I have seen 1 cheater in my entire history of playing. I have been called a hacker, literally eveytime time I have played. There might be a cheating problem and I've been lucky not to have encountered the brunt of it, but whenever I see someone claim another is cheating in Dirty Bomb I roll my eyes a little. Sniping in the game is fairly simple. It puts your tf/cs sniping skills to use while giving you crutches in the shape of: not needing to unzoom after a shot, an extremly powerful secondary, a throwable which gives you and your team temporary esp cheats. If you were good at another FPS, chances are you will be great at Dirty Bomb.

I still enjoy playing. The new rifleman merc class with a smoke grenade and infrared eye to see through the smoke seems like it will be very fun. I still recommend the game. It is free, aftet all.

For the most part cheaters are only in Ranked, and from my experience I get a rage hacker in every 4th or th ranked match. Not someone you think may be walling but actually someone who wipes your team in like 3 seconds as Arty.

Locking down performance CVars while leaving the game un-optimized also sucks.

The lack of private lobbies is another problem.

Then there's the fact that there isn't really any noticeable change in the game since CB1. I think all these things combined are why oen left DirtyCups, which is currently the biggest competitive league for the game.

Yes the game is still fun and yes it's still worth playing.

Dirty Bomb is a good game but some classes are a little OP such as the "Phantom". But overall a good game to play when you got nothing else to play.

how is phantom op

But imho nothing in this game is truely OP, fragger with his pocketnukes, good railgun sparks and rhino with babysitter medic are only things that can get overly frustrating to fight against, but nothing really qq worthy.
I dislike the mentality of the DB community that is to bitch about classes being OP instead of changing their habits, i see people whining daily about martyrdom when they run to finish nader with melee or trying to facetank rhinos minigun.

game's a good warmup for overwatch

so lame man, SD so desperate for money they put the game out on open beta before fixing major things, theyre more busy shitting on your configs and releasing mercs for more money. The fact that (IDK THE SITUATION) they couldnt even make a god damn anti-cheat of some sort and even the fact that they just happened to make the game on the unreal engine - literally the most cheated engine that everyone knows how to cheat in.

I never liked the fact that this game was going open beta if it stayed closed i feel like it would have more breathing room for the competitive seen to grow in a peaceful way. Oh well... i love pubbing the game and it will stay like that for me for the rest of its existence.

phantom just like spy: not really overpowered or broken, just not really fun to play against. you just kind of die to something out of nowhere and it doesn't really feel like there was anything you could have done

that might just be me though because im pretty bad lol

you all know that if phantom is close to you hes somewhat visible right?

only problem i see with phantom is that he has great smgs and that he doesnt take as much damage when hes invis (not quite sure about this one)

also he makes a lot of unnecessary noise when hes invis or just running around which doesnt help his case lmao

well once he's close he can just one shot you right? what do i do to counter?

stop playing shit characters that get one shot lmao

every character that gets one hit by him also moves faster

true although it's kind of hard to dodge a charging phantom. i should probably just stop being shit though lol

Most of the time Phantom is visible. Isn't OP at all.

Idk how u can even remotely think hes OP as after the lastest nerfs towards him makes him 100% useless his melee doesnt even one shot anymore so incredibly shity merc

I've been playing dirty bomb for a bit now, and to be honest, if you have a long history of TF2 experience, you'll feel like a pro for the first 5 hours.

Then you play 10 matches in ranked and then you get put in gold or cobalt and then it all goes downhill xD

the problem is abysmally bad, none of them play in pub they're all in matchmaking. the only games i've lost in matchmaking are to cheaters who teleport and kill you with 1 bullet through walls instantly. there's also no way to remove cheaters or vote kick/report them, even if they're on your own team (in MM). combined with no VAC the game is a cheaters paradise. 25 hours isnt that much game time, trust me they're there :(

aside from that, game is heaps of fun. devs really need to fix the major issues or people are going to stop playing though

game turned into a shitfest

rip burst weapons

[*]

doesn't this always happen with this dev?

the BR is fucking worthless now lmao

stoker is p fun though

is this game dead yet or what

It died to me when they blocked FPS configs.

I played it an awful lot when it was first released in open beta, loved it up until about the point they added phantom/limited FPS configs. Netted about 200hours and made 2 guides for the game, haven't played it since.

However I still have friends that play it, idk, TF2 is ultimately a better game, but it's at least worth trying DirtyBomb to see what you think yourself.

Which reminds me, I have one of those Alienware giveaway codes spare just gathering dust on my desktop. Assuming it hasn't expired or anything:

IHRT8-II7ZE-Q8KJM

Feel free to redeem it, you get a limited edition Aura and Skyhammer loadout, again I apologize if it doesn't work for whatever reason, but hey it's free.

Consider it at leaving gift as I'm done with the game I think haha

Just started playing and it's pretty fun. I mostly play Aura as it's pretty similar to playing med in BFBC2. Add me if anyone wants to play some time.

this game is fun but i have noone to play with
