā€™s time to try to setup a game night this side of the pondā€¦

Lehsyrus here, from NA. Been an avid FPS gamer since I was 8, I am not 20 years old. Going to download the Alpha and get started looking for bugs, this game looks pretty smexy, and thatā€™s coming from a CS player. Canā€™t wait to get started!

After almost half a year of playing DB I think its time to introduce myself to the guys who dont know me :smiley:

Iā€™m Shifty, 25 years old and from Bavaria which is close to Germany.
Some might know me with different nicks:
Yoshimizu, Kleptomane, Chance, Kleppy

I play pc games since 15 or more years, started with Quake 2 and Age of Empires. The first couple of years I just played offline but since Battlefield Vietnam and Counterstrike Source I play online (2004/05). This 2 games were my first real online experience. Also Quake 3 is a part of this, but I didnt play it very often. My first competitive game was CS:S, played some scrims but didnt got flashed and didnt got addicted.

After seeing some promo vids of ETQW, I said, damn it, Iā€™m gonna check this out. On release, I skipped my school classes just to get the game and play it from day 1. I was successful and got the game from day 1, played it till this year but lost from time to time the fun of playing ETQW. But from time to time I get the wish to play the game and thatā€™s why the game never got uninstalled :smiley: Also ETQW is the real first game in which I took part in cups and ladders, wasnt that successful but it was the first step into the scene :wink:
The first game I bought after ETQW was Battlefield Bad Company 2, I liked it but never was eager enough to see the comp scene and get a team. I also tried 2 CoD games but it wasnt that fun. The last game I bought was Battlefield 3. I enjoy it as a pure pub game, just hop on a server, play 2-3 maps and leave it again.
I joined the Alpha of DB because I somehow have the urge to play a game competitive. Right now Iā€™m a bit undecided between being a pub player or a comp player. Right now Iā€™m sitting on the fence. One part of my heart wants a real nice comp game and the other half wants a decent pub game to spend a couple of hours on it. But overall, Iā€™m pretty happy with the way SD wants to go with DB, know it is our part to shape the game to be one of the best games avi on the market :slight_smile:
