Discuss arena shooters related topics. Recomend some arena shooter games to each other.
I'll start so where do you think the genre is going it seems pretty quite at the moment. nothing else is big other than the usual quake-con and the last UT4 ESL Champs. UT 4 is pretty good. feels sort of like UT 1999 but i don't think the movement speed is as fast. it has potential to grow to something even better. but the community on the game is still pretty quite. Development on the game is there but not fast enough in my opinion. but then again the game is still in pre-alpha. what do you think /v/ ?

Doom isn't really an arena shooter. desu doom was never an arena shooter on the multiplayer modes. ever since quake stole the spotlight. now it feels like halo and CoD. well considering that the studio that develops the multiplayer for doom worked on halo and CoD it makes a lot of sense.
>>334801394
Fuckin right

UT will never be popular again.
Quake will never be popular again.
The audience just changed, and games are being made for a different audience now.

I don't know what there is to discuss. Quake 3 is what, 17 years old at this point? Its been played to death by multiple generations.
They won't die, sure, but they won't ever be as popular
>>
I don't know why people talk about arena shooters as something be all end all kind of thing.

I love Battlefield and Quake. They are just different games with different rules. I don't care if more casual games are being made as long as some movement based shooters are around to go fast in and frag bitches.

Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament were the precursors to today's multiplayer-focus only shooters and in my opinion were bad for the progression of the genre.

Not to say they weren't high-quality titles but they marked the death knell of the solo shooter, so instead of tacking on a multiplayer mode, developers tack on a singleplayer mode.
>>
What did everyone think about Toxikk? I was really enjoying the beta until it became dead. It also pissed be off that they lied about the real release date and it's been over a year in beta.

While not quite an arena shooter, have any of you played Dirty Bomb? It's got a higher TTK than games like CoD/BF/CS. Lots of tracking and aiming involved with various abilities that make each mercenary different. I've heard some people liken it to an arena shooter which is why I bring it up.

It's a teambased game in which teamwork is actually not all that useful, it's not even fun. Plus, incredibly poor performance.

>>334805086
I'm on a 660 ti as well, I have no issues getting 60 fps, but the microstutters, framepacing and camera movement has got to be some of the worst shit I've ever seen in a modern fps.
>>
>>334805186
Yeah well Ripper ain't in it yet but all the other weapons are.
>>
>>334804346
It's definitely quite a bit better than your standard FPS. A lot of the time I feel like abilities are far too impactful and detract from the higher TTK.

Also I wish more maps were built around long jump+walljump, and ideally id like to play a game with even more interesting movement options.

>>
>>334805325
Agreed. Another issue I have with it: It feels too much like you're shooting at healthbars. I mean, CS has healthpools, TF2 does, most shooters do. This game manages to make it feel like they matter more.
The shooting feels RPG-ish, and that's bad.

Bio Rifle has a Bio Grenade Launcher now
>>
>>334805740
forgot to add "mutator"
Bio Rifle has a Bio Grenade Launcher mutator now*

Fixed.
Basically it's a server mutator that swaps Bio Rifle for Bio Launcher which fires bio grenades primary and bio web secondary.
>>
>>334805534
>he doesn't know
Bio launcher is visually same as bio rifle, but projectiles behave differently.
primary fire launches the small bio drops to explode into gas cloud which causes damage.
Secondary fills up like with bio rifle, but whereever the bio-mass lands, it makes a web-like thing that is very useful for setting up traps.
>>
>>334805834
So the rifle is the official one now?

I know I saw some footage of the bio rework. I guess it's a good idea to have an official mutator to bring the old one back.

Can you still instagib people with a full charged glob?
>>
>>334803505
Fucking this. when are you niggers going to stop complaining about the death of arena shooters and play a fucking free game with not support with no fucking pay to win shit and isn't owned by bethesda.

>>334805997
No.
The old one is the defualt.
The new one is an optional mutator.

BOTS FUCKING WHEN

I mean seriously, there's no better way to attract new players than by letting them learn the maps while killing bots.
Yes, the professional players will complain because they get nothing from that particular update, boo-fucking-hoo.
They need players to survive as a game. Implement basic bots that just move around the maps. A rudimentary matchmaking for duels. Done.

This way the game would at least have the ability to flourish and grow.

It was when it came out. Quake Live is fucking old by now. Reflex is in EA, if they want to succeed and gain popularity they need those things upon full release in order to attract new players.
I mean seriously, the only thing QL has over Reflex is the playerbase. It's my honest opinion that Reflex does everything else straight out better.
>>
>>334809254
>Quake Live is fucking old by now
Its not the game that is old, its the concept. You can't be this dense.
Reflex isn't growing, but not because of QL's "popularity", but because it is a copy-paste of a 17 year old game who nobody wants to play anymore.

>>334809101
1k for a peak is pretty good considering the genre. It's is too hardcore for most people and the only people who still play the games scare away any fresh meat.

This type of game doesn't have much of a place in the current game world unless they add things to it which no one who likes the genre would want. It needs lore, character, tournaments with money, and a strong casual and hardcore scene. It's all hardcore and that's it. There's no incentive for a casual audience. There are no pretty graphics, no waifu fap bait, no laid back game types, no hand holding. Not to mention there's not even much of an incentive for new players who are vets of other shooters. It's like an exclusive club that looks down on everyone then wonders why no one wants to join.

It needs a lot of updating and adjustment to break out of being a niche game type, but anyone who likes this kind of game doesn't want it to change.

Bio Launcher is a separate gun you fucking retard, read the list again.

Also
>complaining about removal of pointless "lore" shit from the names

It takes objectively less skill to kill someone if you have a weapon/health/armor advantage

It's also not fun

how the fuck isn't it dead ?
If the most played game has literally peak 1k players and its every month getting less and less.Please by what logic is the genre not dead , its not even stable is shrinking with each month, jesus even some obscure indie trash has more players then quake, also quake-con is getting less and less visitors.

>>334812320
Dead would imply no way to play the game online due to a lack of players or server infrastructure. Quake Live has dedicated servers so the latter will never happen and the former clearly isn't true because there are plenty of people online to allow you to duel at any time of the day.

You're just a nu-age gamer who refuses to play anything that doesn't have thousands of twitch viewers and players on steam.

>>334812636

Updates aren't needed, events are frequent as fuck. There are literally an uncountable amount of online leagues and cups for games like HLDM AG, Quake Live, Warsow, etc.

Its fine you don't like the genre anymore but why do you have to come in the thread and act like a giant pissbaby over people enjoying a game you don't like anymore?

then keep playing and stop making such shitty threads.

Back to the 90's with your shitty, old, dead genre.
>>
>>334801203
Arena shooters are dead. No producer or company wants to make one as it's insanely risky (apart from Unreal Tournament 4) and the numbers are small for all of them.

Still cool to watch them on Youtube though.
>>
>>334809684
It's a pretty useless mechanic.
Unless you're a shitter that can't maintain an ammo count and need to protect yourself while you try to get some. But in that case, you're probably too much of a shitter to time it properly anyway.

It does though. It's where the mainstream is heading. People are sick of slow moving tacticool shit. You can even see shit like COD slowly moving towards arena shooter principles

Arena shooters don't need to come "back" because they are already here.

Washed out visuals do affect gameplay, making everything harder to see due to washed out visuals.

Also why would I play it when 1.6 has great gameplay but isn't tainted by all those flaws of GO?
Why would I play GO when I can play the much better looking CSS if I want something different?

GO is entirely pointless for me since it doesn't offer me anything over 1.6 or Source.

It's probably the nostalgia speaking, but I still think 1.6 has the cleanest and best visuals. I mean, sure, GO has nice textures and models and effects, but it sucks for focus on gameplay.

I think 1.6 in all its clunkiness has a lot of charm.

As much as i hated 1.6, csgo is a fucking clusterfuck of everything.

Background sounds that distract the player? check
Bugged out sound? check
Effects that completely block the visuals like molly's fire and nades? Check
Broken smokes where you can see trough them at times and lots of one ways? check

The game is a fucking mess, even maps are full of props that only add cluster to the visual mess that the game is, not to mention shit maps like nuke were it seems like the creator just put the most possible shit everywhere just because.

Still, i love this game more than 1.6 or source.
>>
>>334815910
The non-existant first shot accuracy is utterly ridiculous. This is a skill-based game. My crosshair is on the enemies head. I fire a single shot. It misses.
I mean, in reality weapons miss a shitload, but it's always been a hallmark of Counterstrike that skill rewards you with success.
Not so much in CS:GO.

>>
>>334801203
This thread is just going to start arguments so I'll throw a 'radical' opinion. Let's see the result.

With evidence showing arena shooters in small numbers, new players are needed. My idea was taking them from the new Doom coming out. My idea is to effectively protest for a classic arena mode/playlist for this new Doom. Don't pre-order or buy until it's in.

Effectively, this mode will start every player with just a pistol (maybe heavy assault rifle or standard shotgun too) and the weapons will be scattered across the map. Due to not starting with weapons, weapon damage can then be increase to make the rocket launcher much more powerful alongside other weapons if necessary. Movement speed will be increased, strafe-jumping can be added, being able to move in the air more freely. Hack modules, demon runes and loadouts can be removed for this mode/playlist.

This causal playlists can allow people to play the game for a blast of fun but if they wish to move on or believe they are ready, a classic, more competitive playlist is there for them to see the other, original side of Doom (and Quake to an extent). If arena shooters are to survive, introducing new players this way can maybe introduce new gamers to the original arena games like Quake 3, etc.

I know people hate Beth, id software and modern games but this seems the best way in my opinion.

Right, opinions, suggestions?

There should be no weapon limit so you have to learn to quickswap all you weapons.
There should be completely different weapons that have different mechanics, that are more useful in some situations and less in others. That way you have to learn and use all of them.
There should be no weapons that abuse bullshit RNG. Ideally no RNG at all.
There should be no weapons or armor on spawn so you have to learn map control.
Maps should have vertical design with lots of jump pads and elevators instead of typical flat bullshit with few corridors like in cs, where instead of expecting enemy from all directions, including up and down, you usually have just one or two corridors where they all be coming from.
Movement should be a lot faster and challenging. There should be areas where you can get only with wall jumps or advanced movement mechanics. Players shouldn't be able to guesstimate the enemy position due to shitty predictable movement speed and shoot through the fucking wall in advance, like they do in cs.
And that's just the few """"issues"""" I have with this """"competitive""""" game.
>>
>>334816631

Well thats mostly cause you are shitter. First two bullets are accurate at certain distances (of course its not accurate from t spawn to doubledoors, this is not a fucking railgun). After that you are supposed to control the recoil. so first to bullets to head, 3-8 jump to chest and then it forms an S.

Theres a reason why europeans like to stand still or crouching instead of running stop and shooting.

Movement speed is too slow, weapon switching is too slow.

Honestly, in my opinion the translocator needs a few seconds of cooldown and movement speed needs an increase. Using the transloc for getting up ledges, porting through grates and so on is great, using it as the primary means to move across longer distances is not.
It's clunky as fuck.

The transloc is probably the reason for why weapon switching is so damn slow, too.

>>
>>334817256
Movement speed is slow, but you have to use jump pad/elevator assisted dodge jumps to get everywhere faster. Dodging speed is superfast on the other hand and has small cooldowns. In small areas people walldodge all overt the place with the lightning speed. That's why it feels very different from quake.

the whole "too hardcore this is why the kids don't play" is stupid. the most popular games nowadays are absurdly complicated and obtuse with horrible feedback. people don't play all these arcane dota games because they're easy to get into. they play them because they have lots and lots of marketing and prey on people's behaviour such as cash shop item shit and gambling.

quake live didn't magically grow after getting loadouts. you could turn the entire game into cod and it wouldn't change a thing

In the best versions of quake (which was why people didn't like QL for so long), a player with better "fps skills" can be someone with a superior stack assuming they aren't just miles ahead.

Shooting doesn't go out the window when map control comes into play

There are other ways to do this than by babying the player who gets a kill

It's really just proto-killstreaks, albeit easier to obtain but less easy to utilize

rewarding the player who wins isn't "babying". this is like complaining that the guy who is put in a commanding position after winning a big battle in an rts is being "babied" because his opponent is left weak.

CS is still fundamentally a reaction to arena shooters. i.e. "I'm 13 and getting destroyed at Quake, please slow down the game massively and introduce things to even the playing field". Nearly 20 years later and it's the same thing, except they bought in more 13 year olds with le ebin skin collection


>>334821561
>>334821496

There is nothing skill based about CS. It's just memorization of arbitrary things like spread and recoil that only exist in that form in CS, with none of the skills transferring to any other shooter.

That's why retards still play CS after so long, because they can't actually git gud at anything else

You can't memorize the random spread, only the recoil patterns, but even then the spread is so great that it practically doesn't even matter since most people tap shoot and there's RNG on every shot except for shotguns.

Except that isn't true because Arena shooters actually teach skills. A Quake player will be pretty good at UT, Tribes, etc, plus any of these shitty modern shooters.

CS only teaches you to be good at CS and nothing else. Memorising Dust and playing it for 20 years is not actually skill

yeah im really glad VAC is 100% reliable :^)
>>
>>334822363
It's impossible to 'git gud' at RNG, though.

That combined with the slow movement, punishment for movement and shallow tactical depth make this game the lowest skill ceiling FPS on the market.

It's a decent team strategy game, though.

>tfw people assume QL will be difficult to get into (i got into it in 2014, being my first multiplayer FPS to put a significant amount of time into - it was one of the easier MP games to get into), bring up loadouts and say the game is shit without really knowing anything about them (or rather, how they pretty much didn't effect the game at all), which have been removed, or assume it's too dead to play
It's pretty annoying. People just seem to gravitate towards what has the players, as opposed to what has the fun/good gameplay. I wonder how many QL players come to /v/.
>>
>>334830546
Reflex seems to have incredibly fun gameplay, both serious duels, fun CTF and great movement in races. But: I'm really hesitant to buy it because of its freakishly small playerbase.

No artists and making new stuff for UT4 is beyond the scope of most people here. It may be obtuse to work with but SS13 is still sprite shit. The game needs Lore and Waifus for people to work with to generate content for generals.
You also need stuff to shitpost about during content provider downtime to keep post counts up and E-Drama. So you need personalities for people to hate and Zack and Goober are the most inoffensive people about.

You sprint if you run for a few seconds without sharp changes of direction. What I want to know is how the fuck that gunner wasnt paste before he got half those kills. Are the reds all 0 Bots or retards?
>>334830546
I jumped on QL just earlier actually because I had a hankering for it. What is wrong is everyone grabs one of 2 weapons on startup. Rocket launcher or Lightning gun. They then spam it in the direction of players. That is all that happens and in the end theres a 4 kill spread between the bottom of the group and the top player. It's fucking retarded.

Most of my time in Reflex is race because there's so few players. I don't think that will ever change. It do prefer the gameplay of it over QL (I play a good amount of PQL), and the netcode is great. Reflex will probably only be useful for pugs, or if you have some buddies to play with. I'm just happy QL isn't dead, that update with the loadouts almost killed the game. The population halved two times in two months. People should've known that server hosts would be able to disable them.

It will but there's like all of 5 people actually working on the game. Everyone else at Epic is on either the engine or the new moba game.

There's at the least some map makers working on maps and someone allegedly made a rudimentary vehicle mode but how far all that gets is up to the modders.
