Good post, looks cool - hopefully this may capture the essence of what ET is. Although some of the maps are too detailed IMO, hard to see enemies sometimes.

it will free to play too
obviously SD is moving on after Brink (with W:ET, another license they don't own but in that case it's probably a good thing)
I'm curious to see if they also learned anything in the process...

free to play nowadays means that you can run around and use a knife. if you want to actually be on the same level as most of the competition, pay pay pay pay pay out the ass for that golden bullet that does 50% more damage...
fuck free to play...

Agreed. Splash damage is a pretty garbage company now and should be avoided like the plague after QW and Brink.

This is perfect for me! I'm not faulting anyone for finding new games, but I'm not tired of ET yet and hope that I never am

This looks like SD's last push into making a real game.
You have to pay a shitton of money to get into alpha, so I think that is how they are recouping development costs...F2P may not be as skewed with pay content.
Holding my breath. Pissing on Allagor, as I showed this to him.
Side note: is the support class the black guy...again?

I'm impressed that they say "developers who brought you Enemy Territory" and seem to be making an effort to bring the feel of ET there. They showed engineers attempting to blow up structures, and a medic reviving a guy and giving packs. That was nice to see --- although I'm by no means a FPS fanboy, so I don't really know much about COD and all its various incarnations and where it has gone with obj and team-based play. I tried BF3 online and got raped and didn't enjoy it too much.
My problem is this just looks too chaotic. In their attempt to excite people with all the "ACTION" and the "OMG I'm GETTING SHOT AT FROM 3 SIDES I BETTER TAKE COVER!!" bullshit, it just overwhelms the game and makes me not want to try it TBH.
And this stupid "red arc" icon that shows where you're getting shot from -- why did shooters start doing this? This is a bitch move and takes away a players ability to remain hidden if there is a damn arrow showing where he is, right? I mean, I guess hacker guys with wallhacks and aimbots appreciate this shit, since they can't play for shit without their software, but us legit players don't need red arrows helping us know where to shoot.
Also - am I the only one who is sick of modern day/futuristic shooters? I love WWII theater, I love the history and the weapons and it appeals to me more than modern day stuff. But I know WWII has been beaten to death too, so there are probably plenty of people who would groan with discontent if "another WWII" shooter came out. So damned if you do, damned if you don't.
@V2
LOL, didn't notice that but that is funny if so.

SD knows that there is still a fair number of people who are waiting for a true successor to W:ET and so they're counting on that.
They would have done that with Brink already if it had not been in Bethesda's hands the whole time.
Again, an objective-based game with classes is always a good idea but it's the shooting mechanisms and the overall speed that will win or lose ETPlayers. It will need hipfire (no ironsight) and a rather low rate of fire as well if it wants to compete. this is something that was completely broken in Brink and why the game was dead after 6 months

As someone who has played literally months in each type of game(maybe years in ET,if you add it up) Each is good in their own right. I miss the family feel of ET,as well as the specific job you have to do to win a map. As far as COD BO2(which is what i'm playing now) It's also a decent game. I don't play Team Deathmatch,since I just hate the idea of a killfest. I still have the objective mentality, so I play Domination.which just means capture flags and defend them as best as you can. I like the scorestreak factor where you can call in choppers,get a sentry gun,or even a remote control mini chopper flying around and shooting people.
Both games can't be compared tho,they are totally different beings. This game(Dirty Bomb) does look a little too chaotic tho. Just like Killzone 3,they had classes in that as well,along with great graphics but too much shit going on.I wouldn't be opposed to trying this game out,that is if my comp can handle it. I haven't upgraded it in at least 2-3 years.

I don't think this is a successor to ET but it may well be close. I'll be giving this most of my gaming time, as ET is nearly dead in Europe
Stevo you live?

haha - we have lots of ghosts in our house.
I know this because when weird stuff happens ---- messes get made, toilets don't get flushed, last nights dinner is on the floor under the table.........none of my kids admit to doing it. "It wasn't me" they all say.
Oh, I guess it was the Toilet Ghost who likes to take nasty craps and then not flush....Okay, that's probably it.
So yeah, lots of ghosts in my house.
Oh the joys of parenting
