I want Quake Champions to have guest characters from other IPs, but that would make the game even more broken and harder to "balance" than it already is.

Why would you use pervious technology if it's bad technology? If a team of 2-3 people can out do a large studio why even bother with the old? It really makes no sense.
>>
>>180555462
People talk about, zfps (fps with a large degree of vertical elements), arenafps (mainly pickups, some element of speed and a similar spawn situation seem to define the genre) and battle arenas (Tf2, Lawbreakers, Battlerite). Battle arenas are just games that are contexted by an arena. Mobas generally aren't included because their world extends into purchases and such.
Afps is generally what this general is about but i feel we should expand.
Zfps is more like a definition of a mechanic in these games.

That's exactly the problem, it's too pure. For people like us, that's a good thing, but it's not good for building a bigger playerbase.

>Can we get an official explanation on how hitboxes work?
>Hitboxes are lower-poly versions of the Champion’s actual model, not simple cylinder or box constructions. These low-poly hitboxes move and animate in sync with their characters, and most importantly are unaffected by vanity costumes and attachments. We have full control to increase or decrease their thickness individually per Champion as needed for balancing reasons. For the most part, what you see is what you get, and you can shoot between a Champion’s legs or under their arms, but if a character is too hard to hit we can fill in that area to increase their hit volume.
Why ID why that is fucking stupid, it works in a slower paced game but in quake everybody is zipping around the last thing I need is a shot passing through someones legs.

Because Overwatch went full fuckin retard and restricted 21:9 aspect ratio because "BUT COMPETITIVE ADVANTAJAGIZE ARENT FAIIIIRRRR."

Actual retard level arguments that anyone with half a fuckin brain can realize why 21:9 wont do shit to help someone play better in an FPS muhcless a slow ass hero FPS like Overtwatch.
Literally no pro player in ANY competitive Esports has ever used a 21:9 monitor. Not one. Not a single god damned pro player has used one, because it doesn't help them.
But you want a 240hz competitive advantage? GO FOR IT!
Literally every pro FPS And MOBA player has at least a 144hz display.

But no, it's the 21:9 that's "unfair." "because most people don't have them" Yeah 90% of the player base still uses 60hz displays, you dumb fucks, were's the manditory 60hz lock you assholes?

Blizzard went full fuckin retard.

Meanwhile we ask for 21:9 support in fuckin quake and they don't make excuses or make up bullshit. They just added it, they just made it so you can play from 4:3 to full blow fucking eyefinity if you wanted. They don't give a shit.

They know better than to pull retarded shit like Overwatch did.

Everyone can fuckin tell immediately why 144hz or 240hz monitor is a competitive advantage in FPS games, but OW doesnt restrict that?
Not only that, but their balance team is actually made up of Downies. I swear to god. The D.Va Nerfs and refusing to even address her issues. Fuck you blizzard.

Roadhog remaining BROKEN AS FUCK for 9 months, and they say he is ok.
Why the fuck does bastion even exist? Like he's not even a character whos strong, he's just retardedly designed.

Blizz went "BUT COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGERS" and restricted 21:9 like crybaby retards. But left the game frame uncapped, and say "that's fair."

Quake added it and none one gives a fuck, like blizzard should have done to Overwatch.

Also their balance team is afflicted with trisomy 21.

the quake2forbabbies package comes with Q2PRO which is a client that adds lots of extra functionality. You can still bind keys through console though.

no

It's more like one of the new breed of FPS games coming out like ark survival and other survival games like rust with shitty unrefined movement, strafing, jumping, shooting and bad weapon balance with RNG shit everywhere, in arena games the weapons are imbalanced too but they're thoughtfully placed around the maps

>>180616849
absolutely

Is Star Wars Republic Commando /arena/?

I think it's whatever type of shooter call of duty is, but it's own flavor, like quake vs UT

>>180618321
But republic commando multiplayer has no loadouts and has weapon pickups all over the map instead. In fact, it seems like it's a clone of halo combat evolved multiplayer - is halo /arena/?

How do I play DOOM without dosbox or whatever the fuck Steam gave me?

I don't want edgy call of duty graphics but I wouldn't mind online play
>>
>>180621565
You use a source port. Chocolate Doom for SP pursim, GZDoom for modern SP, prBoom+ for something im between, Zandronum for modern MP, and I think people still play ZDaemon online as well. The SP ports won't have people playing multiplayer.
>>
>>180621728
so do I just drag it/rename into the steam folder like I had to do with quakespasm?
>>
>>180621831
usually people just paste the .wad files over to the source port folder
i don't know how many people really duel in zandronum as well and to be honest its kind of shit compared to quake
>>
On the note of old games, anywhere I can download Multiplayer Map Paks for Q2?

I hit that shit after maybe an hour of practicing the quakelive acceleration tutorial.

The elevate tutorial on the other hand; I'm still stuck. Something is wrong with how I aim and time my rocket jumps at the end.

halo, halo 2, halo 3, and halo 5 are all arena shooters due to "equal starts" and picking up weapons and powerups on the map. so yes, republic commando is most likely arena as well. don't talk about halo in here though

>>180622119
doom2 duel is just constant mind games, tactical camping, and perfect weapon use pertaining to your positioning. ssg is used the most for sure, but those who use chain and rockets in the right situations are definitely rewarded. quake technically has more depth but doom2's style makes it worth playing anyway imo. doom was the OG arena shooter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e-60_P0_w0

watching this happen live was sick. the maps used here are the best ones in doom2 duel, although the official quakecon.wad was never released so you'd have to use a different pack instead but i forgot the name. odamex is the best duel port but I think it's inactive except for the typical IRC planned matches, zdaemon may have more players

Why did Quake Live die? I remember back then there was even a queue just to be able to play the game, and I got an "achievement" for it.
>>
>>180630223
Cause id decided to move an already under-populated game to steam and make people pay for it. Two of the dudes who taught me how to play Quake quit playing and both were hardcore Quake-Dads. AFPS has been on the decline for a while now, every noob who joined up RQ'd after a few rounds on CA. That being said if one of the easiest (and arguably most fun) to play modes makes newbies rage there isn't much hope overall now is there?

It makes sense for id to use existing Valve/Steam distribution infrastructure at the cost of getting less profits rather than meme it up and develop their own distribution/downloader/installer/community/profile manager application

I remember people bitching up a storm about the move to steam but the playerbase doesn't seem much smaller to me than it was pre-steam, i don't exactly remember but it feels pretty much the same

Diabolical.
And it clearly won't be doa since a couple thousand already bought it on the Kickstarter.
UT has nothing behind it. Not even epic games. They tried to outsource it to the community to have them work for free. Silly idea.

What does everyone think of Lawbreakers? What we've seen of it anyway.
>>
>>180637229
>Lawbreakers
Is that game even /arena/
It has loadouts and no weapon/armor/health/powerup pickups scattered across the maps it seems
>>
>>180637505
It has health stations on the map and the control elements are about positioning. It's not like the cluster up and move in games of OW. I say it qualifies but I can see why people think it doesn't.
Tribes doesn't really qualify by the same measure for instance.

Probably doesn't want to give away strats and show gameplay before the championship.

Same reason old quake pros played on smurfs and different accounts for scrims. To keep their shit away from other players who might learn to beat their gameplay.
