first for qc best quake

quake is a better game with abilities

quake is a video game

third for shitters crying bitch tears about the F button

if quake were better with abilities how come nobody played it this way until now

check m8 theists

if you need abilities to get kills and you defend them you're a shit tier arena shooter player who needs cod tier killstreaks just to get on the scoreboard.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is peak performance.

more like moba quake haha

it's going to be f2p
it's going to attract overwatch players
it's going to attract lol players
it's going to be full of underage BRs and russians
it's going to be full of hackers and smurf accounts
it's going to cost you real money if you don't want to grind 1000 hours to get the most broken toons

he looks like some exotic russian

if he was russian he would have better aim

so just don't play QC and play QL? whats the problem here?

>im a quake oldfag btw
>i think abilities ruin quake
>even though they are on a 40 sec cd and useless if you don't have a brain
>i think id is ruining the game by making it f2p and bringing in all the noobs
>even though it just means more fresh blood for my amusement
>this is just an overwatch clone
>even though overwatch is about teamwork and ultimate usage and quake is about fragging
>the game is laggy and unoptimized and its fucking unplayable mess
>even though its a 5 week beta so far
daily reminder that tell everyone who complains about these things that they should git fucking gud

QL is dead as fuck where I live.

stop enjoying Quake Champions

Who let the samefag shitposters in?

>Critique is a bad thing

>QL is dead as fuck

we need to come up with a new colloquial name for QC to make sure newbs realize that it's not really quake

>moba quake
>overquake
>quakewatch
>edgy overwatch
>quake: toons
>f to win quake
>noobquake

do you have any other suggestions?

the IP count isn't going up but new shitposts keep being made
amazing

>too much going on in le head, can't focus XD

>I need to shit on a new Quake game even tho I can just play my PURE QL in peace
go to bed dad, it's late

>americans waking up
>thread turns to shit

every day

why do they do it?

>americans waking up at three in the fucking morning

>every post I dont agree with is a shitpost
fuck off to reddit you double nigger

>3 am
>waking up
yurop confirmed for retarded

>it's not shitposting because it's MY SPECIAL OPINION
Looks like you're the one who belongs there, friendo.
Fuck off, all arguments in this thread have been shitposting.

>every mod you could ever think of was made for quake spawning nearly every popular fps game in existence today
>but here all we needed was an ability on cooldown
why didn't I think of that

I like how all the QL players are getting ass blasted that no one wants to play their game anymore, so they try to ruin the experience for people who like QC.

lmao'ing at your lives.

its midnight on the west coast

>QL players
it's the UT players

>quake players dont want people playing quake
kill yourself peasant

noobquake isn't really quake

>players actually defending killstreaks in quake
I NEVER WOULD HAVE FUCKING BELIEVED IT

they are content with Quake franchise being dead as fuck as long as they can feel elitist about it, a truly sad and pathetic state of mind

Because they didn't invent it before now silly

>implying what quake and the genre as a whole needed is fucking newbs that ruin the game for dedicated players

rofl'ing @ ur opinion

i bet you're one of those retarded newbs that never played an afps other than call of duty and now pretend they've been quake players since 1994 LOL

defrag is fun especially when you get a speed faster than the other guy in the server

>>implying what quake and the genre as a whole needed is fucking newbs that ruin the game for dedicated players
how is QL ruined exactly? send me some patch notes man, they added abilities?

you are a fucking retard
>i bet you're one of those retarded newbs that never played an afps other than call of duty and now pretend they've been quake players since 1994 LOL
last call of duty was CoD 2 single player in early 00, try again

I honestly don't get the hate, with the addition of abilities, every player no matter how good or bad can get some fragz by pressing F. This makes the game more fun for everyone, it's kind of like crit rockets in Team Fortress 2.

The abilities aren't the fucking problem with the game.
The differences in starting/max health/armour, speed and hitboxes are.

I agree that's even worse but abilities have potential to be just as bad if not worse since they'll keep adding more champs in to turn a profit.

>kind of like crit rockets in tf2
as if anyone but the most brain dead pub players likes those.

>every player no matter how good or bad can get some fragz by pressing F
here's your (you), sonny, don't go spending it all in one place now y'hear?

the different stats are balanced by the fact that some abilities are better than others. have bad stats? get great ability and vice versa.

it's fine as is, it worked for overwatch as well.

>daytime in russia and australia
>shitposting goes into maximum overdrive
hmm...

agreed
there's no fucking reason I should be having to shoot some nigger 3 times more just because he chose a different character and not because he has RA and MH

reminder that anarki can get up to 115 helth, plus a full health. that's like 220 hp

if you can stand his awful voice lines there's no reason not to pick him

so just play QL? whats the problem?

>whats the problem?
everyone will flock to this shitty new quake and i don't want to be alone in quake live, which i spend 10 euros on.
it's not fair

>if you can stand his awful voice lines
I can't and I hate this whole punk theme too, same shit with slash

a. he can get upt to 150
b. mega caps at 200
c. its not gonna matter unless bethesda lets people make servers with no timelimits

people still play quakeworld
QL isnt going anywhere any time soon

slash is cute

>every spawn anarki has some cringelord line queued up
>want to stop hearing him
>make an effort to play better not so I dont die but so I dont have to listen to this fag
god works in mysterious ways.

reminder that if you don't show up to quake 2 this sunday night you are not allowed to complain about arena shooters being dead

>not getting the exclusive 12$ QL deluxe edition that comes with extra arthritis and alzheimers meds
step up

Ask me how I know you're fucking trash at quake.

duuuuude you shooul just like chiiillll duuuuuudddddeeee woah maaaan
COCAIINIUM HAHA DUUUDEEE!!!!

something about map control

Dear god I hope the introduce a way to mute character voices without muting the announcer.

Even the good characters like ranger get grating real quick.

>bones voice lines
GO

>I have a large bone for you to examine

ability dependence

just play visor
you can barely understand what hes saying unless youre pyccкий
plus he has more health, uncapped speed, and wwallhack, which is objectively better

THE CRIME ISSS LIFE

SHREHHH
SHREHHH
just his jump sound

>Dear god I hope the introduce a way to mute character voices without muting the announcer.
make sure to spam them using the ingame feedback button. because voice muting the announcer is fucking bullshit. i don't want to listen to the cringe tier monologues.

>Even the good characters like ranger get grating real quick.
agreed. they should cut the frequency of voice lines by like 40-50%

what music do you listen to while shitting on noobs?

youtube.com/watch?v=w0N4twV28Mw

youtube.com/watch?v=pu4UG8uLHZ8

>plus he has more health
and less armor
>uncapped speed
Which you never have room to use and isn't as useful as rocket jumping doing like 2 damage to you
>and wwallhack, which is objectively better
But far less fun.

>wwallhack
hey its me
vvisor

>tfw dropping some amphetamines and dominating people in QC

youtube.com/watch?v=STnTiNH7a98
youtube.com/watch?v=fMAQiKUvYBA

>love visor
>hate his ability

i refuse to play QC until they add the thinking man's game mode, aka ctf.

did they already announce something about that?

>not harvester

zoomed hmg is severly underrated
zoomed hmg with quad is heavenly

Threadly reminder that pure arena FPS are dead and every nigger whining about QC having characters with different stats and abilities is a hypocrite

zoom dmg bonus is fucking bullshit and you know it

[rattles externally]

>zoomed hmg
Literally a LG with no knockback that you have to decimate your FOV for

>zoom damage bonus
WHAT THE FUCK

when will the NDA be lifted?

idk but they are giving out beta keys like candy so probably soon

There's so much hate in here, post webms of anything

What are some shooters with underrated deathmatch?

>guy in quake(R) discord preaching about how hes a quake vet and quake champions sucks dick and how its not quake

>someone asks him to duel
>he's offered CPM,VQ3,QL,Reflex,Warsow,Toxikk,UT99,UT2k4,Q2,QW, and literally every AFPS to duel in
>he says "duel me in quake champions"

>discord
what happened to irc

>taking anything but cpma

lighting gun unironically takes 0 skill to use and be effective with it
the hitboxes are so mcfuckhuge that even a 5 year old can lock on to people
nerf it now

Try to shoot nyx or galeena, have fun.

play against a decent galena and say that again motherfucker

this game takes for fucking ever to load

so why are you not using it and topfragging instead of complaining like a bitch you are

OH WAIT YOURE TOO BAD EVEN FOR A 0 SKILL WEAPON

>so much hate
I'm working on some Nyx porn to distract the autists here but I'm a tryhard when it comes to drawing so it will take some time

>not slash, galena or sorlag
but why

Don't worry you have until the weekday drought

>pure arena FPS are dead
this is a meme

all the weapons feel like shit

when you combine it with the inconsistent champion movement

game just feels like ass to play. same problem as quake 4 only its intentional rather than a bug
