The Down and Dirty (Competitive Checklist)

SyncFx · 2013-02-01 23:21:05 UTC

Hey guys,

I’ve been trying to search all the threads for answers to this stuff, but answers seem to be not answered or buried deep within threads.

So can you guys confirm for me( and others ) what’s in this game so far?

[ul]
[li]Dedicated Servers w/ External Hosting (Gameservers.com, etc)
[/li][li]FoV Change
[/li][li]Recoil( are they planing to add more?)
[/li][li]Movement ( how is the movement )
[/li][/ul]

That’s all I got for now, will add more if anyone else has questions too!

Thanks!

I believe a Dev confirm in this sub-forum that there would be dedicated servers but wasn’t specific on how that is going to work.

For the other questions all alpha testers are under NDA and can’t discuss gameplay specific features.

I expect that once features are locked then SD will start sharing more specifics. Until then you’ll have to sign up for the beta, wait for more videos or go crazy and pay into the alpha.

Dang, I was hoping to get some answers before giving money away hehe, that’s good for dedi servers though, really good.

I presume there will be more infos out about the game very soon from SD…But I just presume

I don’t understand, this game isn’t CS? Why should it be like CS?

SyncFx · 2013-02-02 02:31:27 UTC

I don’t mean hefty recoil like CS, just from the video thus far looks pretty straight. I’m just wondering because they have ADS I’m curious what that means for hip firing. Why should I aim if I don’t have to.

i hope dedicated servers are really with thirdparties as well, like we know dedicated servers in ET,TF2,cod4 etc…
this is really a big point in esports! look to the new cod:blackops 2 its already dead because of the lack of dedicated servers!

Dedicated servers, yes. FOV slider, yes. As for the other two, have a look at the videos released so far - they’re a pretty good indicator of speed (though it’s obviously hard to convey feel in video and/or text).

Finko · 2013-02-04 13:47:05 UTC

Sounds nice, what about console and tweaking?

dIaBol0s · 2013-02-04 15:30:03 UTC

SD will release the server files as well?

With regards to movement…

If you look at 2:08 - 2:12, the jumping guy and the side to side shooting guy looks reminiscent of et imho

Gawddamn it Breo and Valdez, you giving away all the secrets!

Good eyes BrightIs.

Dthy · 2013-02-05 15:27:27 UTC

Damnit Breo! You had one job!

SyncFx · 2013-02-05 18:57:41 UTC

I now know how the game is cough bought Legendary pack cough Looking gooooooooooooooooooood.

temprider · 2013-02-05 19:39:30 UTC

maybe the movement should be faster. Left and right i think its to slow

Wepohn · 2013-02-05 20:18:02 UTC

I also think that the strafe might be a little too slow. I think a lot of games that have sprint similar to this like Modern Warfare and even Brink have clunky slower base movement. Since sprinting is limited to forward movement the movement slows down a lot as soon as you get into a firefight.

Maybe faster strafe speed or slightly faster base movement.

Scarhand · 2013-02-05 21:10:28 UTC

I would like to not have sprint restricted to forward movement. Shooting while sprinting makes combat actually interesting and fun.

Wepohn · 2013-02-05 21:58:41 UTC

I don’t mind not being able to shoot while sprinting as it makes the choice of choosing to sprint, getting somewhere quicker but being more vulnerable… adds another dimension to game sense? :S not sure if that makes much sense.

Mustang · 2013-02-06 03:23:48 UTC

This is an absolute deal breaker for me.

It’s the only way to get around the issue of needing to be able to look around whilst sprinting in a forwardly direction.

Well obviously it’s not the only way, you could do something stupid like have a freelook key whilst in “sprint mode”, but realistically it’s the only sane and usable way.

@SD
Hi, do you guys have any plans to support Dirty Bomb at ESL ?

Brink was heavily advertised and had some cups (afaik), but as everybody knows the game died quickly.

Assuming that Dirty Bomb will be way more polished than Brink and a better game generally, it could be a very successful competitive game (at ESL).

Thanks in advance
