Nearly 6000 people was playing it today which is almost more than anyone who ever tried it combined and I think a new peak for them in general.

The game doesn't need millions, just enough so you can find a game.

I'm not sure how many of these players they'll keep with no match-making an an awful ranking system. You get a big list of servers and it's pot luck if you join a server where you're matched evenly or destroyed. They make it as difficult as possible to get into a duel as well, no idea why.

The lack of weapon variety and interesting game modes might turn people off. Modern shooters have a hundred weapons or more, Quake has about ten and half of those are just poo poo versions of the other ones. The game modes are pretty one dimension, people don't really like mindless deathmatches or ctf anymore.

90% of which look/play about the same as in everyrr other brownmans shooter. and youre a little bitch that can only carry 1 or 2 of them.


real quake and UT shootmans are alpha enough to carry their whoel arsenal and intelligent enough to know when to use which gun within ms of spootting an enemy

yeah i think that settles the argument

Proper 4v4 CTF and TDM in quake has more depth than any of the most contrived modes in games like Battlefield or whatever. rear end clown. Unless you just mean what a public server will probably end up being, but even then.

I initially thought the changes were really loving terrible but I've done a 180, really enjoying annihilating people in freeze tag and ctf

hmm yes the modes in quake are one dimensional compared to goty modern shooters like cod that have these gametypes

ctf
free for all
team deathmatch
bomb planting cs wannabe poo poo
domination

so much more variety clearly, and i get to use guns with only slightly modified damage stats between them and everything looks brown, that sounds really cool

but it's not

because they're poo poo

and colored like poo poo
