Yeah. It''s "not allowed" according to developer but so far they do nothing about it and won't ban anyone for using that except pro players.

Their engine doesn't even support console so you can't configure the game the same way you could in Q3.

Somehow I doubt that QC would become popular.
Arena shooters like Quake are just alien to the modern players. They'd rather play some realistic PUBG trash or Overwatch for waifus.

The hud is the major problem I have with the game.

Rail was nerfed because the devs devalued map control and 200/200 stacks, most champions would die just from 2 rails even with full HP and armor.

Say you're a developer. If you want funding for your vidjer, you have to beg a publisher for shekels.

Said publisher is staffed by a board of directors (none of whom play video games) who will only give you shekels if you earn them even more shekels. However, what they *really* want are those top-tier shekels like the ones being earned by games like CoD, LoL, and WoW. So they say "Sure, anondev, we'll give you some shekels, but you need to let us oversee your game's development to make sure it's up to par."

So you start development, then all of a sudden three suits come strutting through the door with a list of demands. "Change this, this, this, this too, make this a little more like [popular game]." Then they disappear.

Twelve months later, your game is a pitiful clone of [popular game], and no one is willing to switch franchises. Your publisher blames it on you for not being a competent dev, and the world keeps turning.

If they'd fix it and support the game with tournaments it would benefit everyone.
Q3/QL was ignored by everyone - no new players, no tournaments and they game fell into irrelevance.

I don't even argue that QC is a mess now and it has lots of problems. But it's funny how people don't even know that Q3 beta or even Q3 after the release was a mess too. The performance was awful, strafe jumping was awful and the game was "fixed" with OSP and CPM later.
>>
>>384150689
OW hasn't even dethroned CSGO. Unless you meant in terms of casual shooters and not Esports, then I'm pretty sure normalfags are too busy gushing over the ww2 CoD. MOBA shooters yeah, but when you're competing against a dead before birth game like Battleborn and 3rd worlder trash like Paladins, that's not saying much.

what would this game do if it didn't have the quake label? die like battleborn and the rest of the indie overwatch clones that are trying to grab the e-sports limelite
what will this clone do, with the quake label? disappoint everyone, but mostly investors

He's right, if people wanted perfect arena shooters they'd play Q3, Reflex and some other clones.

People want chests, cosmetics, teamplay, online-casinos with rare skins and hats, etc.

And it's not really a bad thing because the only competitive game that can exist without casual players in Starcraft in Korea.

At least Overwatch has an identity, I'm shocked at how generic Champions has ended up looking. Not a fan of most of the character's designs, and I'm especially not hot on how the environments are. I'm not saying Overwatch is a shining example of unique design, but QC looks boring, compared to older Quake games (not nostalgic for these) even.

I played the beta and it was enjoyable enough. Hated my character screaming some shitty one liner literally every time I respawned. If there's gonna be a classic DM/TDM mode then nobody's gonna do much complaining I can imagine.

Looking forward to trying out Diabotical if that ever comes out. Progress updates have been slow on their end lately and I can only hope that means development has been ramping up over the past few months.

TB's completely fucking right, if this opinion was coming out of someone anonymous or not totalbiscuit none of these fags would be complaining about it

I'll log into xonotic hoping even for hook instagib players to be on during north american prime time and the only populated servers are in fucking europe at a time when europeans should be sleeping

every other arena shooter is the same, even UT, which has arguably just as good branding and recognition as quake

you niggers need to shut the fuck up with your excuses about arena shooters being dead because you do all sorts of mental gymnastics in order to not admit they're not popular

look at the fighting game community surviving during their decade+ dry spell of nothing but mvc2 and street fighter 3, where they still had vastly more people willing to support the genre than arena shooters do now, and they had a tiny fraction of the playerbase that arena shooters had in their prime

can any of you fucks admit to having even that level of enthusiasm and support for shooters that the FGC did? no, you fucking abandoned them when they died like a bunch of fags, and then wave around your "arena shooter history" like you're so hardcore, so kill yourselves

abilities suck. the layer of depth they add is not particularly valuable, interesting, or challenging (unless you think the concept of counters and rock paper scissors is cool), but at the same time they trivialize core quake things like playing smart off of spawn, map movement, quad damage challenging, etc. now you can teleport to a rail immediately off of spawn, ztn red armor and bridge to rail are easier to get to, fighting over quad damage relies a lot on pressing your ability key

aside from that, the game feels like it has no soul. ffa is going to be a casual mode in any game you put it in. tdm and sacrifice feel unfocused. duel is a mess with no room for proper comebacks, map control endurance factor just isn't there and map control in generally is less important and less impacting on matches than previous quakes.

>>384155579
it's not id tech, it's a saber interactive engine.

>>384155479
desu i play a lot of doom on competitive level and really wanted doom 4 to be proper arena style. bethesda shat on it and hired halo/CoD dev to do the MP and that was that. now we have quake champions which isn't even an arena shooter either, so to me, quake was shat on as well. sorry, i'm justifiably pissed

>map control endurance factor just isn't there and map control in generally is less important and less impacting on matches than previous quakes
Look, I agree with you in some points, disagree in others, and that's fine, but this is just not true.
I'm a fairly skilled player who's been playing Quake since 2006, I was never a pro though and everytime I encountered someone really skilled I got my ass handed to me the same way noobs had theirs when they played against me, point being, I'm not really amazing but I've always known my way around an Arena Shooter and get how you're supposed to play.

In Quake Champions map control is everything, having less time to play has actually made me seen it even more. Whenever I play duel against someone who's had time to really develop good map control I get completely destroyed, it's absolutely clear and even when though I usually have higher accuracy it's useless when the other guy knows where I'm going before I do.
>>
>>384156115
you can comeback in duel but that's because it's very random in the first place. with the lower overheal limit and different health/armor amounts, it's very easy to get a good rocket or rail and be even or better, even if they've had map control the entire game.

the sound being absolutely terrible means you can get the jump on someone and you'll get a free shot because they never knew you were there, even if you were running and jumping. once you get that free shot and advantage they have is literally gone. the game is suppsoed to be skill based but favors randomness so anyone has a chance to win. the devs admitted it on stream that they want casuals to feel like they can beat a pro.

>>
>>384157002
yes because the devs are retards and thought adding randomness means casuals have a better chance to win. all they've really done is sometimes you'll lose a fight even though you were ahead, lowered the skill ceiling, and made the game less fun and frustrating.

Well, maybe you're right, just saying so far (put about 60 hours into the beta iirc, haven't had much time lately) I've found map control to (still) be the most important factor in winning, watching the QWC streams only furthered this idea, since people like Toxjc not only move around the maps like fucking quicksilver, they also seem to win or lose depending on the paths they take more than anything.

They are incredibly important in duels.
Nyx's invis, Clutch's shield, Anarki's full heal and speed boost, etc.
Pro players know that perfectly well and always collect those "clocks" on the map.

That acrylic paint on steel material they use in the movement tutorial level is actually amazing.

>>384158514
The movement isn't nearly so tight and there's something about the scale that just feels off. I think part of it is the human shaped character models instead of the bulky space marines.

Sliding and wall running are completely pointless in their current state and coupled with the removal of double jump the movement system just feels worse.

>>384160350
for example, nyx's ability is the difference between dying and living. others have offensive abilities than can help in a fight. i watched the qualifiers as well and they were very important and got kills that wouldn't have happened otherwise.

Just loading it up for first time you can immediately tell it feels like shit and then you realize it also plays like shit 5 minutes later.

It's some combination of the engine/netcode/hitboxes/weapon balance that is completely fucked.

It probably lost like 95% of its audience that tried it in the open beta, and that's extremely bad.

Quake 3 still exists, and you can go play it with the 20 people in the world who still actually play it and pretend the new game doesn't exist.

Arenatards are the worst I swear. They constantly preach about games not being "as good" as quake 3 and write off every game that isn't exactly like it, but don't actually play quake 3 at all, and aren't interested in any new arena fps games whatsoever.

Beta means the game stand firm and solid and you want to test balance/server load.
Alpha means the game is still in development with some or many or most things still in development like the netcode for example.
This game has been in development forever, the state it's in is simply sad. It's especially baffling that they didn't switch to idtech6 considering the long development time.

It's funny because Q3 was despised by Q2 the same way as QC is getting treated by so called Q3 "veterans". Most of them are underage and don't even remember how bad was Q3 at the launch, performance issues were worse than QC has right now.
And the game was finally shaped in its form only with OSP which is not an official mode but a fan-modification. QL is more or less the same OSP.

The reason that all the old arena shooter faggots aren't playing anymore is because they're over 25 and now shit at the game so they get rolfstomped.

it's this or nothing. if quake champions flops you're never going to see another quake again, so put up with your frankly minor irritations for a couple of years while playing a game that still generally speaking has quake gameplay

>>384168907
like he said, it's arbitary. quake didn't have ctf, ca, and 100 other modes. now it does, and a lot of those new modes died out because they were crap. if characters are so bad, they might not feature in a future version of quake.

plus we've been promised a mode without character differences, but who knows if that will materialize.
>>
>>384168907
Again, this is an arbitrary argument to make. When changing a game reduces the options you have or fundamentally changes the nature of the game, then yes, get mad about it. Adding more options into the game isn't a negative in this case, however; you aren't restricted in the characters you play in a round, and if you're a player coming in from other Quake games/mods, you will find characters that cater to you. It's a nice melding of options.

This is an terrible analogy, because the genre hasn't changed, nor has the feel of the game. I'll give you a better example using Devil May Cry: the reason people hated DmC, in addition to shit writing and shit art direction, was because the gameplay REDUCED the amount of things that you could do. People today are STILL finding out that you can do new shit in DMC4, whereas DmC actually removed mechanical depth and complexity. It's like I'm trying to explain to that other guy going on about characters, it would be a valid criticism IF the game reduced mechanical complexity. But try going bridge to rail in Blood Covenant (dm6) with Anarki consistently, lets see you put up a webm about it and then say it ain't Quake.

Cs 1.6 and source are still widely played, stop making up shitty excuses, and nothing really stops grown people from playing quake if they really wanted, most of the QL regulars i know are easily over their 30s and they do have families and jobs, the playerbase is just small because arena shooter have been dead during for over 10 years, anyone who doesnt admit this is plain retarded, blind, delusional or simply never played an arena shooter when those were actually alive so they cant tell the difference,

the netcode and the engine as a whole are abysmal. The gameplay is fucked by the stupid decisions of the devs (tiered health what a great STUPID idea, oversimplifications of pickups, stupid duel format, shitty champs balance, no game modes diversity, or mods for that matter)
and that's a shame, because quake with champs work good enough. They just did a shit job at it.

In all honesty, the reason it's losing part of its audience is because people these days have no concept of how to play an arena shooter. The game needs tutorials, and people need to start getting good. I'll agree that the netcode on the game is fucked up, and it's less weapon balance than it is stack balance, but your average player isn't going to even understand all that if they're going 0-30 in FFA.

Gonna try it in a few hours after the download finishes

From what i've seen and gathered the game isn't living up to anyone's hype and the steam is cooling off behind it. No one is saying anything, not even hate, and that's a really BAD sign.

I play UT4 Alpha from time to time and that game is TIGHT. Thing is that the development is never going to get done as a complete game, even though it's perfectly and completely playable right now and it's good. But to surprise to anyone: it's kinda dead. I see the same thing in Quake Champions everywhere and even in these threads. But whatever, let's see.

Just watch CPMA-mainers with Anarki, Sorlag and Clutch.

Those ones are GOTTA GO FAST tier.
Anarki is utterly annoying piece of shit to play against with his hitbox. It actually requires way better aim than it was required for Q3 because in Q3 you could make your enemy model look like TankJR and have no problems hitting him with the rail or LG.
Also pros can't use "picmip" and all that visual garbage is making it even harder to aim. Especially against Anarki or Nyx.

Q3A wasn't very good even back then, being completely honest. Weapons were ok, animations were fucking ass, everything looked blurry and low res, it had a shitton of cheaters and no much variation of game modes. It was a niche game for very niche people from the start, pulled some normies when there was no other game like that back then, and then died into obscurity again.

So there are two options for Quake 5:

It's really not, it's always too convulted and doesn't have much variety other than mazes, even level design in Doom had more variety on their designs having both large open areas and mazes in perfect balance.

Gunplay just doesn't feel satisfying, it feels too basic and encounters aren't really that much fun.

improve the concept with new game modes, weapons or other mechanics: Good

ruin the concept of arena shooters by adding characters and meta game that don't put players on a level playing field: Bad
>>
>>384174878
You basically do a circle jump but instead of jumping you dodge.

So you turn 60 odd degrees to the direction you want to go, hold forward then double tap and hold the dodge in the direction you want to go and pull your mouse around to face your direction of movement to stretch out your dodge.

My pc can't really run it now.
Will play eventually when it comes out.

For now i'll play some mor QL and get stomped there. I did pretty well when i tried and my shit chugged at like 15 fps with laughably low resolution. After that people got more proficient.

Still really not sold on a whole bunch of aethetic choices. Mostly weapons, lack of weaponselection, character design, hud/colour cues being samey.
I like Quake best when it's immediately clear what's going on at a glance.

Even though i'm a shitter and could be wrong. I think base movement speed atleast is quite a bit slower than q3 but maps are smaller to compensate or something.

Because arena shooters died over a decade ago or so for a reason. Same reason Overwatch died already.

You can't have shooters without progression beyond aesthetics nowadays. It used to fly in the days of Unreal Tournament 99 and Quake, because multiplayer games were new, so that was enough for people.

Now, people are a lot more demanding (and entitled) and want more. I just can't bring myself to play Quake Champions for more than a few hours before I realize I'm not working towards anything and the core gameplay isn't fun enough to justify playing it.

People love to revisit old genres and styles for nostalgia's sake, but you gotta realize, evolution happens for a reason.

Pretty much this, lots of those retards who claim to be arena shooter fans are the first people to ditch them over whatever garbage game is popular on twitch like Overwatch, PUBG and even CSGO, last time someone did an invitation to play Quake live with /v/ it barely got 8 players and the retards didn't even knew how to play CTF.

>Gunplay just doesn't feel satisfying, it feels too basic and encounters aren't really that much fun.

What? The gunplay feels perfect, it's actually a lot better than any other arena singleplayer fps, even better than doom, you might not like it but it's objectively better than doom since obviously it's better graphically and for example you can overkill enemies with a double shotgun point blank to an already injured enemy makes him explode, also the verticality and the ability to jump makes it a lot more dynamic and gives you the ability to dodge enemy shots without having to use walls everytime as cover.

Actually it feels like there more noobs dueling now at Quake Live than before, might be just feeling because the playerbase has dropped a lot since QC came.

Quake 3 is pain to setup for modern pc and you need that external server browser and there's not even that many players.

Quake live was always shitty browser game, it's the best quake we currently have but nobody wants to play quake live forever.

>>384179358
These mechanics still make for an uneven playing field.

Arena shooters are like Tennis: Everyone is playing to the same rules and both sides of the court are the same.

In Quake Live each player can choose his side of the Tennis court to be different dimensions and surface than the opposing side, play to different rules and have a magic button on the racket that teleports him somewhere else or makes him invisible.

QC is not a pure arena shooter, and neither it's trying to be.

You claim it's not a quake game if it doesn't have a predifined set of rules, but thats not really what makes a quake game, quake can exist beyond the Arena shooter genre and still be Quake if it has things that define the series like fast paced movement, strafejump and circle jump, the weapons, the maps and their designs, the pickups, all those things are still the core of the game in champions and matter more than a ruleset, if there was such uneven playing field, it wouldn't be the same Q3 and even UT pros the ones dominating QC overall, which they are, all the basics are still there.
>>
>>384180594
I play warsow everyday. In duel the level the level is so high.. only few good player play it, the otehr mod is bomb you need to be on irc for playing, and the last is CA, like in duel you get rekt by good player. This is why all AFPS are dead, too much level, all new players get rekt and leave. You are a new player and want to play a NEW arena in 2017 deal with QC, old hardcore players go try hard on old games.

Bullshit, Zero4 joined the game when it was already basically in the same state it's currently in. He had NO influence on the game design. He may have some say in rebalances now but that's about it. He didn't greenlight the entire fucking champion concept, that was thought up by two people who can barely play Quake (Syncerror and Sponge) and just want to be part of a big new production at id. They took what was supposed to be an update for QL (a new mode) and pitched it as its own game. The suits who never played Quake liked the idea and that's how we got to where we are.
>>
>>384182197
>it still runs like shit.
Please explain how, for me it runs like fucking butter, in fact one of the best ways to tell QC still has a long way to go in optimization and netcode is by playing 2 or 3 matches of QL, everything feels like it should and it's much better optimized than Q3 was for newer machines.

QC is currently shit but these critisizms are uninformed / irrelevant:

The other stuff is true. Visual design is generally shit, be it UI or ingame graphics or weapon models. Everything looks weird in a random way, there's no overall style to it or at least not an appealing one.

Reflex is pretty good and you're also wrong about it dying, it never lived in the first place. The air was out before they ever pretended to "launch" it. It was stillborn because you can't get people interested in a "new" game that's actually been out for years. Same thing that's happening to UT. They're still bringing it closer to shippable quality but without a HUGE marketing campaign nobody will give a fuck. It's been out forever, anyone who is interested has already tried and clearly based on the numbers almost nobody sticks around and keeps playing.

It's ok. Nothing worth leaving the actual thing for, though, Quake is more than just copying the basics and calling it a day.

Because it would be never better than the actual thing (UT99, UT2004) which are pretty different games on their own, it's just pretty stupid to make literal clones of the original Arena shooter games and expect them to be succesful, it has never worked, ever. This is why i understand what QC is trying to do.

I think it has really nice movement actually, if you're into air control. I just don't. I gave it an honest shot for a week or two and just went back to QL. I don't like flying in circles and I don't like when other players do it either. But I thought for the Quakeworld / CPMA crowd it should be extremely fun.

At least the Reflex devs understood that responsive controls are a must. Railing in that game was actually more responsive than in QL. That's amazing for a much more modern engine. Compare that to QC where they can't get any of the major weapons to feel right even when you're getting hundreds of frames.

>>384184885
>It looks pretty much like an HD version of Quake 3

I don't agree with this at all. The art style is completely different. There's a shimmery, glossy quality about all surfaces. Actually nuDoom was closer to Quake 3 in style because of the organic looking megatexture-baked lighting. Quake 3's lighting was also baked into textures and thus looked quite organic or consistent if you will. Quake Champions light and shadows are all over the place. There are obvious hand-placed lights in many places, there are areas that feel like they should be dark but they're not and other areas that should be bright but aren't particularly bright at all. It's a big mess.

Take this screenshot for example (off google):
>walls on the left and area under balcony waaayy too dark, there are some pitch black spots there - how would that even happen??
>why is that bit of floor in front of the character a desaturated red? What material is that supposed to be? it doesn't harmonize with any of the other colors in the scene, generally choice of color is off on just about everything. another example would be this awful greenish blue on the LG, why wouldn't it be light blue like its beam, if any color?
>weird architecture on the right. wtf is any of that? why is there busy high contrast detail on the ceiling under the bridge?

Check out screenshots or walk around in the game and look at things yourself and try to find a visual theme. You can't, there's so much random architecture and so many random colors in any scene. compare that to the really simple color schemes of any Quake 3 / Live map. Walk around Bloodrun (red, brown, yellow), Sinister (brown, yellow, light blue), Cure (green, brown, orange). That's how you use colors and architecture styles. The latter two maps were actually created by community members, so community mappers who did it for free have a better eye for aesthetics than QC's professional developers.

This. I was interested in trying an arena shorter but this thread is making want to go back to COD. At least that game has people that actually play it and don't act like elitist fags.

These games need new blood but there is no attempt to bring in new players from veterans of the game. The developers at least try to make it more appealing.

But it isn't. You don't see many people playing super mario 64, guess that's a trash game that doesn't need any sequels or for people to pay attention to the franchise.
