/arena/ - Arena FPS General

Look at how fucking cute my waifu is edition. Just fucking look. Grud on a greenie she's perfect.

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: Patch coming in December supposedly, sometime post-Dreamhack: one new map, a new character, increased stacks for everyone, various other small things I forgot. Also, Twitch drops are apparently gone. RIP free shit, you gave me many shards.

Loser thread for weenie Galena fans:

Comfy December nights soon, /arena/

Do quake players like overwatch?

>anarki mains

delet this

fun fact: that's menstrual blood on her face

Whose is it? Nyx's? It can't be Slash's.

...

literally the ISIS of QC

>Visor mains

I feel like I'm only playing QC because its free and I didnt have the money for overwatch
I think the game is cool but once I have ow I'm probably going to just uninstall quake

>BJ mains

imo it's fun to play sometimes when you just want something super casual and then you take a 4 month break from it because it kinda gets boring after some time

moira is cute tho

Why are you playing a Quake-style game in that case instead of playing one of the various free to play games that are much closer to Overwatch?

because I wanted to play a shooter and at the time I had forgotten that shit like paladins exists
Now that I've dumped over 200 hours in this game I'm slightly too invested to want to drop it for any game that isnt overwatch.

>once I have ow I'm probably going to just uninstall quake
>having a slim boner and a small dick

you should just play paladins in that case since it's just like OW except it's objectively better and it's free

sorry, I'm a casual.
quake is legit too hard for me to ever be good at.

You see those video links in the OP? Watch the first one. Then watch it again. Then do it. Then do it again.

Stop saving creepy /qa/ memes, too, weirdo.

They released an official statement regarding twitch drops?

No, not a word, but I've had streams going literallt 22/7 for a week and haven't gotten SHIT.

Also the message box thing on Twitch, the one you click for private messages, is grey now for some reason.

but thats way too hard for me to ever do
why do you think im gonna stop playing this game once I have overwatch?
im out of /qa/ memes now.

Slash is cute
CUTE

>All Champions will have increased maximum health and armor.
is this really necessary?
>Hitboxes update... Expect to test in the Jan-Feb., 2018 update.

Why the fuck does the game occasionally auto-respawn you on death, but other times lets you wait as long as you want?

you spelled nyx wrong

>get stupidly lucky with the currently iffy LG and melt someone with it twice in a row
>they switch to Anarki

>Ditching Quake for overwatch

check out the new overwatch map

the gods do not smile upon this thread

sorry i accidentally updated firefox and it's awful now
so now i'm looking into all those alternateives like waterfox and palemoon and etc, any advice?

I'm fine with being casual, and I know I am one.
But thats not really something I can change.

I'm no OW fanboy, but how can you call that micro transaction card game objectively better?

casual or not , after Quake you will likely find Overwatch to be slow and soft , with only brief moments of intensity.

Yeah thats why ill like it more
People move slow enough for me to actually hit them.

paladins has customization which allows different playstyles on the same hero

quick, name me something in OW that is as skill intensive as even something like acrobatics pip?

you'll get bored of having to hold down m1 at shields and getting "outplayed" by shit that requires barely any mechanical skill

has sqztoy been getting thiccer?

Spending her days drinking and eating fastfood does that

excellent

That is probably more enjoyable than any OW map

which quakefu would you most want to see spending their days drinking and eating fast food, /arena/

none of them, thats disgusting

>sarge mains

LUCY

Mynx :'(

I still wonder why they didn't include Mynx but this moe blob?

Cause Mynx is just some pornstar the id devs liked, and Nyx is a pure and a cute.

nyx is just a remake of mynx without the porno backstory and with more weeb

but I don't want more weebshit.

well i guess the only thing you can do at this point is pray to the elder gods that they don't weebify crash and hunter

>moira is cute

So when is the new update coming?

After DHW : )

HUH

...

only way to learn new maps is by playing dm.
they always vote for same maps.
How the fuck am I supposed to learn the maps for duel?

you only play sarnath and dm6 in duel from the dm pool

>can't make custom game
>can't train in dm
They want to play duel in map I don't against players way better than...

>doesnt have the champion pack

>20 minutes into fraggin & chill and she gives you this look

No duel, no game, going back to ql. Enjoy your dead game.

...

...

Quake champions netcode is an embarassment and ruins an otherwise mediocre game
Besides, super detailed hitboxes are kinda pointless in an arena shooter

...

"pathetic"

>goes back to clan arena live
we're all dead here

Strogg hero or map WHEN. It's like they don't give a shite about Quake 2

info next week.. in game magazines...

at least ql has elo on some servers

atleast they're mentioned by name. I just want another continuation of the Strogg story, and not something like quake wars

giv hunter pusy

honestly qc tilts me so hard that ow feels great, because the shots actually register, the game runs smoothly, and the hitboxes fucking make sense.

HUH

Is there a better Quakefu? I think not.

Pretty sure there is

doesnt seem like you put much thought into it

Weren't they talking about adding him in as an Injustice 2 style premier skin for Ranger?

any tips?

Just kill a nigga, grab quad and camp jump pad if you suck

>camp jump pad if you suck
thanks it worked

...

...

i fucking hate qc

These words hurt our feelings.

>literally have nailgun inside anarki's body
>it still misses

i fucking hate doom and niggerki ruining the game

i dont even care about champions anymore

i just hate how awful this garbage works

>crashes in queue
>crashes midgame
>crashes in lobby
Not even Putin can save us

>pip

Furry's begone. But I agree, Paladins is far better in terms of gameplay compared to Overwatch. While I have to carry my stupid teammates all the time at least I CAN carry my stupid teammates.

Their current balancing however seems like they're trying their damnedest to turn the game into another shitty Overwatch clone and I've since stopped playing.

>playing Ranger
>rest of my team is Ranger
>enemy team are all level 40+ Doomguys

every patch there's something stupid.

That's a pretty Galena

i wish i had all of that stuff. too bad that game gives you fuck all for selling stuff

HAHAHA
YEAH

does Lucy have hairy pits or is that just oddly-done shadow? i checked her actual texture file and it's still not 100% obvious, it's on both her normal and team skins

Whatever you want it to be

Crash I wouldn't have high hopes for anyway due to Doom 4's existence (and armor rework), but how would one weebify Hunter?

soon, stroggo dude is one of the four upcoming soon™ with athena, keel, and death knight (and now klesk too if the whiteboard post-its in the dev stream are accurate)

If it's what I want it to be then her red and blue skins have holes there specifically to show it off which is boner-inducing.

For that user, Athena is also a Quake 2 reference, Athena is the name of a female skin in that game and she has the grappling hook
