The best thing about UT4 if it takes off. Guess they might fix the gameplay with those as well. Matchmaking is QC's another major weakness.

But at the core QC is simply just more fun than UT4 and it has better atmosphere, and this comes from someone who vastly preferred UT2K4 to Q3.

>>183190438
Not that guy, but I played both and qc made me go back to ut4.

>>183154103
Wow they're Impressively dumb. There's never any reason to do it like this unless your game has to act on the information during the game. Which by definition isn't debug information.

I'm not sure this game will be playable before QC unless they get external help.

Anon really. Please stop pretending this isn't super subjective things you shouldn't advertise.
I never post Reflex>CPMA because it's an unnecessary hostility in the scene.
CPMA fags on discord are super focused on shitting on Reflex in every way possible for no apparent reason than these small preferences. Enjoy your game and don't shit on other games without good reason.
Reflex discord doesn't complain about CPMA ever.

It's rude to suggest but all of this feels like an inferiority complex.
Which you should absolutely read about if you don't know what that is before you reply.

They're both more alive than a lot of afps and they're both less alive than QL.

>>183191745
But UT4 is more sluggish than QC.

Is the anon that worked on that Gmod Q3 mod still here?

>>183214139
Having various medium champs with differing stacks and abilities imo sounds better than heavies that without a stack get nuked left and right, and lights that die in a rail or less. I don't, however, believe they should all have varying movement speeds, but perhaps different movement abilities.

>>183214292
What?

Are QC queues still taking ages? I have been playing CS for the past two weeks I couldn't take it anymore but I want this game to be good so bad.

Anything different about the CPMA installer in the pastebin/previous OPs than ones you can find anywhere else?
and why does no one talk about Quake 4?

>>183228951
The DEZ installer is the most up to date and comes with a bunch of maps and content you'll have to download very slowly if you get the old install from playmorepromode site. Nobody talks about Quake 4 probably because not many people here have played it.

Anyone else get massive frame drops in QC? The game runs smoothly most of the time, but when I first load into a match it stutters and freezes like a motherfucker for a few seconds. Also randomly throughout the match it will start dropping tons of frames, mostly at crucial moments like when I pick up the quad.
I already tried turning all the graphics to low and even lowering the render scale to 75%, and it still performs exactly the same as when everything was at max settings. Is the game really this poorly optimized? I also tried googling stuff like "quake champions frame drops" "quake champions stuttering" "quake champions performance" and nothing comes up except people complaining about lag and netcode.

You remind me of something I want to do after sorting some personal stuff IRL.

Is a crossover between Quake and Warhammer 40K, where Ranger (reluctanly) helps a eldar girl to find her family, inevitably pissing off the Imperium and forcing him to face the lunacy of grim future.

Others characters would show up or be mentioned in the plot. Anarki would be a Slaneeshi Lord; Grunt, Bitterman and Razor are working for the Inquisition (and fight Ranger); Doom Slayer's tomb is an ancient relic known as "Wrath of the Omnissiah" that somehow scares demons away and thanks to Ranger's actions, the plot of Dawn of War 3 changes from "everybody racing for Khaine's pointy stick" to "everybody racing for BJ's Spear of Destiny", with his owner annoyed at all the stupidity above.

I know is dumb, but I am getting bored of /tg/'s fanfics where Doomguy fixes the whole setting by killing the Chaos Gods without a heavy dosage of BFG.

that's a very simplified and dumb definition of the genre.

So now that the dust has settled, which was the bigger disaster, UT4 or Quake Champions?

>>183265295
Wht dust has settled? Neither has come out yet.

>>183264532
Eh, wouldn't expect them any time soon.

>>183265295
ut4 isn't even out yet

>>183265341
>>183265361
UT4 is never "coming out", and QC is effectively released since they're running a tourney for it. Stop falling for development buzzwords like alpha or beta.

>>183265401
Oh I see, you're retarded.

>>183265440
>ITS PRE ALPHA I SWEAR GUYS
50 years later...

>>183265401
ut4 doesn't even have vehicle maps yet, it's unfair to judge it like a finished game

>>183265510
just because it's public doesn't mean it's not an alpha m8

if you actually played the game you'd know how unfinished it is, but no, you're just here to shitpost

>>183265652
It's been like 4 years and they can't even change a few integer values on weapons to make them even remotely balanced, what makes you think there will be vehicles?

>>183265295
As an id fanboy I would say it's QC easily. Epic didn't really hype their game up to be "A shooter where skill is rewarded!" then make shit netcode so we couldn't prove our skill. Nor create a mess of a balanced class system, it took them forever to make clutch semi-viable and he still gets his ass pounded due to how big his hitbox is. Finally they gutted duel, the current format is so risk averse hiding and picking with rail is a better strat than contesting control of big items. The minute you lost control of a map your fucked unless you're a good shot, this imo is due to a lack of smaller pickups like 5hp bubbles and shards. All of this occurred on a team headed by Tim "I wanted Multiplayer in Quake1" Willits and a few veteran Quake players, yet somehow they continuously fuck up. UT4 on the other-hand i have no clue who is running the show, its clearly not CliffyB otherwise you may be able to make the argument that UT4 is more of a fuckup.

>>183265790
That's the point though, they haven't invested anything in the game so it's going at such a slow pace that it will never go through the full development cycle. It will still be in pre alpha in 2020, screencap this.

>>183265820
tf2 took 9 years to develop and it got content updates for another 9 years. good games take time, 4 years is nothing, i don't know why retarded fucklords keep bringing up the development time.

>>183265510
>It's the year 1995 and you can go from preproduction to store shelf in 6 months

The speed of development hasn't been the best, nor did epic allocate the same resources as they have with other games, but to claim nothing has changed or is changing means you're not around the community but just checking every few months whether it's still in pre-alpha or not. And frankly, the game, as is, has way, way more content than qc.

And as for the dust settling - you have to be really dumb to claim this. For qc it is yet to be seen what will happen after quakecon. Though realistically we will have to wait some time after the official release for full impressions of the shitshow. Hopefully zenimax goes back to funding fallout 4 8k edition and qc dies after no one wants to pay others to play it. As for ut, it's not even being marketed. No dust to even settle.

>>183265820
Except they have and thy do all the time and their attention is currently at blitz and not at balancing weapons really. And imo, the weapon balance is almost good. It's the armor that is truly a crime upon afps.

>>183265967
>And as for the dust settling - you have to be really dumb to claim this. For qc it is yet to be seen what will happen after quakecon
Why after Quakecon? They already decided on their core game, which they will attempt to showcase to the public in a high prize tournament setting. If you actually think there will be some drastic changes, that's really ridiculous.

>>183266051
Ok, but why? Does anyone even play Blitz, why are they making the same mistake that QC made with Sacrifice.

>>183266883
blitz is the most popular mode and it's great

>>183266932
Filtering for hubs with players, there's only duel and Deathmatch being played at the moment. Why are you lying?

>>183267057
maybe check the hubs when there are actually some people playing. most players are at work/school (eu) or asleep (us). come back in 6 hours and call me a liar again.

you sound like you only check the game every few months, you're definitely not a regular and i'm wondering what you're even doing in this general

>>183267175
The difference between now and peak hours is like 40 players lol. I'm sorry I've challenged your circlejerk view, just saying it how it is, people only play Elimination, DM, and CTF.

>>183267563
>people only play Elimination, DM, and CTF
this is where you're wrong tho

>>183267601
Oh right, and the 8 people still playing UT4 Duel. Blitz isn't being played actively, that's sure as fuck.

>>183267684
>Blitz isn't being played actively
this is how i can tell that you only check the game every few months btw

go make up shit somewhere else

>>183265212
weapons aren't scattered throughout the map on specific spots, not every class can use every weapon etc etc
arena shooter weapon pickup - stays in one spot, respawns, can be used by anyone

>>183266883
No idea. I don't go to epic hubs, nor do I play blitz. I see blitz pickups now and then and i know people sometimes play 24 man blitz (kek) on pubs.

>>183265967
I have to agree with >>183266803 I had hoped they might pull a D44M and retcon some features that just aren't very good. But the only reason they did that to D44M (Really they scrapped all of Carmcaks DooM4) was I believe cause it had yet to be revealed.

>>183261689
Black then.

>>183266051
>their attention
I'm not sure how this looks to non-gamedevs but epic is clearly not putting much effort behind this. I'd be surprised if there was more than 5 full time employees on this. Including artists.

It's a project put on stasis. That's not to say it wouldn't pick up at some point. It's just that you shouldn't expect it this decade at this rate.

Afaik they did hire an extra number of people this year and they reallocated some staff to it so in theory it should pick up. Yeah, it was a skeleton crew of maybe about a dozen or so people working an for that the game has moved at a reasonable pace. I do hope we get to alpha this year.

>>183266803
Ok, seems we had a misundersanding. I thought you meant which was a disaster commercially, etc, not for us. Well, us purists at least, not the casualwatch refugees and waifufags posting here. In that case I have to say that qc is just trashand not worth a thought, let alone playtime.

The biggest negative of ut4 so far has been epic's prioritizing other shit games, but they prolly listen to their chink overlords.

notice how I didn't say weapon pickups = arena shooter, I just gave one of the things that would in my opinion disqualify a game from being an AFPS. Those don't look like weapon pickups either in that video you linked (fixed position, anyone can grab, respawn after a fixed time)

It's a genre that has existed for a long time and has a very, very hardcore (but small) fanbase in the form of Quake-dads and psuedo-Quake-dads and of course shitters. How you bridge the gap between noobs and veterans is one issue but the biggest is how do you market it to a new generation without alienating the veterans? The average normie is less interested in the gory metal themes of the 90s and more interested in colourful themes with a hint of Asian influence. Not to mention the ability to waifu-fag as many characters in the game as possible Nyx best girl. Gameplay-wise appealing too much to oldfags will just leave the noobs behind in the dust due to a skill-gap and won't offer anything new or exciting, but adding too many gimmicks and new things will ostracize the oldfags. Visa vi QC with its god-awful duel format, stacking system, hitboxes etc Quakefuus 10/10 though. It doesn't help that alot of the developers who make AFPS treat their games like an after thought only making things worse:
>Afaik they did hire an extra number of people this year and they reallocated some staff to it so in theory it should pick up. Yeah, it was a skeleton crew of maybe about a dozen or so people working an for that the game has moved at a reasonable pace. I do hope we get to alpha this year.

That was in regard to UT4, Diabotical may some day be released. Finally that brings up our last issue which is most current AFPS players have their niche game they like and are good at and would rather play that one instead of liking all AFPS and playing most of them.

How do we fix this? Dunno. QC is imo the best attempt to cobble together a frankenstein AFPS that appeals to a large crowd, except its being handled terribly and marketed even worse "Muh e-sports" will not sell a game, a working game with decent netcode and balancing however will.

>I had hoped they might pull a D44M and retcon some features that just aren't very good
what did he mean by this? just curious what original plans for d44m were like

>>183320141
It was story driven and on earth. D44M is just like QC in a lot of ways so I don't see the point he's trying to make. Surprised they didn't bring up COMBAT CHESS and PUSH FORWARD COMBAT like they did with D44M

>>183319962
I feel 2gd has a rather narrow preference though. Luckily he intends on making his game trivially moddable in physics.

>>183320461
Having a narrow preference is good. If not, you end up with a game full of shitty compromises.

>>183320141
The only thing worth bringing back from the original plan is the Imp teleportation effect

>>183320141
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS6SBnccxMA

D44M was initially going to be almost exactly like Rage except with demons. Then the id big-whigs canceled that project since it didn't feel like DooM, and we get Nu-Doom that isn't exactly like the classic but better than Rage-D44M

>>183407668
>tiny stacks
It's more like call of duty and battlefield this way. Clearly these are better games than quake because they're popular.
>speed caps
While the casual observer might not think battlefield and call of duty have speed caps they actually do. You don't have realistic opportunities to gain speed in these games and you're capped at sprint speed for most purposes.

Now our Quake has a heritage sadly. We've made bold moves to move away from this outdated game style but higher ups wish to pull in part of the old crowd. Clearly not a wise decisions. The old crowd total less than a thousand people. For an AAA game to market itself towards more than that amount is not hard.
So while we've made our best pushing for modern gameplay I'm sorry to say we're not all the way there. If you voice your complaints about the complexity of strafe jumping and weapon pickups for instance we can quickly change this.

>>183416175
>we keep them on the street
