Truth be told I forgot Dirty Bomb even existed. I remember everyone was really leary on the name change from Extraction to Dirty Bomb but I could care less about the name and just want to know if what’s there is good. Now developer Splash Damage and publisher Nexon North America have teamed up with Valve to bring Dirty Bomb to Steam exclusively… so no Games for Windows Live then?
Starting today Dirty Bomb is accepting sign-ups for their open beta so YouTube should start to be flooded with let’s player, first impressions, quick looks and all kinds of media as players get their hands on the game. Right now you can watch the official Developer Diary up above which shows off some gameplay that reminds me a lot of a grittier Team Fortress 2 or Brink. Makes a lot of sense when you realize that Splash Damage created Brink. So if you want more free to play class based team FPS in your life head on over and sign up today. It has a Very Positive rating so far on Steam but as the week goes on it will be interesting to see if it can keep up that rating as gamers bang on it.

The game’s Mercs and asymmetrical team play returns PC FPS gaming to its classic, skill-based route.
