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.
>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

Robert Richardson
Reminder the November patch is going make the game worse not better
Aaron Reyes
ut always had better gunplay than quake
Lincoln Fisher
>November
James Cooper
2k4 was good
Connor Jackson
Rip Reminder the December patch is going make the game worse not better
Xavier White
UT4 sucks but its still better than QC in every way
Justin Kelly
i'd say you had an amount deposited to your account but i don't think epic can even pay for shills anymore
Asher Morales
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.
Luis Butler
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
Jackson Brown
>maxdamage in game episode
There should be more guys like him, it's always entertaining.
Bentley King
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.
Joshua Ward
literally who
Caleb Long
>not wanting free announcer who comments everything that happens in game in chat and gives (you)s when you kill him
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
Jaxon Foster
Thoughts on ? rly made me think
Jack Cox
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
Noah Evans
2k4 killed UT.
Bentley Jones
If I guess that he played Anarki before playing Doomguy, will my quakefu sit on my face instead?
Alexander Bailey
UT has always been more fun than Quake.
Easton Peterson
ut was good only for fps shitters.
Andrew Collins
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 :^)
Alexander Anderson
ut objectively requires more precision and twitch aiming than quake
Jacob Ramirez
>ride a vehicle >??? >profit >baaahh quake is too hard thank you cliffy for this scrub game
Gabriel Adams
>vehicles >outside of assault and onslaught which no one plays ???
Bentley Rogers
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
Michael Bailey
>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?
Dylan Campbell
Fucking add her to the game tim.
Matthew Gray
UT was the first step towards casualising shooters; CS sealed their fate.
Austin Jenkins
You realize CS is directly descended from Action Quake which predates UT?
Evan Bennett
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"
Tyler Carter
what are h0ps
Levi Parker
No. That's Halo. It just so happened that UT2004 tried to be more like halo.
William Collins
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.
Jaxon Long
git gud
Angel Ortiz
Is QC unfucked yet?
David Wood
>yet >implying it will ever be unfucked They haven't changed engine so no
Blake Wilson
still no hunter
Nicholas Jenkins
Next patch is really working on it. They are fixing things.
Jackson Anderson
>buff top tier (aside from doom) >nerf low tier >fixing things
Cross your fingers for December patch? Each of the previous updates has included a new weapon skin or two, right?
Joseph Lee
>worst rocket launcher
hopefully never
Sebastian Perry
does up to 120dmg on directs hardly the worst when QL has barely any splash damage
Adrian Young
>slash can't even slide on half the surfaces in the game >shitters crying she needs a nerf ???
Nolan Barnes
i think he meant design wise and i agree
Alexander King
>muh rockets need splash size of half of the map If you don't hit direct rocket you don't deserve to deal damage.
Elijah Taylor
>1 point of splash damage fuck off
Sebastian Peterson
>everyone says to lower sensitivty to git gud >i'm already using a lower sensitivity than any pro or even moderately good player fuck
Carter Cook
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.
Eli Morales
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
Justin Reed
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
Benjamin Lopez
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?
Jeremiah Wright
>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.
Brody Powell
>See people talking about dpi when talking about mouse sensitivity >Have no idea what they're talking about What is dpi
Nathan Torres
mostly irrelevant
Cameron Martin
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
Carter Davis
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.
Landon Ramirez
ok how do I check my dpi
Elijah Kelly
google "your mouse here" +dpi
Jeremiah Robinson
"buy a better mouse" is probably the answer
Jacob Flores
unless they have the ms intellimeme 3.0
Ayden Reyes
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
Lincoln Perry
ok my mouse has a dpi of 1200 and my in game sens is 2.000 is that low enough
Jack Sanders
that's pretty high
Gavin James
that's getting into territory that requires way too much arm movement for me, but more power to ya my dude
Levi Rogers
i use 1.6 at 800dpi
Wyatt Rivera
How big is your mousepad/desk? Try halving it and see how you feel
Jace Cox
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.
Jaxon Williams
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?
Jose Phillips
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.
Ian Taylor
What keeps you going /arena/?
Jason James
Quake Champions and porn.
Adam Martin
...
Mason Barnes
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.
Tyler Morgan
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.
Ethan Campbell
could it just be my mousepad? Friend gave me his hand me down.
Michael Perry
why the fuck does quake live's pak file have specific and separate config files for syncerror and tim spill-its?
Matthew Reyes
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.
Aaron Turner
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
Caleb Peterson
>literally nothing has been added to Quake Champions since I bought it during last quakeCon
David Campbell
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.
Chase Collins
imagine being an anarki weenie
Isaac Cruz
>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.
Tyler Anderson
realism is not the standard to design arcadey video games by
Nolan Jenkins
So why include RL for cunts while you can just have this beauty?
Gabriel Morris
you are a retard and i'm not going to talk to you anymore
Michael Lewis
