I miss UT and Quake so fucking much Yea Forums. I can't handle that they're dead.
Is there any arena shooter on PC nowadays that has an active community? I don't care if it's only a few hundred or thousand dedicated players, just if it's stable!
Quake Champions awaiting the replies from folks claiming they want AFPS back yet refuse to play AFPS
Brody Scott
Do people play that?
All I've heard is that it's dead.
Dylan Wright
People say every game is dead
Adrian Martinez
never listen to Yea Forums about whether a game is dead or not it's not a twitch top-100 but it has more players than every other AFPS combined
Bentley Richardson
what happened to the new UT? i remember playing it a few months ago online for a bit.
Jayden Sanders
A lot of them are.
I just played some of the new Unreal Tournament with my younger friend to show him these old games that I'm always going on about and we had a blast but there were like 50 people playing it and I think a lot of them were bots.
UT4 was also abandoned totally unfinished so playing that is lame.
Thomas Martin
epic abandoned it long ago for fartnite
Samuel Hernandez
UT was always kinda dead even when it was alive in the same way Planetside was
Luis Peterson
Literally ut and any quake game. Are you retarded?
Josiah King
331 players in a F2P game sounds pretty fucking dead to me, there are more people playing WaW and Halo 2 vist right now
Christian Cox
There's a single Quake Live server that I have good ping for, actively has players, and isn't Clan Arena.
Owen Stewart
>and isn't Clan Arena bullshit unless you are euro
Landon Ortiz
OP here
Maybe it was wishful thinking, but I was really hoping that someone was going to say "well user haven't you heard about this indie quake clone that's great and actually has a pretty dedicated community!" and recommend me some game I've never heard of.
Leo Rivera
Maybe next time champ.
Jaxon Wright
I wish it wasn't so but Arena Shooters as a genre were never very popular even when they were relevant
Adam Ortiz
>331 the 24 hour peak is 1430 on steam alone, which doesn't count the bethesda launcher which a decent number of people play on due to promotional keys steamcharts.com/app/611500

Netcode is trash and the optimization still leaves much to be desired, enjoy your fartnite tier battle pass I'll stick with QL and check out Diabotical when it releases, thanks.
Jace Russell
Almost 1500 people... That's not bad.
Is that fairly stable? I'm installing the game right now.
It's been a solid ten years since I played these games very much so I'm almost afraid to see how bad my reflexes have gotten.
Jordan Green
there he is
Michael Hall
TF2's an arena shooter right
Jace Hill
no it isnt, Halo is more of an arena shooter
Caleb Adams
no
Logan Hall
Would play and download UT2004 so fucking hard if it came free with Epic Store
I mean come the fuck on it would be 1000x better than anything on Epic Store. Even Fartnite
Austin Anderson
>hidden arena shooter kino needs an HD remaster for switch so I can play it on yuzu
The abilities have been nerfed to the ground and barely help you. Its still about movement, item control, and gunplay.
James Carter
>overwatch style nah, not only were they never that bad to start with, the more offensive ones have been heavily toned down and you can't crutch on them to wipe out a whole team i.e. seeing through walls is fucking useless if you can't hit dick to start with, invisibility doesn't do squat if you're a predictable moron and the enemy will shoot a rocket right where you're about to reappear, etc. other ones tend to be standard shooter fare, like ranger's one-use teleport (translocator), anarki's heal (q3a medkit), and so on
Jose Jenkins
alright that's good to know. would have still preferred pure shooting and movement but I guess that's not enough for zoomers
Henry Long
fucked up how we went from UT2K4's 500 amazing game modes and also double domination to games just being a single game mode. I wonder how long it will be before we see another UT game mode made into a single game.
99% of the match will be pure shooting and movement, the bigger variation will be character choice as most of them have different movement types representing the various previous quake games
Camden Thompson
*sips*
can't play that trash, the strafejump acceleration isn't the same as in one particular build if cpma
