Thought this would be a sponge thread

Nice try CoD.

Note I've been a registered ESR member since 2001 and COD came in existence in 2003. I was actually on "XSR" before that.

What's esx

sex

pretty subtle trolling, 8.5/10

'twas XSR, not ESX c",)

Touche' :)

it doesnt have quake in the name, that game cannot be good. As simple as that.

60 euro?

does it have a massive player base and do many ppl know about it? because that's the only problem of ql

I am searching for a multiplayer game other than ql for some time now, with no success. I actually ended up buying some single player ones (doom, metro 2033 and outlast), but single player is like wanking (actually much worse).

it's too expensive for me, since I only play no more than 1 out 5 games I try and there is a pretty big chance, I will waste another 60 euro for nothing.

if it has some demo thing, I might try it

This shit will be dead faster then... fast.

Have a look at Kinguin or Gameladen. Should be around 40 euros there.

confirm

Quake 2 is the magic word for me.

But I have to be a bit rational and not waste money on a very soon to be dead game that none of my friends is going to play.

Says the guy that's on the website of "dead" games we can't let go of :)

It's slower than Titanfall 1

sequels...

QW FTW

I really liked Titanfall 1 due to it being quite simple and fast for a console FPS, Titanfall 2 seems to be the opposite.

I know stermy played titanfall for a while.

In the tf2 (lol?) Stream I watched, I mainly saw a guy swinging around, ADS'ing, and getting blown up by titans. True skill.

I dont even zoom in quake for rails. All the pros do it, but it seems wrong to me.

i'd ask another question: WHY 30yo aver age ESRS SHOULD PLAY videogames? bcoz its easier to run from responsibility of reallife fights - for better job/woman/car/house/health. Stop playing shity quake'1998 and get a life, get a job, get something more than razer mousepad covered by cumstains and half-working wmo with cheap plastic, something more than skill, elo and other virtual bullshit wich means nothing and aint make u better as humanbeing.

such a projection...

ppl who say such things usually have trouble balancing their lives and think that everybody is like them

you know why 30yo still play? because is just another hobby. it might sound weird to u, but pll can play quake, have wives, kids, jobs, exercise and have many other hobbies as well. obsessed and young ppl that play 24/7 can't grasp or relate to this and they project the only reality that they understand, their reality. is the same with "pros" retiring, which to mature ppl is just funny (like why retire from a game... it is just a game... but it's not to them).

Got a job, wife, kid, car so far. House is fucking expensive here in Munich but I am working on it. Health might be a problem. Anyways, play more Reflex!

Would be nice if it ever made it to 1.0 =\

SIngle player is meant to be really good which I was very suprised upon hearing.

Yeah don't even try Cod, it's been long dead.

The level design is awesome. I never felt bored.

Good but short, 4-5 hours

Yeah so I heard, probably wouldn't put me off playing it so long as it had a good story.

Here's a video on the bunny hopping:

Imagine if quake had a tutorial like this. Game would be doing 1 million dollar tournaments

Please.

Ask to ika

Inspried by the video above I made my own extended version of this drill. I find the beginning part allows you to get a better feel for the bunny hopping with the larger curves then you use the solemn area to do tighter ones.



Once you have this down you can add a wall run to the beginning to start you off with more speed (wall runs give you more momentum than simply running).

Ye, I guess this looks interesting.

But, can you go faster and faster, or do you top at some speed?

5yo old notebook.. :(

OK I WILL PLAY THIS DOG GAWN GAME FFS =]

"WHY ESRS SHOULD PLAY TITANFALL 2 "

"You won't believe Reason #6!"

"good joke?"

All these Arena games are really fun and can give similar feelings as Quake, but none are actually Quake!

Technically it is a quake mod... the source engine is a modified quake 1 engine.

Id play it if the weapons didnt do this much fucking damage.

You don't say?

So since this is currently 31.99 on Origin (39.99 minus %20 with the code: TITAN20), I gave it a shot, so here is my two cents about it:

- SP is good but nothing groundbreaking. Visuals are nice to digest, they also stole some good ideas from others games and they implemented those well too. I finished it in less than 5 hours on hard, so it's really short and easy. I would rate it around 6.5-7/10. I probably won't ever play it again, but I had a good time, so the devs deserve the money for their hard work (insane amounts of people on the credits btw).

- Multiplayer is fast, there are high skilled players and the movement kinda feels good. Aim is snappy and accurate, but the metagame is a bit too dumb for my taste, (please note that I never really liked COD type of shooter games, so I might be biased on this one).

- Engine is a heavily modified Source from Valve. They replaced pretty much everything (renderer, audio backend, netcode, etc.) I can't really complain, it runs smooth and it looks good when maxed out, so it's well done (but way too much lens flares imo).

I doubt it will have any players 1-2 years later, so get it now if you want it for the multiplayer. I usually spend three times the money when we go out to a club or something, so this might be a worthy timekiller for a Sunday afternoon if you are bored and like to play games

The Single Player reminded me of playing Half Life 2. When level design and game mechanics ruled and there were no quick time events.

I wouldn't compare the multiplayer to COD at all. Maybe you could compare the gun mechanics to COD but not the overall gameplay. There are guns like the Volt or Car which are great for shooting from the hip. No need to ADS.

I wasn't a fan of it at first but Bounty has really grown on me.

About the SP: It's either you go with the Doom path were story is not needed because the weapon mechanics and game is all about the feel, or you have to do some serious design effort to make a good story telling. This game tried the second one, but it did not deliver as strong as it should have. It was getting there tho, it just fell short on the directing/scripting side.

About the MP: Some weapons like the EVA8 are way too OP, and I say that as somebody who loves and knows the shotgun in every id game, but the EVA8 is disgustingly OP, I can headshot people from far away with it when it's amped.
One thing I should mention: The netcode is flat out terrible in this game, anything above 80ms is pure lotto.
It's pretty much dead now btw, less than 10K players worldwide at late afternoon-evenings, it's sad because it definitely deserved more (regardless of my personal opinion).
