My, how quickly Brink was forgotten.

Not sure how I feel about this game. Looks a little been-there-done-that for me to get excited just yet. But it shouldn't be too hard to improve on their last release.

Brink wasn't bad, but there's certainly a reason that hardly anybody plays it anymore. I mean, hell, it took me a month before I could actually play it at a slightly acceptable framerate.

Let's hope this game's release isn't as shaky as Brink's was.

This game is essentially sitting comfortably in between Enemy Territory and Brink, having most of the mobility of the latter (but without the canned parkour animations, instead relying on classic long- and walljump skills), and the more well-defined class roles and focused and fleshed out mission design of the former. So far it's making a pretty damn good impression. It's rather traditional in many ways, but that is absolutely not a bad thing in light of how shallow and reward-driven most FPS games are nowadays.

I hear that Splash Damage will be going with the League of Legends pay model.

Befittingly so, considering that Dirty Bomb's class selection is actually somewhat MOBA-like in nature.
