ArenaFPS thread!!!!

[goregoregoregoregoregore]

Maybe i am the sole user on this forum that still likes to play online ArenaFPS but let's try this anyways

Dashers, strafejumpers, bunnyhoppers and crouchsliders of this forum, how are you enjoying your favorite ArenaFPS games? What games are you playing? Quake Champions? Quake Live? Unreal Tournament? Xonotic? maybe even CPMA?
What are your favorite weapons? Do you still have hopes for a new Quake announcement? Are you following any tournaments? Are you more of a LG or Rockets enjoyer? is clan arena the worse gamemode ever made? Discuss (but be civil goddamnit)

I remember playing quake 3 with a couple of friends on school computers when I was in high school, and I almost got suspended for it lmao

 

[bigstinkie]

i have played none of the game you have listed
however there is a game called straftat that i believe is something like an arena shooting game, and while i am extremely terrible at both it and shooting games in general, i experience great enjoyment playing it with my friends and it has given me interest in trying out the classic arena shooting games
also i do not know who the lady with the collar or the dinosaur are but i like them a lot

Funnily enough, i'm a dirty zoomer not from the golden age of Quake but i always grew up watching my uncle playing the games and just after being older that i had actual interest in investing my time in it. It sure was fucked up losing for so long against veterans but it's super addictive too.
I wish i was alive in an age of people casually playing Quake with friends

I watched some gameplay of this game on youtube and i liked what i've seen, reminds me a lot of a Quake 2 and Quake 3 mod called Urban Terror but with some cool more fast paced twists.
The lady with the collar is called Slash and she is a goth anarchist punk girl that is arguably the fastest character in Quake Champions. The lizard lady is Sorlag and she is a carnivorous acid spitting alien that is sexy as fuck

I miss UT2004, especially with the Chaos mod.

 

[Cuestionador]

I love Unreal Tournament (never beat Xan too), and i have the chance to play online many years ago, in a lagged server. In a couple of minutes, there was none alive. Besides that, Quake II and Quake III are two of my favourites.

I really miss UT too, i really had the potential to dethrone Quake as the most popular ArenaFPS right now or even possibly become a popular game again. But then we got Epic...

I played quite a bit of Quake 3 Arena many years ago when it was still relatively new. I tried getting back into it not too long ago and had a rough time though, the rust is real.

I love the mood and design of UT, really it's way ahead of his time. This level in particular, is one of the most relaxing things ever made in videogames to me:

I'm a single player bunny hopper. Currently trying to get through Phantom Fury, but will be back to Quake soon. Probably.

Some of my fondest gaming memories are playing arena shooters on my dads work computer whenever he would bring me in for the day. Love that shit. I'd spend hours just doing bot matches and going nuts with the mutators in OG Unreal Tournament (loved the claymore only matches). UT2004 I also played later on, had a lot of fun with that obviously as it's great. Quake 3 Arena is also GOAT of course, that and OG UT are the ones I spent the most time with.

Favorite weapon has to be the Lightning Gun from various UTs, I loved how you could alt fire the ball then explode it with the primary fire. Runner up is the Quake 3 Flak Cannon. Good times.

Oh, and the obligatory fuck Epic of course.

what did epic do that created animosity ?

Oh damn, a fellow Quake 1 runner here? If so, what are you times? I'm definitely not consistent and i never actually record and time my runs since i do it mostly because i think is fun. My full game Single Segment time is 14:00ish if i remember it correctly

I was so obsessed with that lightning gun in UT and doing that explosion right, but i was horrible at it lmao. Also, it wasn't Quake 3 that had the Flak Cannon, it was UT(i love that weapon btw)

If i stay 1 week without playing Quake i already feel like its my first time ever playing lmao

Ahh facing worlds, beautiful map but honestly i might be the only one that disliked it lmao. I don't like sniper maps like the longest yard in quake 3 for example. I prefer the more closed shitfests lmao

Basically stopped the development from a new Unreal Tournament out of nowhere in order to focus only on Fortnite, and removed all Unreal Tournament games that were available from the stores

Ehhhh you're right, my bad. I blame my apparent false childhood memories on that one. I'll have to go and play Quake 3 again to see what I'm mixing it up with; such a terrible thing, I know.

I never speedran the entire game. I've only submitted two runs for custom maps. I just play single player and I do bunnyhopping, but my play is anything but stellar. Here they are:

This first map I only ran because I was teaching myself to bunnyhop by replaying it over and over.

This thread just reminded me; remember UT3, when it was clearly designed to be a console exclusive before they backed up and release a bad PC port? I played that a good amount on the 360, for some reason, but I have such little memory of the actual game. I think it was third person for some reason?

May have killed the series for awhile, no biggie.

That's cool, i usually don't run custom maps. Nowadays i don't do entire game runs, more like very unoptimized ILs for certain maps lmao

I remember this game, it had an actual very satisfying gunplay and sounds, but all the rest were so slow and clunky. If i recall there is still some small dedicated community that enjoys it lol.
