"YOU LET IT DIE RETARDS! HERE YOU HAVE SOME AS PUNISHMENT" 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: Couple esports™ tournaments going on this week. Twitch drops are apparently clegged up so no more multiple free chests per day, booo. Rumor mill sez the November patch- if it happens- won't be any content changes, just performance stuff, so expect the reign of Doomguy and Anarki to continue. Suicide is always the answer.
> - hitscan based weaponry > - cover-based gameplay > - horizontal maps. Unfortunately nope. Hitscans are always weak or tricky in arena shooters. Also, maps are VERY vertical and multi-layered - the best recent example would be Champgrounds - QC version of Campgrounds.

just let it die RIP arena
Jackson Howard
I went to have some dinner and I came back to a death thread, what the FUG?
Mason Collins
Counter Strike is technically allowed here, and technically speaking is a lot more similar to Gears than it is to Quake or Unreal. I say let'em
Jackson Ortiz
Is bunny hopping even a thing anymore? I don't see many people doing it on QL.
Ryder Wood
Bunny hopping is used for Quakeworld and CPMA. The mechanic used to pick up speed in Q2 and Q3 is called strafe jumping.
Brayden Gray
I've seen a lot of people just running around, rather than jumping these past few days.
Leo Rivera
they are brainlets
Grayson Gomez
Come join Quakeworld MegaTF tastyspleen.net::MegaTF Classics (74.86.171.201:27502)
Grayson Price
Have you been contacted by the Quake account yet? Contest rules say they'd be contacting artists on the 3rd, not gotten anything yet. Starting to worry.
We all need to agree on a single game. Imagine if all those fragmented quake clones were put on a single server list. So yeah, go play CPMA
Gavin Perez
/arena/ already has an official main game
Ayden Smith
Last franchise I saw try to do that ended up putting out a game where less than half of the game was well done.
When you have multiple games with different physics it's usually not a good idea to try to put them on the same package, especially if you don't have a wizard like Carmack making sure it's all right.

AMD codes for Quake Champions still work and give the same amount of content as the $30 Steam bundle, right?
Henry Jones
I haven't checked that myself but some other user last thread said the AMD deal wasn't very good because it gave you less shit or something like that.
Oliver Price
Really? Maybe you get less loot boxes or some bullshit like that but the AMD deal seems to give you access to every existing and future hero.
Zachary Thomas
Judging by that one part of The New Colossus, this glitch for BJ seems appropriate.
Carter Hall
You should probably wait for someone else to respond, but that's what I saw someone else say.
Benjamin Cook
DON"T fucking make threads anymore you worthless arenafaggots.
Jason Scott
Fuck you nigger I do what I want!
Thomas Scott
Wow you little stinky faggot I will bitch slap your sorry fat ass after school, your fucking dead nerd.
Luis Perry

So is the plot of Scourge of Armageddon basically the same as Doom 2's plot?

What techniques from the multiplayer are useful in the SP for the games that this applies?
Thomas Nguyen
Pretty much everything. Aiming, advanced movement, etc.
Parker Cook
I've always wondered how the bots aiming works, like, I know you can doge projectiles, but does moving around fast also help avoid hitscan shots from the enemies?
Luke Sanchez
Most enemies will have a turn radius, so yes
Angel Torres
Rocket jumping, circlejumping and bunnyhopping/strafejumping when speedrunning Q1 and Q2. Otherwise, it's pretty much general stuff. SP games are pretty slow and casual, so hitscan-heavy games like CS:GO would probably help more.
Ryder Cooper
Also keep in mind bunnyhopping is noticeably less effective in most Q1 singleplayer ports, as they're based off NetQuake which has slightly different physics compared to the later Quakeworld multiplayer rules (namely QW has no required frame of friction when the player touches the ground, meaning it's easier to gain and keep speed, while NQ forces the player to actually 'touch' the ground for an instant after each jump).
David Cook
It probably isn't that big of a deal when you are the only one speeding around anyway.
Austin Smith
Yeah, Quake Done Quick/Quicker/Quickets/Plaid/etc look snazzy and all but plain rocketjumping is enough to either skip or outright break massive parts of the id1 maps because none of them were designed with it in mind (other than the one secret level exit with a hole in the floor to grenade-jump off).
Jonathan Reed
I'm sure the expansions have more uses for them, they seem to make better use of Quake's hot new technologies for the time a lot better than the vanilla game.
William Cruz
>won my first FFA by hitting the fraglimt WE'RE ALL GONNA MAKE IT, BROS
Ayden Bell
QC won't make it lmao

why are you such a debbie downer user
Luis Rodriguez
>ow Delet THAT
Gabriel Gutierrez
You just haven't been disappointed enough. A month from now, you'll be like me.
Lucas Myers

Kevin Wilson
i didn't know it's from overwatch, never played it. my apologies.
Jonathan Cook
Nice counter. Now the ones accusing you have to explain how they know it's from OW
Aaron Gonzalez
>tfw QC will die before you get a chance to play it
Brody Green
Nah. When it goes F2P, you will at the very least have people to frag. Mostly fresh blood, too. The game WILL get a second wind, regardless of how long it lasts
Aaron Young
Unless the game was godly optimized for toasters I'll need it to live for at least a couple of years.
Jackson Wood

Elijah Murphy
Well, fuck. Hopefully you get $ soon user
Jeremiah Johnson
but i've been playing since the first closed beta already
Brody Bailey
>"Get 50 Machinegun Kills" and "Get 50 Kills with the Machinegun or Heavy Machinegun" are separate runes >still not sure if the former tracks both or just the starter MG
Jace James
I'm sure it'd help them to have a cracked version somewhere so people can get an idea of the performance of the game at this time.
Adam Cox
>Leave for a day >/arena/ dies Shiiiiieeeeeeeet
Landon Edwards
Goodnight /arena/, you faggots better not let the thread die again!
Luis Nelson
Do you like the q3 rl skin /arena/? Thinking of buying it
Owen Price
Ehhh. Honestly from the mid-section forward the default RL looks more like the Q3A RL than the 'q3 rl skin' does (Q3-AA?).
Eli Walker
Guess i will keep saving up even more shards then
Charles Thomas
Join the club. I've got like 7,000 shards and nothing to spend them on because I already have alternate models for every weapon except the tri-bolt, because fuck the tri-bolt and can only unlock attachments for my waifus from duplicate drops.
Noah Collins
I only like its sound.
Tyler Williams
Q3 RL is the ugliest skin in the game >looks almost nothing like the RL from Q3 >the rocket cylinders don't animate It looks like the GL from Serious Sam
Hunter Lewis
Q1 RL da best
Connor Morris
But it looks like a weird penis
Ryan Myers
you look like a weird penis

Is it possible to get CPMA DM games? I don't want to play duel all the time, but if there's a chance of DM or TDM I'm up for it.
Aaron Gray
Sure. It's possible.
Henry Gutierrez
I miss Twitch drops.
Parker Ortiz
Why are you not playing QC right now?
Grayson Reyes
I'm not playing again until they fix ROF being tied to framerate. You need to get 140FPS to have the LG behave as it was supposed to do. Fuck that
Also, as soon as they fix it, people will notice the "new LG" isn't bad at all, it's just that for most people it was not hitting at the proper speed. It will be a boon to both its DPS and the pinning ability of the weapon
Evan Walker

Michael Hughes

Oliver Nelson
Watching dota. I enjoy QC but it can't hold me for too long, a few games at a time at the most. Hopefully I can get more into it as performance improves.
Austin Cook
I have this weird problem with QC where it would turn off my entire PC but the fans would still spin and then when I restart it won't let me log in until the match I've played has ended.
What's weird is that it's not an overheat and only started happening after I switched the motherboard/cpu and the absolute strangest part is that it only does it once per day, never more.
So that and the fact that I still rage a lot at some of the things that happen in this game (retard anarki gauntlets and so on).
Zachary Bailey
le ebin non-AMD sabotage
Parker Turner
>I enjoy QC but it can't hold me for too long, a few games at a time at the most. Same here, the bullshit bugs and crashing makes it very hard to play qc for longer periods of time
Jose Peterson
You know what would easily fix the LG? Increase the "projectile" size. Hell, let's increase the projectile size of both shotguns, SNG, and railgun. And change RA and MH to go at least 75 over your normal max health/armor. Would make the game more consistent and less missed-shot haven.
Ayden Johnson
Typically you can't make hitscan tracers thiccer. You would need to program a cylinder coming off your view origin to collide with the target or something
It think it would make the game feel kinda gross. Hitscan already lands instantly, which is a massive advantage. Don't make it even dumber
More simulatory games have bullets with a collision box, but you also need to lead just about everything, and the distance to lead changes with every distance change
Owen Butler
Clawz and Voo are playing
Brandon Brooks
>italian esports open What's this? I'm surprised there are organizers who fell for the QC meme.
Eli Rogers
All that lagg, how can anyone take this tournament seriously
Jason Hughes
yeah this is no longer nice
Chase Moore
The only decent arena shooters are xonotic warsow maybe reflex if you are faggot
Joseph Robinson
i've been reading trash posts like yours for years
Justin Bennett
I hope that's not coffee
Gavin Powell
It's not coffee, it's warm Pepsi.
also source of that gif even tho its most likely not a hentai?
