It's like CPMA with worse movement, retard balance where rockets were nerfed while melee gets 100dmg, less content and gamemodes, a pricetag, and no future. I'd get a refund for it if I could but I spent too much time waiting in matchmaking. Also the game shits itself if you have more than 80ping ehich means the game is guaranteed to die as soon as the NA or EU scene start thinning out.

>>181489226
He's complaining about TTK on low health heroes, which are the only heroes that can compete in map control, and this allows for snowballs. It's a valid complaint.

Quake isn't a game about aim, it's a game about map control. This is why Rapha has been arguably the best player so long, despite having terrible aim compared to players like strenx or tox.

>>181490641
Rapha would get curbstomped in any Quake game other than Quake Live since they don't enable +back faggotry

Rama is pushing the ruleset hard.
I've played it. I like the way they limited rocket ammo because I don't like rocket spam at all.
The overall changes to rockets is extremely small though.

It's because cpma is pretty fucking shit to begin with anon. It doesn't take much to beat it.

Also you're fucking awful at arguing. Don't reply to me again shitter.

>>181492487
>she doesn't know how to aim

>>181492626
What arguments? You're just some drone with buyer's remorse trying to convince himself his literal dead on arrival game that makes battleborn look populated is better than a decade old mod because it has a price tag.

>>181491036
Call of duty and CS are largely about aim and coordination with your team. Plenty of one tap headshot weapons. I'm not sure about the latest games but cod4 and below have always been like that.
Though "it's not a game about aim" makes it sound like aim isn't a component. Quake has been about a balance between aim, strategic elements and movement. The current player base like it as it was and they've played it for a long time. Of course people will not like when you do what QC does and make rails so incredibly powerful.

>>181489864
Yeah. But really the rail issue hasn't changed much. The difference between 100dmg rails and 90dmg is important but it's not changing the game drastically. It's still a game where you have larger ranges than ever in quake (on average) and lower health pools.
Duel doesn't play drastically different aside from clutch play which can be more aggressive because it's a tanky character with good movement now. And I like it. But I'm a Reflex guy so of course I want the robots to be good.

>of course people won't like that QC makes rails so powerful
And we didnt like it when they did it in Q2, and we didnt like it when they did it in Q3.

That's why the nerfed it in QL.

>>181494046
In Q2 the railgun only spawned every 30 seconds

>>181494205
That just makes it worse, since you cant pick up RG to even the odds.

It doesnt matter it is slow spawn, because it's a OHK.

>>181493489
Can't catch it right now, I'm on my phone. I'm an adult so I have to go to work.

But the only solid reason to prefer CPMA over Reflex is the price tag. I don't know why you CPMA fags are so hostile about the games though. You see all that resent in the CPMA discord all the time from people who barely even play.

Play your damn game so you can at least argue CPMA has a player count advantage. Because it doesn't right now. They're about the same despite CPMA being free.

>>181494046
I think it's just something they decided to make their jobs easier.
I would expect them to have nerf the RG as they've effectively nerfed every other weapon. Rockets are weaker because the maps are larger and there's more movement options. LG has smaller range compared to map size. Shotgun is just slightly buffed.
RG is pretty much untouched right now.
It's so silly.

>>181494651
how did shotgun get buffed? they made the hitboxes so much smaller than the other games

>>181495212
tighter spread?
more damage?
faster firing?

>>181495382
they also made the falloff unbelievably high so you can only use it effectively in gauntlet range

>>181496112
but there isn't damage falloff?

>>181496613
whatever, you know what i mean. clicking directly on someones model from more than bridge to rail length with super shotgun does about 20 damage, does 6 damage any farther than that

>>181496952

>>181494535
Actual CPMA has less claustrophobic maps and a more reasonable melee range than Reflex does. Reflex feels like a joke game mode sometimes when you're meleeing each other in a tiny room at a hundred miles an hour. It does have stake house though.

>>181514404
visor's wallhack is so brief I've yet to see anyone score more than 1 kill with it, same with bj
maybe the hidden medal is awarded specifically for killing nyx as she exits gheywalk

what champion should a scrub play?

i know this isnt a game where you need to "main" a character to perfect every detail like a fighting game, but if someone is just starting out, what character should they spam to get better at the game without creating any bad habits for themselves or crutches? do any of them actively deter bad play/reward good play more than normal?

>>181522739
Play Quake Live/Quake 3 Arena for fundamentals
Play CPMA/Reflex for Anarki
Play Quake 4 for Slash
Play UT99/2004 for Clutch
Play Quakeworld for bunnyhopping in some idtech engine derived games like Counterstrike

>>181522739

I only play it when they do CTF events since duel is dead and I'd rather just play CPMA for that.

I just want less busy particle effects and actual team colours. This outline shit is horrendous.

>>181533282
That's exactly what Reflex does you retard. And TF2 was always a joke of a competitive game even Valve doesn't take it seriously.

>>181534165
I don't think he's saying TF2 was, is, or was ever meant to be a competitive game, he's saying it has better visual design regarding character silhouettes and colors than most games designed to be competitive from the start.

>>181534165
> can we have good visibility without brightskins?
> yeah, we just use brightskins

>>181534370
Except Reflex does it better and lets you customize it exactly to your liking.

>>181534562
> does it better

>>181533746
they have a system in place to change colors around on outfits
blue on light gray and red on dark gray for team play
nobody cares about the cosmetics of OTHERs anyway

>>181534720
Model designed to perfectly fit within the character's hit cylinder, no visual clutter, customizable enemy and team colors, clear visibility on player models and simple environments at all times. If you seriously have to ask how it does visibility better than TF2, a game loaded with cosmetics and particle effects out the ass you need help. TF2 was always a neutered QTF/TFC anyways.

>>181535825
>If you seriously have to ask how it does visibility better than TF2, a game loaded with cosmetics and particle effects out the ass you need help.
Pretty sure he meant the old TF2 with nine years of development, not current TF2 with nine years of bloat.

> TF2 was always a neutered QTF/TFC anyways.
TF2 is a more fun and balanced game than Quakeworld TF or TFC could ever dream to be, even with all the extra weapons. I'm sure you'll cover your ears and defend Medics doing fucking everything, completely useless Spies and Pyros, and everyone mashing their grenade hotkeys whenever they're about to die, though.

>>181536197
Doubt you ever played QTF or TFC. TFC was a mod hastily turned into a game but still more fun than slow ass TF2.

>>181535825
Not the guy you were originally arguing with, and everything you said about Reflex was accurate. I still agree with the TF2 guy on the level that I understand what he means. In TF2, theres never a moment when I cant see exactly what weapon theyre holding, what color team they are, and the action theyre performing. Seriously, the game is designed extremely well in terms of visibility.

>>181549000
what exactly is dirty?

What do you guys think of all the new school shooters starting to incorporate old school elements again? There are varying levels of success but I really liked Titanfall 2. It has low time to kill and modern style assault rifles, but also a quake-like momentum movement system with air strafing, wall hopping, grapple, and so on. You up to quake speeds easily. There are rocket launchers and projectile energy weapons. It feels a lot more old school than the first game.

>>181549483
all of these new school shooters have neutered movement and just borrow a few oldschool elements and spread them across dozens of characters

>>181538079

>>181554935

A lot of them do, but Titanfall 2 is truly fast. I thought the parts /arena/ wouldn't like were the lack of items other than titan batteries, unlimited ammo, or low ttk. Gotta say, I barely even played modern FPS because the movement never satisfied me after I grew up with Unreal and Quake. When Titanfall 2 came out I loved it instantly. I can't think of any other FPS where you are supposed to bunny hop in the single player campaign.

>>181556472
>Make a game where the main gimmick is the ability to move quickly across the map using a variety of movement techniques/abilities

Why dont pros use Slash? Not even common in Sacrifice, and very rare in Duel.

I think it's her lack of sustain. Unlike Anarki she has no heal, unlike Nyx, she has no guaranteed escape; and she doesn't even have any base armor to make up for it. She only gets an extra 25 base health instead.

Any and all /arena/ games are doomed to fail in the current years. There's lots of games to play, lots of things to do; nobody healthy, intelligent, reasonable, well-adjusted, attractive, and normal is willing to put in hours getting good in a single game. Time invested in getting """"good"""" at one game is better spent elsewhere.
I don't even know why developers keep on making games of these kinds, time and again the market has proven games of such kind are not profitable. They're blinded by the money e-"""""sports"""""" is currently raking in.
As soon as the last /arena/ players croak in a retirement home having a LAN party the genres will have become truly dead.
And the gaming community will have become a better one.

I like lawbreakers. But I have some issues. Their tank is stupid strong and is actually consistent DPS over long ranges. The visual clarity in the game is almost as bad as overwatch. If you fire a gun the muzzle flare is probably obstructing your target. On top of that the environments are also visually cluttered. Wraith is also slightly op but you can deal with it. You just have to avoid the ground when he's around.

I wouldn't pay for it but I can see why people might.

She is the most fun to use but the worst pick.

>>181614791

>>181597203
Her ability is shit it's to short to secure an item and not long enough to deck a hallway.
Also her slide is very annoying to use, at times it works like a charm gracefully pulling you around a corner and sometimes it stops for no reason like she was about to slide into some shit or something.

she is still best girl though :^)

>>181622508
The speed boost on her ability needs to be made omnidirectional like Anarki's rather than forwards momentum. Being able to boost away facing backwards to retaliate and time your ability use properly would increase her defense in 1v1s

That or give her 25 base armor since she's the only champ that can get 1shot from spawn
