I seriously despise Sorlag's vomit! Horrible stuff if you get a bit on you then trying to find health before you die.

Amusing the power up ramming speed with some players, LOL! Reminds me of a film... Thud thud thud...

Funny how if you've played too many tactical/military shooters and you're pressing r for reload in Quake Champions yet nothing happens.

Rroff · 18 Jun 2017 at 14:14

Don't have that problem myself I do occasionally find I'm trying to spot players from too much battlefield though LOL.

V F · 19 Jun 2017 at 23:25

LOL! More memories I had forgotten about. https://bethesda.net/community/topic/64298/we-need-to-talk-about-dm6-aka-blood-covenant

Dm6 gets played a lot for a reason. Good maps are always popular but I agree it can get out of hand.

If they are going to use a lobby system they need a good map voting system like in CoD, preferably where a map is taken out of the vote pool for a few voting periods after a couple of repeat plays. That way more maps get played and it stops things feeling stale with constant DM6. I mean I like DM6 but ive been playing it since 1999. So yeah - had my fill.

I remember the voting days even in Q3F and most servers I was on they always picked 2stag2, Chaos, 2mach and Bases. It was rare we got Causeway. Every server was the same hoping to see other maps.

I see they've released a new patch. https://mobile.twitter.com/Quake/status/877908736458797056

Ugh, this patch feels no different and I still cannot understand this game. While it was nice railing with 10 ping I couldn't hit anyone with the other weapons. While others were obliterating me with their high pings. Then another server I was on with 90 ping and killing every target. This makes no sense.

One day late, but happy b'day Quake.

Wasn't me, I don't have the game. I don't go by this moniker in games anyway.

One of the main reasons I've not been playing (that and work keeps getting in the way) kind of just waiting now to see if they patch it into something half consistent.

V F · 24 Jun 2017 at 19:29

Is it the lack of players that causes the poor matchmaking? I'm finding I'm coming across lots of crazy high level players. One I saw two nights ago level 86. :eek:

I got obliterated by that player.

Some games are spammy while some I find very little action.

I see Youtube doesn't like 1920x1200.

Quake Champions is going to steam. Means won't have to use that "launcher"

V F · 24 Jun 2017 at 20:27

Sweet! Hopefully more players then...

Quake live moved to Steam then they started charging players for it.. hmm sounds like history repeating. :rolleyes:

If they ever sort the "netcode" and 1-2 other things I'd happily pay for it personally.

Aye!

Did you take the beta survey? I've just completed one.

Rroff · 24 Jun 2017 at 23:22

I've filled out some in previous rounds haven't done the latest as I've barely played beta 10 and 11.
