added ut4 to the OP so we can pretend this is more than just quake general

>be not a shitter
>still hyped for literally any game that has even slightly Quakeish movement and gamemodes and any chance at all of a decent playercount so that every day isn't Clan Arena with the same 20 people

Why don't you just play FFA? There's always populated servers for it unless you live in some third world backwater shithole.

aw shucks
I'll still be playing him, q1 is my fav shooter of all time

anarki has quakeworld style movement if that's what you're looking for
ranger is still a solid character with no real cons and can strafe jump easily

i got my key thursday
tell me about weapons, are they the same across all the heroes
how do they work

they're the same across all heroes
as of last beta lightning gun and railgun are the best weapons

Then it's FFA with the same 20 people and one or two randoms that just picked the game up, not much better.

that's quake 2 not quake live

RED FLAG HAS BEEN DROPPED.

just got my key but it seems the login page is down, anyone else have this problem? account.bethesda net/en/login

try turning off ublock and noscript

Who here plays Reflex? I wish I could get into it, but the crazy CPMA style air movement in the game is too spastic for my taste. You just move around the map so fucking fast compared to Q3. The art style of the game is hard to appreciate as well.

Is the game simply better than Quake Live once you get a hang of it? Maybe I need to give it another chance.

Having issues. I have 2 keys and cant remember the login info on either account. The whole forgot blah blah is being really slow

Quake Live supports CPM style movement anyways.

Maybe my accounts are Zenimax only from ESO? I think I need to make a new account

>not rocket launcher

fuck

did people forget how to lead the target or something

It has an annoying delay when you fire as of last beta no idea if they removed it yet

There isn't much point to it now that it blew its load prematurely by releasing quietly into Early Access way too early, and then doing the exact same thing for a full release after tossing in matchmaking that has zero impact on new player experience with the playerbase in the state that it is. By the time they added (shitty) bots or anything resembling a way for new players to get into the game anyone who wasn't a diehard fan had already stopped caring about it.

RL has never been the best weapon. Will always lack the consistency of hitscan.
but "best weapon" isnt right either, since they all have a time and place.

6 hours until we back in the shit, fellow quaker oats


if they deleted my fre eperma champ and her cosmetics gonna fucking go REEEE on some fools ya feel me dogs aw ye you feel me

Have a free key to Quake Champs. $5 amazon gets it

get a job hippie

I'll sell you 2000 keys for $3 each :)

Deal

>not getting your key legitimately by signing up day 1 with your AOL address, connecting via dialup

why didn't they give the guy from quakeworld the movement of quakeworld?

because ranger is the standard

bah

this shift can't end soon enough
I wanna go home and frag people
what were the queue times last time

>got quake key from a friend
>cant log in to bethesda site

fucking hell, i dread to see what kind of shit show the game will be if even the net site is crumbling under the load

try disabling adblocks and such, had the same problem

instantly worked, thanks
now i feel stupid

no problem bud

>feeling stupid because bethesda has the worst website design currently on the internet

No website should EVER function that way

are they not putting out a patch this time?

>got a key after already buying one on kinguin

This happened with me too.Bought it from a russian site now got a key.Gonna give it away to somebody here.

problygonna hand off to a disc friend

looks like I'm just going to have to buy a key. Sucks.

You guys still play UT2k4?
What about the new UT4?

real quake champions thread happening on /v/

1 more hour

Would if ut2004 was cheaper

>10 EUR on gog

come on user, i know you could spend some of your neetbux to this great game

Last time I checked it was 20 dollars.
The game is too old to be charging that for a digital copy that doesn't require use of official servers

UT4's DM is a shitfest and that's all there really is right now so that's a hard no on UT4, I'd still be playing 2k4 if there were players on anything outside of demo DM_Rankin and ONS_Torlan servers hosted from mud hut countries. I want to play Assault and Bombing Run again.

why is it 21st but the shit is STILL not up

40 minutes dummy, do you even into clocks?

the fuck is ET time do i look like a fucking alien

kek

...

...

tell me about visor, why does he wear that mask?

jew from 2nd ww who now has to wear a mask with tons of filters

the hell you talking bout, 40 mins have past still no conection

>offline
rip game

rip

wtf they didn't wipe accounts

why would they
its not even open beta

they did for the last one

>used to play q3 arena casually with friends
>for some reason I usually dominated, even though I'm average on all other games
>probably would've gotten shit on if I ever played online, but whatever
>just got a champions beta key because my friend signed me up
What am I in for? Any general info/tips? Any and all info welcome, thanks in advance!

>255 ping with the freeze still not fixed
oh well guess i'm not gonna play this,not sure why the game needs that much upload

WHY DO I GET BLACK SCREEN REEE

What's new? Did they add duel mode? Any other modes? Does zooming in still do more damage? Is the Rocket Launcher still laggy?

Also, if you could post any in-game footage it would be highly appreciated.

anyone need a code? have an extra one.

sweet
maybe ill get to buy one of those 200 crystal gun skins, i scrapped like 110 last beta

I'll have a look once I'm in.

only 300 more people in front of me

no new modes, rocket launcher still broken, zooming still does more damage. Dont think they changed a thing other than 8 person games instead of 10.

fixed it, just change the resolution

you're in for getting hit by shit that didnt hit you on your screen

w-wheres my key

6C3x-C2AQ-F8QU-Q4YQ-M39X
4Q2x-E8GB-Y4HN-N4QA-H27Y

x = N

I bought one but thanks for posting them anyways.

Can confirm nothing changed except they reduced the number of people on maps so they feel less crowded.

Oh well.. duel would have been nice. Thx for sharing!

thanks anonymous, got the top one

Just got my key but don't have the time to invest into beta right so you can have it

7M2x-P8DY-B7EX-G6KA-K24Q

x = P

still a laggy piece of shit i see. unfortunate.

>laggy

I have 200fps with a rx480, and 60 ping

i have 48 ping and people are rubber banding all around. maybe it;s just a shit server but it's annoying as fuck.

that alone is pretty good

deathmatches only have 8 people now
................

There's a massive clusterfuck of players that don't have their own servers yet right now.
Other players lagging has always caused warping in QL, by the way.

>century long loading screen and/or freezing black screen
>memory leaks
>mfw memory usage gets to 95% and climbing

Where's Carmack when you need 'em?

in debt

u just g0t pwnd by the smoaker

wut

Can you hear me?

I have that as well. I'm getting killed around corners sometimes against the LMG.

Also the delay on the RL has to go. It triggers me so fucking bad.

>the 255 ping and freeze goes away if i set resolution scaling to 150%
what in the flying fuck
also having only 60 fps game feels like unresponsive piece of shit

anyone got a mirror link or some webm footage of the beta

all youtube vids are getting flagged within 5 minutes of being uploaded, and my game just hasn't been loading for the past 15 minutes.

anyone else stuck on the screen with the quake symbol and the loading thing just spinning and spinning

No reason to play QC over QL

played five games - enough to feel relief that I've done it. Don't bother otherwise. Played QL

t. 2100 elo duel

according to the community forums basically everyone

I just got in now, first attempt of the day. My account wasn't wiped either.

>frag limit changed to 50
>spend more time in queue than in game
>game is still a laggy piece of shit
literally why?
i dont want your dumb xp and frag limits
i just want to kill
custom matches when

just watch the official video with zero4

sadness

>All these Rangers running at me in a straight line with the starter MG.

I feel bad for killing them over and over and over.
