About Dirty Bomb®

✦ AI summary

Jump into a hardcore team-based FPS where dirty bomb attacks have turned London into a war zone, and only pure skill and teamwork will keep you alive—no aim assist, no safety nets. Choose from over 20 unique mercenaries with distinct abilities and fight through objective-based modes where speed, strategy, and reflexes are everything.

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.

A string of 'dirty bomb' attacks cripple London, leaving the Central Disaster Authority to restore it. When criminal syndicate Jackal begin disrupting and stealing their technology, the capital is thrown into chaos as mercenaries from across the globe are hired by both sides.

That's where you come in. After all, what’s a little radiation sickness when there’s money to be made?

Features:

Fast-paced, highly competitive teamplay that takes the shooter back to its purest roots

Over 20 distinct Mercenaries, each bursting with their own abilities, attributes and expletives

Two game-modes:

Objective – Battle through parts of the city, completing objectives to reach the finale before time runs out

Stopwatch – Objective mode for competitive types, where teams swap sides mid-match to see who's faster

Used to be one of the best FPS games imo, too bad it's dead now, because the game was abandoned by the devs..

Played this game a bunch in the past. The gunplay is smooth and fluid, the characters have great variety in both playstyles and designs, and the maps all feel good to navigate. An excellent team shooter hindered only by the fact that it's essentially dead. The most populated server was full and locked behind a level 50 requirement, and the most I could garner after that was a 4v3. I unfortunately doubt this game will ever make a comeback, but I'm grateful for the memories I made while playing it. It really stuck with me.
