The Dirty Bomb communities have been expanding like crazy in the last few weeks and continues to impress so far. This includes the competitive community ofcourse. Below I will post some links and matching descriptions on where to find things if you're looking for them.
http://forums.dirtybomb.nexon.net/
The official Dirty Bomb forums hosted by Nexon, you can find pretty much anything here if you go to the right sub-forums. Patch notes can be found here too(they still haven't figured out how time zones work so beware if you're planning around maintenance/patching xD). There are of-course also recruitment threads for teams here but I suggest using the Dirty Cups forums if you're looking for more serious players, also asking around is a much better tool to get in the 'inner circle' as those teams all know eachother and know if teams are looking.

Self-explanatory to most. The Dirty Bomb sub-reddit. Everything from patchnotes to 'i hate the game threads' and Pro player flame to tips and tricks. Far more complete than the Nexon forums but keep in mind that you also have to dig through more trash. Moderators are generally helpful and fair.

The official Splash Damage forums. This is where the Devs are most active and if you have a serious bug or technical issue I suggest going here with your report/questions. This is also the place where the more competitive players tend to hang out ;). Ofcourse Dev posts/info and patch notes are almost always posted here first.

By far the most active and prosperous competitive scene is found here. They run a weekly cup on Sundays which combines both NA with EU and you can find scrims on their website if you are not yet familiar with other teams on for example steam(I will admit I don't know how actively used the Scrim Finder is, but from what I've heard people use it :P). This is the best place to find more serious teams if you are team/clan-less so make your recruitment threads here. They also host a mumble where you can enter for PUGs and if your team is desperate for a team VOIP channel you can find it there for free as-well. The PUGs do have a couple of rules so I suggest asking for those when you first join their mumble(the rules are explained in the channel comments but ask if needed). The info for the mumble is:
Address: mumble.dirtycups.gg
Port: 64738
http://evaczone.com/
Evaczone was one of the pillars that starting the competitive scene way back in the early Beta(even Alpha if I remember correct). After a few unfortunate set backs this site has become a bit inactive but from recent news it seems they are looking to get back into the action soon so keep an eye on them if you want.

Every competitive players knows who ESL is. ESL has hosted a small competitive event and according to
Pansy ESL is definitely keeping an eye on Dirty Bomb and it's potential but it's not confirmed if they will be picking it up. Currently there is not much going on there but keep an eye on it for future stuff!
http://au.cybergamer.com/pc/dbgame/ladder/rankings/
CyberGamer has made a page for an Australian(region locked I think, not sure) DB 5v5 Ladder. Having in mind that this ladder is still not playable it's good to see that the options are getting ready. So Aussies from CF get in touch with those peoples if you're looking for a team, from what I hear the community is small but very fierce(kinda like it was in ET! :D)
There are numerous regional communities popping up everywhere. I suggest asking around on the official DB forums by Nexon for what is available for your region. Keep in mind that Russia is in a separate client/region so players from that region might have to find other places to do things as I wouldn't be able to tell you where to find stuff.

Regional Communities

Everything I know so far, I achieved with just a little google or testing mysself (like the two consoles).
I now want to see where tourneys are being hold, how to enter etc,...
I wish to think i'm doing quite fine in this game. The moment I play with a team, who goes for obj I've never lost so far. And with never, I actually mean never. A little proud of that (keep in mind, I'm still not ranked, so I probably played against lows only). I like this game, it depends a lot on teamplay.
btw: I can't use any commands anymore in console, which I was able to?
I can't use callvoteplayer ID (something similar, I use 'tab' to actually execute the command when writing 'callv') not anymore, nor can I see the listplayers to actually get the id? Can you?
Most ET player will have a headstart in DB due to the game being similar in a lot of aspects(mapdesign, aimstyle, movement, timing) but don't overestimate yourself because the skillgap between low+medium and high players is massive and then the gap between high skilled players and the top teams has quite a gap as-well. Most of the better teams only play with full lineups in private servers so you most likely haven't seen them play unless they were soloqueueing :p. And a lot of the good players prefer the Dirty Cupa PUGs that I mentioned in the article.
Took me about 1,5 hours to write this up. Like I said this is all info I already had with a few additions so I only really put it together as no one in DB really put all the little pieces in one place. Some other DB forums/communities asked me if they can link to this post so :p
Streamer should enable their "past broadcast" feature (Olbaa for example) :)
First of all, thanks for making this!
I'm making a team but we're having problems with practising TJ's (people joining the server and shooting us :p)
and coming up with tactics (again no empty servers where we can do our thing without someone joining)
I asked Oxy how the "pro's" do it and he told me "with lots and lots of effort and switchlevel obj_whitechapel".
Can you explain this? cause i have no clue what it means.
done.
Alternatively for other maps:
Obj_canarywharf
Obj_bridge
Obj_terminal
Obj_trainyard
its not currently possible to play alone on a server with friends, there are private servers but you need to be on it with 10 people before the server allows you to start the map.
Default for me apparently is: 131972 without ever have touched it.
That's remarkable higher as your default 400...
Thank you!
what to do, its on read-only
Also remember that there are multiple configs for DB, shooterengine/shootergame etc. so some things won't change with certain files.
btw downloading an fps config made a big difference for me in fps, even compared to setting everything low in menus and having OneFrameThreadLag=True
The only thing you might want to talk about is Aura's healing station marker requiring (if I remember it correctly):
dynamicDecals=1
FloatingPointRenderTargets=True
~ Ahli
[Configuration]
[ShooterGame.SGPlayerInputPawn]
in shooterinput.ini
Some people (like me) might fail to find it the first time
MinMagFilter=Aniso
to
MinMagFilter=Point
you can also try to use LINEAR instead off POINT
edit: looked up the command, it seems to be related to the texturegroup commands and a lot of those are locked/force since the last couple of patches. You sure it effects things a lot or placebo? :P
i tried to play with it (all to Linear) but i couldn't hit anything with hit dunno if it was me or Magic.. i never saw any restrictions in the Patchnotes which should be there if they force Values in CFG.
btw i saw outc1der changing the mipmap(?) levels ingame, is that some new cmd?
outc1der is using command called 'SetMaxMipLevel [0-16] pretty much forces a max lod value. which makes things look a lot more like the potato configs again.
ive got a 4460 and cant get stable fps
