Thread: Dirty Bomb Closed Beta Key Giveaway

  1. #1

    Thumbs up Dirty Bomb Open Beta

    Dirty Bomb takes first person shooters back to their purest roots in a fast-paced team game that will challenge even the most competent players. This game won’t hold your hand, in fact it is more likely to kick your teeth in. With no controller support or aim assist, all that lies between you and certain death is player skill and reaction. Work together or die alone in the most challenging team-based FPS.

    In the near future, London stands abandoned, a dilapidated shell of its former self. After a mysterious disaster, the international Crisis and Disaster Agency stepped in to clean up the mess and decontaminate the city. They failed... badly.

    Now the streets of London are the playground of Private Military Companies (PMCs) who battle to control what remains of the city’s riches. After all, what’s a little radiation sickness when there’s money to be made?

    Say goodbye to London, say hello to the Merc Capital of the World.

    Features:

    Your Mercs, Your Style: Choose from a wide array of distinct Mercenaries. Need heavy fire-power? Pick Fragger, a big man with a big gun and grenades to boot. Prefer a speedy little skirmisher? Grab Proxy and race around the map, hitting the flanks with a shotgun or cricket bat. Each Merc has a variety of load-outs and attributes to suit your style. So select your favorite three, form a squad, and get ready to Play Dirty!

    There’s no I in Team: Although each Merc has their own individual strengths, they really come into their own when working as part of a team. Success in Dirty Bomb relies on creating balanced Mercenary squads, coordinating with your teammates to fight as one and showing your opponents the real meaning of hostile negotiations.

    Competitive To The Core: Dirty Bomb is built to be a highly competitive and engaging FPS experience. From the team-based gameplay to party matchmaking to planning unique Merc strategies to achieve the objective, Dirty Bomb will have everything a player needs to vie for top honors.
    A Mercenary's Playground: Compete for riches and bragging rights from 5v5 to 8v8 multiplayer action across the game’s initial two modes:
    Objective – Complete team objectives such as blowing up a train while your opponent defends and tries to run out the clock.

    Stop-Watch – It’s about teamwork and strategy in this race against time. Players take turns attacking and defending objectives while the clock counts down, the team that gets the furthest or completes it all faster takes the prize.

    Free-to-Win: Totally free to play and, more importantly, free to win, Dirty Bomb gives you hundreds of hours of competitive multiplayer fully supported by dedicated servers. It’s all about playing well as a team and mastering your Mercs and their abilities, not the amount of money spent.

    How to access & play Dirty Bomb from South Africa:

    Being a NEXON title (and with South Africa not being one of NEXON's regions) there is a way for you to bypass the Steam store restriction and to activate the game on your Steam account in order to play it:

    1) Login to your Steam account on which you want to play the game.

    2) Download FlyVPN Lite:

    https://www.flyvpn.com/download

    3) Use the "Free Trial" login details here with the client:

    https://www.flyvpn.com/freetrial

    4) Once you're logged in, set your region to "US"

    5) Connect to a available US based server via FlyVPN

    6) Once you're connected, navigate to the game's store page:

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/333930/

    7) Simply click on the "Play Game" button, this will trigger a notification via your browser to install the game on your PC via Steam

    8) Now, the game will be associated with your Steam account

    9) You can now disconnect from the VPN, close it

    10) Proceed to install the game through Steam and wait for it download

    PS: Game has dedicated servers, no local servers (yet) but as soon as one can host, I'll be sure to put one up. The game is playable on EU servers with 200ms ping (on average), so if you're keen, then give it a shot

    Please note that there are about 1700 Steam keys left at the time of me posting this, so if you want, hurry up

    Take note that you'll have to sign up on alienware's site first before you can claim a key.

    When I try to activate the key it tells me the items are not available for purchase in this country.

    Just in case you didn't know, the game will never be "available locally" (even when it does come out of beta) in the sense that it will be visible on our Steam store page due to the restrictions I mentioned above. I know the game caters for a niche market and niche market games aren't really popular in SA. As soon as they add the ability to host your own unranked servers, I'll definitely put one up for those that want to play

    Although, I still find the game perfectly playable with a 200-212ms ping on EU servers

    Surprisingly not, I've noticed quite a few players last night with a ping higher than mine (300+) and no one was complaining
