Stroggfu edition. Yesterday was Quake II's big two-zero- you didn't forget, didja?

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 December 14th if all goes to schedule, including one new map, increased stacks for everyone (+25 total health and +25 max armor), one new champion (Keel), and some shit I forgot. Probably.

>quake brainlet can't handle any iteration of ut

lmao @ ur life my dude

"I come bearing gifts of HUUH"

lets be honest. ut fucking sucks

>TFW can only run QC on low settings, and won't be getting new rig till next month or so but still excited for it

ut has
>good maps
>good weapons
>good music and sound
but
>shit movement
>shit input
>shit waifus

Reminder the November patch is going make the game worse not better

ut always had better gunplay than quake

>November

2k4 was good

Rip
Reminder the December patch is going make the game worse not better

UT4 sucks but its still better than QC in every way

i'd say you had an amount deposited to your account but i don't think epic can even pay for shills anymore

I don't get paid to state obvious facts. A Quake game on UE4 would be better than the current pile of dogshit that is QC.

epic's shilling budget, like its devtime, is all on fortnite
if we're lucky we make get some ut4 shills back once battle royal is in a good place

>maxdamage in game episode

There should be more guys like him, it's always entertaining.

I'm always tempted to just leave immediately whenever I see him in a game, but I feel bad for everyone else.

Luckily I only play TDM when I have a daily challenge like "Get X Assists", so I pretty much only play Duel/DM/Sac and I've never seen him in any of those games, so my guess is he only plays TDM, which would be fitting for such an unbelievable faggot.

literally who

>not wanting free announcer who comments everything that happens in game in chat and gives (you)s when you kill him

happy birthday best quake

>shit waifus
You take that back!

There's that one guy that reads from scripture every game on VOIP

Last time I saw him a babby cried in the background and he had to drop from the game. I shit you not

Thoughts on ?
rly made me think

here's the quick rundown:

>guy named MaxDamage, (better known to fans as MaxFaggot)
>only plays tdm
>the second his team starts losing (i'm talking about his team getting behind by like 3-4 kills), OR he dies a couple of times in a row, one of two things will occur
>1. he talks shit about his team (despite often times being on the bottom of the scoreboard), types "i don't play to lose, sorry" and immediately disconnects, OR
>2. he starts typing "lagged rocket" or "stuttering" or something similar essentially adding commentary to excuse every single time he dies (he usually defaults to #2 if his team is winning but he's personally getting shit on)
>by this point i've seen him do this probably 20+ times
>on top of everything he's absolute trash at the game

if you can guess which champion he plays exclusively since this last patch, your quakefu will become real and tug on your boner

2k4 killed UT.

If I guess that he played Anarki before playing Doomguy, will my quakefu sit on my face instead?

UT has always been more fun than Quake.

ut was good only for fps shitters.

i think he used to play sorlag back before this patch (i also think i remember him playing ranger too, so he wasn't exclusively playing a hero), but yes, this patch i've only seen him play doomguy

getting doomguy punched to death by that faggot is a very relaxing experience and in no way makes me want to throw my monitor out the window :^)

ut objectively requires more precision and twitch aiming than quake

>ride a vehicle
>???
>profit
>baaahh quake is too hard thank you cliffy for this scrub game

>vehicles
>outside of assault and onslaught which no one plays
???

complaining about modes with vehicles being faggoty is like me complaining that clan arena is faggoty

both true statements, but it doesn't say anything about the actual good modes

>complaining about modes with vehicles being faggoty is like me complaining that clan arena is faggoty

yea except the modes with vehicles no one played while CA was always one of the most popular forms of quake

utfags have better taste in modes than quakefags, i guess?

Fucking add her to the game tim.

UT was the first step towards casualising shooters; CS sealed their fate.

You realize CS is directly descended from Action Quake which predates UT?

AYO COME JOIN QUAKE 2 CTF WE NEED MORE PEOPLE TO BEAT H0PS
JUST DOWNLOAD QUAKE 2 STARTER FROM q2s.tastyspleen.net/ AND TYPE IN "connect 67.228.69.114:27924"

what are h0ps

No. That's Halo. It just so happened that UT2004 tried to be more like halo.

I want to like this but jesus christ all the weapons have next to no ammo when you pick them up. It all comes down to grabbing the RL or RG if you want a fragging chance. Everyone sliding around like it's Doom makes it worse for someone new like me since it's even harder to track them. I never realized how much accurate movement animations helped in FPS.

git gud

Is QC unfucked yet?

>yet
>implying it will ever be unfucked
They haven't changed engine so no

still no hunter

Next patch is really working on it.
They are fixing things.

>buff top tier (aside from doom)
>nerf low tier
>fixing things

Which streams have drops?

ggs
glad to see you show up again lori

youtube.com/watch?v=OfIG7C-888s

But no seriously when's it coming?

Cross your fingers for December patch? Each of the previous updates has included a new weapon skin or two, right?

>worst rocket launcher

hopefully never

does up to 120dmg on directs
hardly the worst when QL has barely any splash damage

>slash can't even slide on half the surfaces in the game
>shitters crying she needs a nerf
???

i think he meant design wise
and i agree

>muh rockets need splash size of half of the map
If you don't hit direct rocket you don't deserve to deal damage.

>1 point of splash damage
fuck off

>everyone says to lower sensitivty to git gud
>i'm already using a lower sensitivity than any pro or even moderately good player
fuck

as has been said in these threads a million times, quake is not a game that needs one of those counterstrike absolutely retardedly low sensitivities where you have to flail your arm like a fucking baboon just to turn around. you should be able to comfortably 180 at will since you will have to do this often, and in general an ultra low sensitivity makes movement harder, which will definitely handicap your game.

your sens probably shouldn't be lower than 45-50cm/360, and should likely be higher than that. I've played around 41cm/360 for years and it's plenty comfortable for all movement, lg tracking, flick rails, etc. But you can do absolutely fine with higher sens than that, too.

shit. google says i'm at thirty-something cm/360 and even with that i sometimes overshoot shit and think it should be even lower
any higher and i feel like i'm controlling a glass fucking thimble and like hell do i want to spend years re-learning that shit
>tfw your tracking is a-ok in games that don't have fucking retarded hitboxes but in qc wiggly arms and jittery bodies make everything awful

30something cm/360 is a higher sensitivity than 40something cm/360... unless I'm not understanding what you're saying

it only takes 2 weeks to a month to get used to a new sensitivity setting, depending on how often you play. the absolute worst thing to do is to keep switching. pick something reasonable and stick with it, even if you have to suffer through missing some kills you would've normally gotten or getting killed unnecessarily. you'll get used to it just through playing

oh, i guess i'm a retard. whoops. math is hard at this hour m8

also i get the feeling a comfortable cm/360 will not only feel different for everyone but also be highly dependent on chair/desk/mouse distance and height?

>also i get the feeling a comfortable cm/360 will not only feel different for everyone but also be highly dependent on chair/desk/mouse distance and height?

that's true, but don't focus too much on it. i just moved apartments and have been too lazy to adjust my new desk to be the same height as my old one, and the only difference is my wrist gets a little sore spot after a few hours.

also when i have family over i play in my apartment clubhouse on a laptop with a different mouse (same sens) and a nostromo-style mini keyboard and my performance is identical to my normal setup. moral of the story: so long as your setup doesn't cause you physical pain, don't freak out over it too much.

>See people talking about dpi when talking about mouse sensitivity
>Have no idea what they're talking about
What is dpi

mostly irrelevant

drugs per injection
we're all niggerki mains, you see

dots per inch, combined with ingame sensitivity setting to figure out your actual mouse sensitivity

dpi is the mouse parameter that gets multiplied by windows sens and in-game sens to give you your actual sens.

it's a good idea to leave your windows sens to default (6/11) so that the multiplier coming from it is 1, and so that the only multiplier affecting your dpi is the in-game sens setting. good mice will either have static dpi settings on a switch on the bottom or will allow you to set it via a mouse profile program.

the biggest scrub thing people do is talk about dpi without mentioning their in-game sens, which means absolutely nothing. someone saying their dpi is at 3200 tells you absolutely fucking nothing. you need both dpi and in-game sens, or use a sens. calculator and give cm per 360 degrees to get a good idea of actual sensitivity.

my settings are 800 dpi, default windows sens, in-game sens of 1.25, which yields 41.4cm per 360.

ok how do I check my dpi

google "your mouse here" +dpi

"buy a better mouse" is probably the answer

unless they have the ms intellimeme 3.0

56.25cm/360 on a 45cm*40cm mousepad is incredibly comfy.

perfect standard to get used to if you want a sensitivity that works in both arena shooters and tactical shooters

ok my mouse has a dpi of 1200 and my in game sens is 2.000
is that low enough

that's pretty high

that's getting into territory that requires way too much arm movement for me, but more power to ya my dude

i use 1.6 at 800dpi

How big is your mousepad/desk?
Try halving it and see how you feel

yee, I actually got super used to it playing paladins a year ago because that game has champs that play like tactical shooters, champs that play like arena shooters, and then braindead no-aim champs.

I dropped it to 1.250 and I felt like I was more accurate with RG, but that might just be because they had 2 sorlags and a fresh install on their team.
Should I have to be constantly recentering my mouse though?

shit i'm actually retarded, I looked up the wrong mousepad.

I have a 32cm mousepad with a 40cm/360 sensitivity. the comfy mark for me is 32cm being equivalent to 3/4th's a 360.

What keeps you going /arena/?

Quake Champions and porn.

...

for some reason now that I lowered my sensitivity i cant do fast 180s anymore
my mouse stutters if i move it too fast and I end up barely turning.

You need to upgrade your mouse and get a proper mousepad, user. Now this is the true reason why anyone would need a gaming mouse.

could it just be my mousepad?
Friend gave me his hand me down.

why the fuck does quake live's pak file have specific and separate config files for syncerror and tim spill-its?

Your mouse is spinning out.
Get a deathadder, zowie, or something with a high grade optical sensor.
Go to rocket jump ninja's channel and look over his mice reviews.

If push comes to shove, get a razer PTE Sensor mouse. they're a lazer twin eye sensor that can't be spun out, and razer's calibration of the PTE is vastly better than other lazer sensors. their older naga mice properly calibrated PTE sensors.

also second question: how do player skins work in quake live, or at least the default ones? i heard it has higher res player textures and the file system looks similar to original quake 3, but there's no .tga files to be found, only pngs/jpegs that are apparently half-broken or work in progress files (these devs were not very good at cleanup) or .skin files pointing to .tga files that don't actually exist

>literally nothing has been added to Quake Champions since I bought it during last quakeCon

If your mousepad is dirty, your mouse will stop tracking no matter how fast or slow you're going. You can check it yourself by slowly moving your mouse across the mousepad and seeing if the cursor doesn't move. Tell us what your mouse is. I can guarantee you it's the mouse.

imagine being an anarki weenie

>Rocket Launcher IRL
>youtube.com/watch?v=onr3iH7vNco
>decimating everything in at least 10m diameter and penetrates through real tank armor like nothing.
Quake RL has barely sth like 3m of splash at best. Don't tell me it needs more nerfs because it'll start to be glorified rocket-propelled stake gun.

realism is not the standard to design arcadey video games by

So why include RL for cunts while you can just have this beauty?

you are a retard and i'm not going to talk to you anymore
