First for 2v2 is the future of Quake-like afps.

I wish more people played Xonotic.

>implying you can stay competitive at 60hz

>implying straight reaction time matters as much as knowing where your opponent will likely be and expecting him to be there

That guy is much better than me with projectiles but seems much worse with hitscan.

>tri rox

Ddk is not bad with either. The plasma early on was just a bit lucky. Also 2gd is pretty shit at dodging it seems. Never seen a man get owned by plasma this much.

let's get this shit started

you didn't even put any fucking effort into it

>game is more moba than quake

>nobody anywhere is claiming any other game to have invented these things
>just that quake champions gameplay elements are similar to other games rather than quake
>(You) HURRRRRRR YOU THINK OVERWATCH INVENTED CLASSES, DURRRR YOU THINK COD INVENTED KILLSTREAKS, WE NEED TO GO LE DEEPER, HURRRRR UT INVENTED DIFFERENT FORMS OF MOVEMENT

>google it
it looks like a slower quake 3, i saw it was a fork of nexuis or something but i never played that even in it's hayday

doom invented looking horizontally

The game is not more any of those things than it is Quake though.

stop eating like a noob you faggot

QC is quake only in name. Nothing about it plays like Quake and they intend on throwing in some irrelevant "classic" mode to cover their bases.

QC is Quake with abilities and different speed and hp/ap stats. Other than that it plays exactly like Quake.

>other than all gameplay elements unique to quake are gone it plays just like quake

>quake only in the name
i cant believe people can be so deluded
its LITERALLY quake with characters and minor weapon changes
remove that, and it will play no differently than older games

Reminder Quake 4 is objectively faster paced than Quake 3.

So are all Quakes after the first not Quake because they don't have air control or 999 damage LG?

name one element unique to quake

youtu.be/ofOLi9ZtU2k
I don't think this is slower. This map may be slightly slower. This guy is obsessed with that guided rocket launcher but I don't think it's slower really.

character based abilities

>this whole thread

These aren't minor changes. The game plays completely different and nothing like Quake, at all.

A minor movement and a minor weapon balance doesn't fundamentally change movement and weapon usage as it does in QC.
It isn't one it's the combination of gameplay elements all gone or butchered.

do you want to talk about sorlag?

>bunny hopping to strafe jumping is minor movement
retard alert

If I see him streaming Battlegrounds still after the NDA lifts I'm gonna laugh

There's a whole group of QW edgelords that say the series went downhill after the first game because muh air control, it definitely isn't just a minor change.

You didn't specifically state bunny hopping retardo. And tell me how bunny hopping is better than strafe jumping. Strafe jumping is a straight upgrade to movement.

watch some of his more recent afps videos, he sucks now. especially at ut.

I'm well aware of this but that doesn't help their point when a relatively minor physics change is held in such contempt, QC is far more egregious in such changes.

Have you ever even played Quakeworld or CPMA? Air control is a total gamechanger.

>Strafe jumping is a straight upgrade to movement.
Explain yourself.

sorry, i don't play special snowflake bullshit mods made by 15 year old hobbyists

Yeah you clearly don't play anything and just shitpost.

>i don't play special snowflake bullshit
well you are playing afps in 2017

Everyone is allowed to use it equally so I disagree with it being anywhere near the level of QC

Bunny hopping is a clunky version of strafe jumping.

>clunky
>less buttons to press
>has air control
>fluid as fuck

Don't enable shitposters.

>waah someone has a different opinion than me
>b-better call it a shitpost
if you want a hugbox circlejerk, this is not the website for you. try the official quake champions discord

...

There's no button press disadvantage. You press two keys simultaneously while also being able to perform any other action required instantly. You also have far more granular control over ramping up the speed and direction of your movement. If I want to change directions? Look slightly the other direction.

>le game is overwatch because it has classes ECKSDEE
>I-I swear I'm n-not shitp-p-posting!

...

where exactly did i say that? i only said that i don't play shitty mods made by amateurs

you are stupid

I want sorlag to lay me like an egg

...

...

You don't play anything because Quakeworld is not a mod.
You are stupid.

i want slash to flip me like a table

it is a modification of the original game, quake. what did you think 'mod' stood for?

You are stupid.

>QuakeWorld is an official Multiplayer source port made by id Software for Quake.

>Source ports are modifications of a game's source code that add extra features, such as improved graphics.

You don't know what Quakeworld is.
You are stupid.

refer to you are stupid

fabiensanglard.net/quakeSource/johnc-log.aug.htm

it's a mod of quake, what is your problem?

Is there any way to get simple textures in QC? Fuck this modern cancer, it's nothing but distracting visual clutter.

agree

disagree

quakeworld is nothing more than a netcode update for quake with slightly increased air control
enjoy your (you)

>update
as in 'modification of the original code'? yes, that is correct.

So uhm I missed the leaks. Where are they?

nyx gets a new passive where she sits on my face

so, were the abilities in qc and original idea or did the devs get inspired by some other game?
because absolutely no one in the community asked for them

ranger loses all his spoken lines and the rest of his audio is replaced with q1 pain sounds and HUH

>ywn see her cumming

sorlag is actually male

soon™

I smell bullshit.

>soon™
yeah the scene got complicated, but I'm aiming for friday before "tech test" starts, still alot of work to do

jesus fucking christ please tell me you're not ruining it with futa

this

People like you should be gassed
>REEEEEEEE THIS GAME SUCKS IT HAS ACTUAL TEXTURES
>REEEEEEEE THIS GAME SUCKS IT HAS NO TEXTURES IT'S LIKE A N64 OR UNITY GAME

Wow, why are you so angry?

...

I don't mind the pretty textures but I wish I could reduce the particle effects further.

dropped

don't finish that drawing then

>ruin

Is that Slash?

futafags remove yourselves

those are roller blades so yes

ANY porn would suffice right now since there's basically none for QC and plenty of opportunities.

I just want cute Galena trying on modest dresses in an embarrassed scowl

all I ask for is ranger mercilessly plowing nyx's slipgate

>censor it
>anons automatically think it's futa
never change 4chin

That's what I figured, just making sure.

I want her to kneel and 'beg for forgiveness', if you know what I mean.

31 years old and I always pull 201 ms or lower on that test

>imb4 grandpas can game

I was a lot faster 10 years ago

>it's not
praise the lord

I take all back everything I said
godspeed you magnificent bastard

...

forgot to save that one last time
thanks mate

it isn't futa? DD:

>tfw you do everything perfectly in defrag then fuck up right near the end of a run
I will never be good at going fast.

>tfw after hours you hit that perfect run
>get it to just under 30 seconds
>you can't possibly see how you could improve it
>check up the best time on that map
>its 12 seconds

Is it possible to increase the crosshair size in quakespasm?
