The company doing the promo videos for this game accidentally put out a map trailer early : https://vimeo.com/219015308
Moving platforms and buttons you can shoot to drop people into pits of acid, very quakeworld-y.

My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

Scale bearer's ability doesn't kill me anymore often than others. His stats are the closest thing to overpowered about him. He seems to have a big hotbox which kind of balances that.
I'm also not very good at Quakes and I am sure he will get some tweaks.

It's a certain amount of damage dealt in a match. 1000 iirc.

Net master is 1000 damage in one life. You get a medal for 5000 damage in one game called Damage dealer

I actually didn't think I'd like duel but it is by far my favorite mode now. Coming from QL it's just so much more laid back.

I dunno about this Duel Mode. I like the old one personally. I don't think the new one will do as well as the old one.

Matches aren't going to be as exciting as Rapha VS Cypher and them getting 4 kills in 30 seconds.

There are maybe 100 people on matchmaking right now, I've been queued with the same people over and over. The netcode felt improved last night and it's utter dogshit today. This is stupid.

Well yeah, if you're in a party. I near exclusively play TDM and I was queueing alone all morning. Same former teammates and players on the enemy team would rotate back and forth, so matches were even more hilariously one sided.

You quit to early. We didn't have this problem, me and EnteranceJew had multiple great TDM and Sacrifice matches. Both of us had on fire moments with rail and in general poo poo went well. poo poo our last three Sacrifice games were loving epic.

Also if you aren't on discord get on it. Easy to pick up a partner for games, and we've had a few rotating 3/4 stacks. Game is much more fun when you can laugh at your own failures, have multiple people timing the quad, and screaming and yelling when someone runs the wrong way with the soul.

24/7 open beta with custom lobbies, 3 new maps and spectating is live right now. As soon as they announced that people can play right now bethesda.net crashed, so I guess there are people out there looking to play some Quake?

Watching streams and this looks so bad rear end.

Here, along with a few images purporting to be from an internal Trello that was accidentally made public. Characters referenced in this include Death Knight from Quake 1, Strogg Infiltrator, Athena (who has a Grappling Hook?) and Keel from Q3A.

YMMV, of course.

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

I love the idea that this just gets even more absurd with the characters than Q3 did. Embrace the Super Smash Brothers model of "what characters do we own? gently caress it, their in".
