Is Dirty Bomb Worth Your Time in 2024?

[@40splishsplash]

Is Dirty Bomb worth your in in 2024? Let's play and see how this almost nine year old fps game is doing at the beginning of the new year! Is it still fun to play and are there still people playing Dirty Bomb? Let's find out!

[@nunya8412]

game was amazing back in the day, played it the day it released. the downfall of dirty bomb was also amazing. it was the one time where every die hard competitive player just said "change this back or we quit" and then when splash damage tried to call their bluff everyone actually said "alright everyone shut it down. we're done here". every major streamer stopped playing it, the entirety of the competitive scene shut down (all privately run too. they would go and get sponsors for prize money and everything) every die hard fan stopped and they lost over half the player base in like two month lmao. you can see it on the steam charts still. from july to september of 2015 is when the phantom update came out and then the melee nerf happened shortly after. before phantom came out you could basically free-spin while melee'ing. there was no limiting of your movement. if you wanted to spin 360 while in the knife animation, you could do it. so you get phantom with the katana and you could just stealth into a room and spin in circles and kill like three people. which was insanely op and game breaking and everyone said "you gotta nerf this guy". but instead of nerfing phantom or removing the katana they nerfed the entirety of melee to where it is now and everyone lost their minds. one of the greatest revolts in gaming history that i got to watch lmao. sad it happened to dirty bomb because it was a fun game but it was a glorious revolt lmao.

[@40splishsplash]

Thanks for your comment! I knew a bit about this scenario, but not all, so thanks for filling in the "blank parts" for me :) There's always a balance when it comes to listening to the community when it comes to feedback, but also stick to the game plan as a developer. Sometimes they should have listened more and sometimes less. I guess this is an obvious example (at least when it comes to Phantom, that nerfing melee overall wasn't the solution. To bad though, would have loved to see DB continue to grow as a game.

[@user-ep6iw9he7e]

I feel like devs weren't good enough players themselves to understand how to manage game and balance it out properly. One of the lastest things they did was to nerf Dreiss AR (which imo was obviously the strongest gun with much lower Time To Kill than any SMG/assault rifle at any range [0.4 ms vs ~0.5 ms for most of SMGs/ARs], competitive against snipers at long ranges too, which i also used to play 80% of the time) with higher bullet spread - what they did is basicly turn a gun that's supposed to be a bridge between snipers and assault rifles and give it the exact opposite feature as it should have. To me the most obvious move should be to increase TTK with lower base damage and combine it with lower damage falloff and sligtly lower spread - giving an edge over SMGs/ARs only at longer ranges and force player to headshot more consistently.

That's some very special memories, thanks for sharing!

[@jono.mp4]

the wall jumping, unique abilities, everything about this game back in 2015-2016 (the years i played the most) was SO good i was so sad that they shut down their servers. this game was genuinely frustrating when the other team was destroying mine, but it always pushed me to be better instead of ragequitting. RIP DB

[@40splishsplash]

Thanks for sharing your DB memories! But also pointing towards something that almost is "forgotten" in times where many games have strong SBMM settings; instead of rage quitting, you took it as a challenge and it made you a better player at the end of the day. I've experienced the same thing, not only in DB, but also other "old school" game :)

[@NoThisIsPatrick.]

I've always played this game every time I get bored, I have just over 2000 hours in it. This game is so freaking fun when teams are actually balanced and not one sided.

[@Lorenzo_631]

I just played this game at 2AM(haven't played in years), first it was only 5 people in the lobby then it climbed to 14 and its insane how well this game holds up in 2024, makes me so sad. The game died because the developers ruined it but playing now it just shows that the foundation of the game is good. Is the game worth playing? Idk, its hard to tell with a "dead" game, maybe a huge uptick of players would show the devs that people really do want this game to be alive but that's my hopeless optimism. Again just makes me sad because its a very solid game that no other objective based team shooter can touch, in my opinion.

[@40splishsplash]

Thanks for your feedback, and I agree with what you're saying. It does hold up well also in 2024, it's such a pity that it was "abandoned".

My guess for the surge in population within the last few months is the hype for XDefiant. It only just released, 10 months ago I got to play the closed beta, and it reminded me a bit of Dirty Bomb, they have a bit of the same feel, they scratch the same itch. So I found myself playing some Dirty Bomb for a bit. Also, the netxode on XDefiant is so bad, man I miss the good old days of prime DB

[@40splishsplash]

Thanks for your comment! You could be right, the XDefiant hype could have helped out DB a bit when it comes to curious players checking it out for the first time. My recent video is about XDefiant, since I've played quite a few hours already. It's a pretty fun Cod clone (more or less), but it sure needs improvements when it comes to netcode. I hope they can improve that.

I loved TF2 and Overwatch however I always thought that Dirty Bomb was the best middle ground between the two big hero shooters. I think if Dirty Bomb had a bigger company behind it then it would have definitely been bigger but it will always hold a special place in my heart. Its just a great game that just at its core is such a good shooter. It also has such good gunplay and feels better than most competitive games today.

I remember this mediocre multiplayer objective based shooter that came out called Brink, same devs as Dirty Bomb, and published by Bethesda with lukewarm reception back in 2011.

SBMM is good. It can have poor implementation but it's good. It makes stomps less likely. How is this still a contested point

[@40splishsplash]

Thanks for your comment! My take on SBMM is pretty straight forward and simple; SBMM in casual game modes? No. SBMM in ranked game modes? Yes. The harsh SBMM settings in many modern shooters nowadays, gives you a repetitive and monotone gaming experience, since most matches feels or/and plays the same. I'd rather have more variation, meaning no SBMM, where I sometimes do well and sometimes struggle. More fun in the long run. It's not about stomping, it's about enjoying a game without caring to much.

[@histhoryk2648]

I've came back to DB for few days and if more time passes then it's harder to play. Huge disproportion between new players and veterans, it's practically unplayable you either stomp players that don't know what keyboard is or you get stomped by a Vassily that has so perfect aim that's so close aimbot Was it fun? kinda... but I can't keep up anymore. Additionally for some reason recently all servers had serious disconnection and lag problem The saddest part there's no other game that has similar gameplay to DB, this game has specific gunplay and TTK

Thanks for your comment and feedback! Yes, the scenario you're describing is probably something that many players have experienced or are experiencing when playing DB in 2024 (myself included).

Splash Damage are just cash grabbers, when they stopped developing dirty bomb, the game had around 2k online players playing at the moment, which is plenty enough to support a game, but nah, all they want is money, i hate them so much, and i hope their company goes bankrupt, the game is good, but devs are #$@&%*!

I as well wish that the game wasn't just "left behind". The only reason we're still able to play this game, although the player count is low, is because of an active small community that also has established community servers.

I can hear in his voice that he speaks BS. Game looks like lienar and he says parkour movements?

[@40splishsplash]

I guess it depends on how you define parkour. But you can do pretty cool jumps bouncing off walls and obstacles in this game if you become good at it, that does look quite "parkourish".
