it seems like a running gag in these threads

>br2?
yes I like brazilian girls too

bridge to rail on dm6 (blood covenant)

you can google it

short for bridge to rail, a movement trick used on Q3DM6 (Campgrounds in q3/ql, Blood Covenant in QC) to get to the railgun platform from the bridge via strafejumping

Anarki can just do it in one circle jump starting at stairs

aight gotcha

Reminder that you aren't a true quaker if you can't b2r. Backwards. With your monitor turned off.

Reminder that you aren't a true quaker if you can't b2r in your dreams

Reminder that you aren't a true quaker if you don't call other players casual scum

Reminder that you aren't a true quaker if you enjoy mobaquake

Reminder that you aren't a true quaker if you enjoy anything at all

get your mind out of the gutter

>get your mind out of the gutter

??????????????????????????

oh maybe i should take my own advice

aerowalk is a fun map

Quality thread

THERES NO SUCH THING AS FUN

Everyone's just waiting for QC and Sorlag nudes.

ones that don't have tits

youtube.com/watch?v=ztDf81jQvW4
who needs cpma

>sore leg nudes
i can provide :y

>Sorlag fag making the thread one post early to ensure their shit character is in the OP.
typical

Reminder Quakeworld night is this Sunday at 5PM PDT

Also if you don't have Quakeworld, download nQuake from the OP.

How much of this thread is actual oldschool players and how many of it is just young people that think they're leet for playing Quake Live?

my first arena shooter was overwatch

I played ut99 and then q3a a lot but I'm not very good at shooty in general

that said I don't see anything wrong with people starting out now and you shouldn't either

fucking newbs don't deserve to enjoy these games

This will weed out the babies.

I would like peoples opinions on the following games, feel free to have any opinion you would like.

Quake Live
Quake Champions(lol)
Ratz Instagib(lol)
Diabotical
Reflex
CPMA
Toxikk(lol)

jokes on you, i didn't even like QL

Don't just say you can provide, just do it for the greater good

>Quake Live
shit
>Quake Champions(lol)
shit
>Ratz Instagib(lol)
shit
>Diabotical
shit
>Reflex
shit
>CPMA
shit
>Toxikk(lol)
shit

why are you even reading this thread then?

What a coincidence. I was in the process of making a poll for this and then accidentally hit page back on my mouse and couldn't be bothered to do over.
I suspect most of the people in this thread are from other genres and are trying QC.

Decent
Shit but has potential
Instagib lul
idk
Good
Good
idk

I like team fortress

>Quake Live
Too old for me now. Can't be expected to enjoy this after all these years.
>Quake Champions(lol)
Its alright as a casual afps assuming bugs are fixed. I'm a duel player though. So quite naturally I'll dislike it as is.
>Ratz Instagib(lol)
Never played it. Not a fan of instagib.
>Diabotical
I backed it but that was because I was under the impression that the game was gonna be more different from Quake games than it seems to be now. I'm sure they're keeping features secret though. James knows you need to not let people speculate on features in this genre. They're very negative.
>Reflex
Sadly devs are very bad at communication. And they'd need some guidance. Rumor has it there's a big patch in the works. Could be good, I like the game overall. But it's squandered opportunity as is. I think among the games that are out right now its the biggest hope for the gameplay I enjoy.
>CPMA
Like it quite a bit. But netcode is pretty meh (not as bad as QC mind you). It's inferior to Reflex in how its less approachable. But the better players still play it. I think its at great risk from Reflex taking it out if they get their shit together.
LG op.
>Toxikk(lol)
I don't like UT movement. Pretty much required you do that if you wanna play this.

>get reflex
>bsods 2 times while doing the training
>able to get one match in 30 mins of waiting and i bsod after being killed 4 times quickly

nice game, have never had a bsod from anything else on this os install

refunded

>games from 2010 are too old
r00fles!

Is there even an arena shooter for linux?

what is UT movement even like?
iiirc there's some fancypants dodge and slide buttons

Yeah it's called Quake 3

UT99 is like quake if there was zero air control whatsoever and you had weights strapped to your feet
also you can't bind a key specifically for dodging and have to double tap

I've been playing fps since 1996, only once took multiplayer seriously during ut2004, been playing casually since

>you'll never play ut99 on 56kbps again

you're now hearing the dialup noise

>too old
It's extremely similar to Q3A. That was 1999, I started playing it that year. And yeah I think it's entirely reasonable to find a game getting old after 7 years if you play them. 5 years even.

played original Quake sp, skipped Q2, Q3 arena and UT99 I liked UT more, later moved to battlefield games and played it before it went to shit, last few years Planetside 2 because I'm masochistic apparently

so technically I'm a quake dad but not really. QC is like re living my teen gaming years but I'm afraid I'm too old to git gud, I will try tho.

>dice
wot

we have a homphobe who doesnt like dicks in this general

>It's extremely similar to Q3A
just like all those other quake clones except they're dead

you're not a quake daddy just because you played it when it was new

We need webums of b2r with all different champs.

Only play it for the population.
Only play it to 4 man pubstomp.

Easter at the 2gd studio: they're drawing memes on eggs and making them fight.
Lost hope.
Where the ( ( ( REAL SHIT ) ) ) goes down.
That deathmatch template that was released with UDK a few years ago.

>just like all those other quake clones
Except not. QL is in practice just a weapon re-balance ignoring certain technical aspects. Sure there's a lot of crappy quake clones, but we normally don't consider those. None of the games on that list fit that description.

>Fixed an issue where Gauntlets produced excessive damage
>Made improvements to address a delay found when firing the Rocket Launcher

Nothing about netcode?
>Added additional sound effects
>Fixed Obelisk explosion sound
S L I P G A T E

...

Diabotical, Reflex, CPMA are all quake 3 clones. One is literally just a quake 3 mod.

overwatch isnt an arena shooter

Nice

samefags.

quakedads.

ok user

It's a better game.

Reflex has a lot of activity atm. If you wanna play.

>rapha likes QC
>fatal1ty likes QC
>clampok likes QC
>toxic likes QC
>carnage like QC
>random bitter quake dad on vg doesn't like QC
you are irrelevant, go take your Alzheimer meds and go to sleep

>like
user have you listened to these people? Saying rapha likes QC is very inaccurate. He has said that Duel is a boring mode but he can see other gamemodes working out. I haven't listened to carnage or toxic on the game yet but clampok and fatal1ty aren't the most honest people.
