i'm a huge quake noob but i still love playing FFA, duel, and TDM/freeze tag with good players. that said, when quake live went "noob" and added dumb "features" i quit until they allowed servers to host legacy versions.. i'm really hoping that quake champions doesn't cater to noobs, because some of the noobs want to actually play the same game that good people play!

Really hope I get into this. Overwatch is fun and all, but I miss the fast pace of Quake and Tribes. Hopefully the non-duel game modes are a lot of fun as well.

I don't mind the champion powers or the new stuff I've been seeing. I really think that no matter what the devs did, people would complain that it isn't "their" Quake. Hopefully the game will at least help revive the genre; god knows UT4 isn't gonna do that any time soon. I just want to watch people like Rapha be amazing. The spectacle of Quake pros being godlike is just insanely good.

Can you name examples of going "noob"?

Mostly loadouts I would imagine. Or maybe spawning people with x amount of armor at the start.

This is most definitely raw but still from a potato. Still better than any trailer yet.

Not really fan of a FPS game with dota-like abilities, but if I'm gonna give it a shot, it will be with Quake Champions. OW looks dumb from the start.
I just hope they have focus on it being a FPS, and tone down the power and impact of ability usages. I think that could end up good.

Well, this video is from zero4, one of the best (if not the best) quake3 Player and new ids esport-manager.

with regard to ql: auto bhopping and loadouts very nearly killed the game for me on a casual level.

His movement didn't look that great nor his aim. Not doubting his ability as a player but I'm not guessing he is super familiar with cpma style physics. I could be completely wrong. Could just be the way anarki works.

Man, it's been so long since I've had fun playing an arena-fps like Quake.

I played a lot of Xonotic and a little bit of Warsow, but those games are so incredibly dead, and I'm so incredibly rusty that I can't put up a good fight, heh.

Here's to hoping there will be some sort of linux support situation going on with Quake Champions, I would love to revisit one of the less-loved game genres.
