While ut99 community netcode is much better for hitscan than the old netcode it completely breaks dodging if you are playing against HPBs. For a game where in combat avoidance is important (dodge) not being able to dodge due to taking damage from rocket fired by a 500ms player that is given damage even though you did avoid it really takes away from what the game was back in the day. gib was always pretty popular and the netcode simply pushes play onto the sniper even more. 99 has a place in my heart but unless you know you will have all LPBs with stable connections (even playing against 100ms player starts to make avoidance harder) it is a hard pass for me.
Modern quakeworld netcode however is very nice.';

You're kinda right. But for me, the biggest issue of QC is two things: You can't host the server and the game runs really bad. It crashes like a bethesda game, that level of troubles. And the lag, oh the lag, even if you have a good ping the game can freeze at the middle of the fight.';

Anarki is pretty fun since you can learn to play him in 5 seconds ignoring that I had to look up a tutorial to figure out what was special about him

QC Doom Edition kind of does this but it's not really the same. I would say QC is kind of unsalvageable. I prefer it if they just made a better sequel from the ground up. Quake Champions 2. There is a huge laundry list of things they would have to do to make a hypothetical QC2 actually good.

The similarities to GoldSrc and Half-Life are very apparent now especially with the water physics, and the mood of the soundtrack. I'd wager some of the same samples were used. The low FPS animations also have something of a surrealist quality to them that I find satisfying.

I would say that the two biggest factors which differentiate it from an arena shooter are that the game can't be played as a 5v5 elimination and as 1v1 time limit. Instead Halo has more of a CoD style of gameplay with team objectives and respawning. I guess the CTF mode is pretty similar to arena shooter gameplay, but I don't think any arena shooters have vehicles like Halo does. Also you can only have 2 weapons at a time in Halo, and you have a grenade slot. Much more like CoD or BF.';

That and 1v1, as I wrote. I guess also ctf. Pro quake gameplay is and always has been 1v1. Certainly, team deathmatch style gameplay which is standard for Halo and other mainstream fps games is hard to implement in arena shooters.
>you don't actually play these games much at all
I don't. I think I actually said that earlier in the thread, but maybe that was a different reply chain.

in the new 2v2 tournaments this year serious and keltz have been doing really well but in 1v1's they both get bodied by the top players

i've been really enjoying the new 2v2 format, serious and keltz have extremely compatible playstyles without exerting too much effort whereas rapha and maxter's styles don't compliment each other at all yet they stay near the top due to sheer practice and willpower

i also love that the limited picks and bans in 2v2 and being able to switch mid-game allows for really interesting champion matchups and rewards adaptability';

'was watching some quake 4 duel footage from 2006 and got surpised by the 15 minute timers. when and why exactly did things move to the 10 minute duels we have everywhere now (except Diabotical)? since i saw early quake live duels were also 15 minutes';
