new quake is good and out on steam rn. it also actually has a playerbase and finding matches is quick, i haven't felt a rush like this from an FPS in a long time and it's drat good to be fragging again

yes there are 'different' classes with some minor stat differences, some of them have passives like better air control or a double jump, but map knowledge and accuracy is still king. no one has some bullshit overwatch i-win-button or an obvious edge. it'd be cool if more people got on this because its really loving fun

e: actually after playing this more wait til its free lmao bethesda is win

Map knowledge is pointless in this game because pick ups respawn in 0.5 seconds. Giving everybody ultimate s is only there because they're pushing their bullshit esports 5v5 mode that's some hosed Up king of the hill thing where you have to camp a point. Not moving is the best part of Arena shooters...gently caress off! I hope John Romero telefrags your rear end in hell Todd Howard!

loot boxes and poo poo is the nature of the market. no one is ever going to make an FPS without this crap again because it sells. all i care about is that the game is fun as hell

not moving gets you killed really fast and the weapons do take a while to respawn, the important pickups like megahealth etc. take a good while. i played the koth thing and its pretty drat fun, its not like youre cod camping a room

Knowing the maps is pretty crucial because a lot of the time you're anticipating where the other guy is going to be and everyone is constantly in a state of motion.

lets put timers on all the items so you dont even need to keep track of your opponents to know the spawn times, quake is best enjoyed when it ts telling you exactly what to do while you mindlessly frag and use special unique hero abilities. also remember dm6? its worse now for no reason, theres even a teleporter in it now which alters its entire flow. this is some sublime gaming

the rail gun can be charged up for a very tiny amount of bonus damage but otherwise no

the timers are fine lol its just giving everyone that basic knowledge instead of expecting players who may not be quake gods to keep timers in their head, i dont think theres anything wrong with little details like that

people are shiting on this because its not 1:1 quake 3 but evidently they dont actually want that because quake live is right there and no one plays it. they made tweaks and added a class system for flavor but its still pretty much quake and really fun, imo that matters more than how accurate it is to a super old game no one plays anymore

the timers are hosed because the whole point is you have to be present to know when someone picked up the item, it leads to positional plays for information instead of just cruising by the area later and looking at the timer

not gonna deny a tiny amount of depth was lost here but that doesnt automatically mean the game is a dumpster fire lol

I claim this thread in the name of the Roman Senate & People!



This is now a Total War: Rome II: Emperor Edition discussion thread. I was told to try this game once again, and that it really was fixed this time, and by all accounts that seems to be correct. Missile unit accuracy is fixed, siege AI and naval battle AI have finally been fixed, the campaign AI no longer spawns a bajillion generals with 1/2 units, the building values have been revamped... the list goes on, but- after more than three years since release- I can safely say that Total War: Rome II is finally a good game. Not the best Total War in recent years, of course- the competitive play of Shogun 2 remains uncontested, and the campaign world and units of Warhammer are far more interesting and dynamic- but it's still worth looking into now, especially since all the DLC is bundled with it, I think.

alright fine, not saying this is perfect. just the options for blowing up people in 2017 with rocket launchers and lightning guns are this and overwatch. i pick this. its fun as hell and cheap, its not going to be the holy grail of multiplayer fps like quake 3 was, it has modern lootbox aids, but at the end of the day its a really good time.
