so sacrifice is like ctf, but when you take the flag to your base you gotta hold it for a bit

its alright i guess. took a few rounds to really be clear what to do with the thing though.

i don't really enjoy sacrifice too much, especially on burial chamber. seems too chokey to get to the capture area. maybe it would be ok in a coordinated team but in pubs it's really dull.

i dont like quad damage pickup on ffa/duel and rather have red armor pickup replace it

quad is fine on tdm/sacrifice tho. just my opinion

quad is busted as ever and if it wasnt for its history in quake i think that 2-3x wouldve been a far more balanced powerup. shorter duration could also work i guess.

sacrifice is interesting but i find it generally less fun than tdm. also the spawns are kinda fucked. it doesnt seem to really bias the spawns in response to the objective states, or even do as much as face you towards it, which is something a lot of shooters with these types of spawns tend to do just to nudge the team toward the same goal. so teams of randoms really dont ever get coordinated in my experience. also it spawned me facing a lava pit once.

8 champions
4 of them are Anarki, 2 Nyx

this mode maybe fun to try-hard-ing on pub but i can't see how it can become an "E-sport" game mode
it's too chaotic, literally a spam fest
there's no strategy but attacker just throwing themselves at the capture point
at first i imagine there's gonna be hold and push like KOTH or something, but turned out it just TDM with an object

here's a "serious" match with Quake veterans, see it yourself

quad only does 3x damage in quake live. also it's supposed to be overpowered

This weekend's beta test will be a lot shorter, ending tomorrow at 5PM EST.

Hey all,

For this week’s Quake Champions Closed Beta test event, we are focusing on monitoring game stability with new backend services in place. In doing so, we will be holding a shorter test event, which will end on Saturday at 5pm ET. The patch being deployed for this build will only include minor fixes, however, we are working on a larger update that will address game performance issues, and this weekend’s test is a prerequisite for that update. We appreciate your continued feedback as it’s helped us to identify stability issues that we’re working to resolve. Thank you to all of our testers for helping us to create an even better Quake Champions.

Wow. Any idea what format it's being played in?

Either way I can see this bringing a lot of players old and new to the game. Also they've partnered with ESL on this so I'm really excited now to see how this turns out.

KonceptAny idea what format it's being played in?

There will be duel, but we have no idea if it's going to involve the champion selection thing that's in the beta or if it's going to be a different system. The team tournament for this year(it's been a different game mode almost every year) is going to be 4v4 Sacrifice, which is the new CDTF(capture & defend the flag) mode where you get to pick which "base" you want to be yours at the first "flag" capture.

BethesdaWe have too much money and not much patience, so let's throw $1 million at a product which is still in beta in a waning genre and has not seen a single professional tournament yet!

I hope the players enjoy lobbing wet toilet paper at each other, because that's what shooting rockets feels like in Quake Champions at the moment. That game is still very far from being in a competitively playable state with such high stakes. And what's worse is that they've now given themselves a deadline to release it this month so the players can get some practice in(Quakecon is end of August this year). That gives them about three weeks to fix some relatively major technical problems. Yikes²

the new weapon that replace the GL, because the GL is "too much spamming" for them

I wonder if they ever test their stuff before updating the game
Wait....

botmodeTheFragileIt's really just comparing q1/q3promode to q2/vq3/q4. The movement systems in all of the games are awesome and should be appreciated, but to say one is objectively better or what QC needs is a bit silly.all of the games also have different weapon and armor mechanics
I think most people will agree QL was terrible to watch and honestly to play and one of the reasons for that was that it took the movement from q3, added a bit of q2 flavor (double jumps) and then reduced the damage on every major weapon except rockets, and thus you had 10 minutes with 1 frag; it's so much harder to outright kill someone because the weapons you needed to chase are bad in those situations.

q4 had engine problems but other than that every other quake game is super fun

has the website been hugged to death?

that's a yes

no I really don't think most people would agree that quake live was terrible to play and watch actually, it's a great game and I know tons of people including myself that prefer quake live to other quake games including the champions beta.
