>that feel when you will never be that leather strap edition.
A place to discuss all of your favorite old-school and modern arena shooters such as Quake Live, Quake Champions, Unreal Tournament, Reflex, etc.
CURRENT Q:C NEWS: Still waiting for the damn hotfix/patch as of 8/14. Some of the things that were supposedly fixed in the last patch actually weren't- surprised? You shouldn't be. Think happy thoughts. Or don't, everything is fucked anyway. If you're thinking lewd thoughts, please write them down to share with the class.
We'll make it, boys. One way or another, we'll make it

just doesn't look the same without the piss yellow color

Somebody redpill me on Q2 versus Q3/Q1 I watched the last tastyspleen tournament and a lot of people seem adamant Q2 is the GOAT Quake
It really just seems to me like Q3 with even more busted weapon balance and slightly more trickjumps
Nathan Johnson
muh rails
Colton Fisher
how is the weapon balance busted when its the only Quake where you use more than 3 weapons? i really wish the rockets were faster but it fills a niche role and makes weapons like the SSG more viable >slightly more trickjumps what did he mean by this quake 3 only has strafe jumping quake live's double jump already marks a big improvement over 3
Benjamin Jenkins
>quake 3 only has strafe jumping Plasma Climbing Overbouncing
Very prominent in Defrag
Alexander Parker
anyways to continue you look at a map like the edge, the rage, and chastity belt and it's very acrobatic with lots of jumps and angles that would just never work in VQ3 and some of the ports of these maps are a big example of this they really have to be simplified and everything made huge compared to Q2 where you have a lot of tight areas with jumps you can do all over
plasma climbing is hardly used aside from maybe ZTN and overbouncing is only really used in defrag and q2 also has its own set of jump maps which show how acrobatic it can be
also forgot to mention a big aspect of Q2 is how control heavy it can be which is a love or hate thing a big focus is on controlling weapons since they respawn every 30 seconds which is why other weapons like the SSG and hyperblaster (which pierces one level of armor) are really useful when out of control

people just aren't ready for gender neutral bathrooms and DIVERSITY I guess
Juan Brooks
It could be worse. We could have Cliffy B in charge of our game.
Gabriel Harris
I bet those gender neutral bathrooms don't even have brush-built toilets.
Aiden Perry
Where would the DIVERSITY bathrooms be on the QC maps?
Charles Moore
Whenever you think QC is dead, think of Lawbreakers
Truly the "at least I'm not Anthony Burch" of FPS
Jonathan Fisher
how do I get my quake to look like this? Got the steam version and it's dark/small/15fps animations
Liam Parker
Use a sourceport. I recommend Quakespasm if you're playing singleplayer stuff, ezquake/nquake for multiplayer. Don't put both sourceports in the same directory because they won't play nice with each other, make separate folders for each port and just copy the \id1 folder.
Landon Gonzalez
You gotta download Quakespasm I think, there's instructions on how to set it up to make your quake look gr8 and play gr8
Lucas Morales
goodmorning /arena/ how are ya'll doing.
Aiden Brown
quake 1 port when?
Tyler Morales
*shivers*
Josiah Lopez
terrible. Servers are offline with no announcements made. Best case scenario they finished the patch early and wanted to release it as soon as possible. Worst case is Zenimax decided to pull the plug. Probably just someone tripping over the power cord. r-right?
Aaron Moore
yeah I just noticed that too, WTF Zenimax/id at least give me a heads up.
Hunter Robinson
Just use a sourceport, ya doof. It's neat that beth/id/saber/whoever managed to make better looking updated enemy models (and pretty darn good weapon models) than 20 years of fan attempts, but I wouldn't want a remake of the whole game.
Daniel Scott
I thought maybe they were just doing maintenance, but usually there's a quick explanation given before or just after the server outage. On top of that I don't tend to see server maintenance for other games last nearly this long, it's usually over in less than 15min (it's getting close to an hour now).
John Carter
SERVERS ARE DOWN POST CUTE GIRLS
Jacob Bell
So what'll the patch fix this time? What will it break this time?
Brandon Wright

also since something is happening to old mixtape uploads, remove the old showcase from the link in the OP and replace it with this one: my.mixtape.moe/qebphk.webm no fucking way in hell I'm rerecording it with updated firing speed for slow weapons, this shit was tedios to create enough as it was
Jayden Davis
>So what'll the patch fix this time? It'll fix the current crash issues because they found out that when slash was wearing a specific cosmetic, anarki had a specific shader applied to his nailgun, and sorlag use acid spit and then walk backward for 1 second, left for 2, hop twice and the switch to her shotgun, a random client connected to the server would crash.
>What will it break this time? With this patch if sorlag has rocket launcher equipped while using acid spit, the game will crash. It will also take them a full month to untangle the massive amount of spaghetti code causing the crash, only for everyone at id to groan in frustration because they will find that some Saber intern didn't bother to properly define the variable that was added to fix the previous crash.
I hope to god I'm wrong
Jacob Diaz

Isaac Cook
when are they gonna add lewder outfits for the females?
Nathaniel Cooper
It's minor shit. Basically fixing instability issues the last patch introduced
I haven't gotten crashes in a while, but I know a lot of people get them

Anthony Murphy

Nathan Allen
animations are overdone so you can actually tell whats going on. If mercy was just smiling a bit and pushin a bit of air our her nose noone would fucking know what she was doing it also really helps if you have the sounds to go along with the animation
Jordan Morales
nope, didn't see any updates on twitter but I still tested it just for you user

Servers are kill for QC, though Though sub-700 daily peaks are still embarrassing. People were calling Battleborn dead when it was pulling considerably more than that
Brody Myers
as long as the skins aren't stupid ass shit like "frankestien ranger" or "zombie galena" then halloween should be pretty cool
Noah Collins
>as long as the skins aren't stupid ass shit like "frankestien ranger" or "zombie galena Can't be any stupider than "Ranger with a Shambler's head fashioned into a mask" or "Doomguy with a Cacodemon hat"
Jonathan Clark
pumpkin head for ranger witch hat for galena 'trick or treat' sign for niggerki paper bag mask for slash cheap looking paper mask for clutch inflatable hammer for bj groucho glasses for visor puppy ears and nose for snorelag (like that dumb instagram filter) actual astronaut helmet for scarborough skeletal wings for nyx toilet paper backpack for doomguy
Parker Thomas
>paper bag mask for slash RUDE
Aaron Kelly
Barefoot Nyx and open roller sandals Slash would be great desu
Jack Harris
For the life of me I can't understand what footfags see in feet
Xavier Allen
Friendly reminder for fapfags and seriousfags
Anthony Sullivan
I just want the skins to be able to be used year-round, like still being relevant to halloween, but not exclusive to it also not have them have the tf2 thing where you can only wear them on full moons or halloween pretty much everything said would be fucking stupid to see any other part of the year
Nolan Gray
i never understood what grrl was supposed to represent
Oliver Lee
Maybe a passing reference to "Riot grrl", a feminist movement back in the 90s. The skin itself doesn't have much in common with that though
Bentley Cook
shes a fucking wookie you morons animal grr(l)
Jonathan Young
'grrl' being a combination of 'grr' and 'girl', with 'grr' being a snarl, implying ferocity.
It's basically a pretty shitty pun.

good lord imagine being one of the devs, all those long nights creating assets, textures animations etc game goes live and it slides into the abyss within a few weeks, its name will become a punchline like Brink .
Brody Thompson
Just wondering - getting back into quake... WMO sensor vs 3366 sensor - is it worth the purchase?
apart from max tracking speed, is there any difference? I've heard quite a bit about MLT04 and deadzones etc and how the newer sensors are better but desu i never noticed an improvement when i bought the old zowie FK, and the shitty buttons made me go back to the WMO.
Unfortunately I live in fucking australia so you can't return anything once you open it so I really need to research what mice might be appropriate.
Mason Jenkins
lock box is the reason we need GL back
Luis Perry
Never used the WMO, but I'm temporarily using the G400s, which uses the S3095 sensor, while waiting for my replacement G403 to arrive. So far I haven't been able to make it spin out and I can't tell the difference sensor-wise. If you've got crazy flicks that sometimes don't register, you might want to upgrade.
Otherwise, it's mostly ergonomics, additional buttons and quality of life stuff.
Landon Smith
Oscar the grouch Tardbearer T-9000 Clutch Slave Leia Galena (call it empress Galena or something) Countess Dracula Nyx Ghost Sorlag (She wears a bed sheet with two eye-holes cut in it, not my idea another user's from a while ago) Naughty Nun Hunter Catwoman Slash or Frankenstein's bride Slash Boogeyman Ranger Normal Visor (pre-whatever the fuck operation they did to make him murder-slav-bot) SS officer BJ Aristocrat Anarki
Camden White
Does the ghost have a tail OwO

Of course her tail sticks out from the sheet it would be so fucking adorable
