Download Quake Champions on Steam or Bethesda.net Launcher between June 10-17 and get instant Early Access. If you log in during this time, you can stay and continue to play even after the event is over!
Bethesda giving it away
that skyrim money trickling down
:rejoice
Can't take an L if you have more money than god, they just have to reprint skyrim for the 18th time
-
for switch?
-
please yall just bless up fuck
-
i'm gonna flip you like a table!!!!!!! :lol
-
Now that's a title.
A+ on getting my attention, Toku. Sure, I'll download it off Steam and own it for free. Too bad it'll still be dead after this promotion and the Quake 3 Arena mode won't bring me and old-fagsucks like me off Quake 3: Arena or Quake Live. :-*
for switch?
lmao. No.
-
should i download even if im bad at these games?

Why play this when I can just boot up my copy of Q3A and get owned like a proper taco? :-\

Because now you can pretend you're playing Overwatch when you select Visor! :doge

I heard Q3a is better than this game
it's probably true

Dang, this game has all the #iconic id characters: Doomguy, Strogg-guy, Wolfensteinguy, Quakeguy, Quake3girl, Quake3guy, and Zoltan Istvan.

Said this exact thing in the Steam thread. Hence Toku's title.

They don't even give you all the Champions. :goty2

Ya but DOOMGUY is in free rotation right now and his special ability is hilarious in an unintentional way that only id can make.
-
So this is fun but it just makes me caremad that DOOM got the effort 2 years ago when Quake is da god.
Also, what are they teaching da youf in school? I played a match where I camped rocket lawn chair wire to wire and got 2 Quad Damages. I'm too old to be topping the charts in Quake.
-
its been so long since most of mp shooter fans have had to worry about things like power up spawn timers caring about things like map control

on Steam? it was f2p on there for its first year after they had to drop the browser version
they had some weird subscription system for a while but it was never required for the main Q3A modes if you didn't care about your character
-
i also own quake live on steam
-
If you had it installed after they shut off the F2P, you perma-own it. That's how I own it. :lol
-
man this is so fun so far. people absolutely don't remember how to play twitch shooters. the rocket launcher feels really good. game feels kinda like a mix of UT and Q3 arena, hope they balance out some of the weapons though cuz some feel truly useless
I played it a bit when the beta came out and i was really turned off by it but it feels like a real game now, albeit dumbed down from q3. the supers thing seems like it could be a bitch to balance
-
It has been/is. As far as weapons go I think it's mostly fine, some are just way more situational than others. Like yes why wouldn't you be using one of the holy trinity if you had them (RG, LG, RL) but the others have their place/use. Nailgun for instance can completley shred in close range (it's something like 20 dmg a shot...it might have the highest potential dps iirc). Super shotgun used to be better though I remember doing really well with it in an older beta and I think they increased the time between shots.
-
but why does this thing play slower than q3a?
-

Because Overwatch.
The fact that the Q3A mode is MIA (or locked for the free accounts) is just damn annoying.
-
Quake Live is that way thank you
-
Yeah, but how would I shit post in your thread and keep it alive if you didn't reply? :doge
-

Engine feels kinda trash too.

That two minute loading on game start also doesn't help. :doge

my only real complaints are the super shotgun and the machine gun (the one you pick up, not the default) feel underwhelming. I get what you mean about the weapons being situational but the machine gun in particular doesn't really feel like there's a situation where it's appropriate. the shotgun just feels like it needs a tiny bit more range, but my time with DOOM might be coloring my opinion here a bit.
really enjoying it though. not sure if I'll dive in quite yet but I can see myself paying for it down the line when I have less games in rotation. I am admittedly a sucker for those daily logins though so it might come sooner than later
-
properly enjoying this. please don't die and exit this world like everything else i love.

The free trial has boosted their numbers on Steam quite a bit [from about 1,500 peak concurrent players to 15,000]. Dunno if that's enough to keep it going long-term, if it keeps going like that, or if it can bring in more people.
-
the most positive sign to me is a bunch of ppl who streamed this got a significant boost in numbers from it. Content creators on yt as well. So I'm hoping that means a decent chunk of that 14k will stay longterm.
Never saw this giveaway coming but that def. makes me feel like we'll see the full f2p release at quake con this year.
-
Well, I mean... (http://steamcharts.com/app/350280)
It depends on how they do the F2P. IMO the people chosen (2) for this giveaway aren't the best ones (one should be Doomguy and the other Visor). And for us folks that want the Q3A mode, they need to get that out pronto.
-
You're not getting one for awhile if ever. Get over it. The pros seem to be settling on 2v2 as the go to comp mode.

Ha, when I played Quake Live last night I was like, "Ah yeah, I have to rocket jump!" Definitely haven't thought that to myself once in Quake Champions.

idc about rocket jumping who thought snipers would be a fun quake mode with this gun

i needed this game in my life

Insta-gib is the best mode. It trains your aiming. Git gud. :wag :wag :wag

I mean that's great and all. But when (and that depends on if they are fucking stupid) they shut down the free-to-play on Steam, it's going to have retain the players. That's where you should be worrying more than anything.
If it holds the players: Great. Beth's promotion worked. But if it doesn't a month later, it's not a success.
Basically, let's not celebrate one arena shooter being "successful" just yet until at least the end of August.

Numbers feel down already; couldn't get into a TDM match tonight and had to slum it in plain ol' DM.
On the plus side I got the Quake 1 rocket launcher skin. I don't think I've ever been so excited for something in my life. :hyper

that would be a good point if there were any other hitscan weapons in the game

weren't, surely? Since the Shotgun IS hitscan.

instagib dominating the solo playlist has pushed me into playing team deathmatch :maf

that really doesn't apply since the railgun is about distance and you need to be so close with the shotgun to do damage that you basically can't miss

has anyone's dick been sucked in this thread yet? I don't have time to read the whole thing

Not yet. We're waiting until August to see if this holds players. :doge
-
the lightning gun is hitscan and the absolute don. better than the rocket launcher.

It helps train your aiming. Kids can't aim for shit and then cry aimbot when I'm getting 50%+ in matches. :doge

Tri-bolt nerf - how much dev time and unpaid dev time (forum posting) are they going to waste before just making the right call (getting rid of it)?
Good thing they didn't make the grenade launcher a champion's ability. Good thing another champion's ability doesn't double as a mine launcher either.
