THIS OR QUAKE LIVE?

[Destroy the meat bags (6/6)]

ive had quake live for years and im just now reacquiring my taste for arena fps combat but i got champions for free when it went on special and i mean hey, better graphics alone sort of reels me toward playing that instead of live but which one has more players right now?

Also, is there a better way to find matches with champions than the matchmaking it offers? Can i not pull up a server browser?

Just trying to avoid fighting so many bots, and also where the heck is Capture the flag!?

This, visualy stunning ... complete virtual )))

CTF is said to be the next mode being added, I would expect it not to come before August (quakecon)

Definitely THIS, when it is complete. Even now it is pretty good.

Unfortunately, it is still in development and not many players or features are in yet.

I find the bots somewhat ok, but I just guess they turned the tap a little bit too hard on letting go players start matches with few actual players, rather than AI.

I just had a TD game, where it was 1v1 players and the rest were bots.. Not that I complain that much. Just feels weird.

Are you facing bots as much in ranked mode? i dont have access to ranked yet hmm havent checked to see what level im supposed to be. im an old school quake guy lol and by that i mean 26. I still have my hard copies of quake 1,2,3 and 4; i know 4 is dead as i played it when it came out and it started way hot but its community vanished fast. I was almost going to ask if i should just install the OG quake III arena hahaa. I mean i got the hard cd but i got my doubts about software from 1999 running too well on my 2017 build not to mention many other peoples'

I am not sure if there are bots in ranked (1v1 duel or 2v2 DM) currently. I don't think so.
And I am not really competitive and I actually have something like a ranked-fever, so I don't really play it very much :D

There shouldn't be a problem to run your Q3, though the vanilla I guess is dead for Multiplayer.
Oh, the times.. My favourite Quake game was Quake 3: Team Arena, but I am so sad it never really got a good player base. For me it is the ultimate Quake experience with the bigger variety in modes, voice-taunts, etc.

here here I loved Team Arena but i lost my cd key plus my disc had trouble installing when i needed to because it was scratched up. I saw it come on steam ages ago and was skeptical thinking there wouldnt be many players left because i remember it already didnt gather a mass like regular Q3 did which ticked me off because it had more weapons and sick maps and was just basically Q3+. ughh i want quake to just blow up again so bad.

The question should be, This or UT4?

UT is a completely different to this one. I feel the UT to be much more clunky and those pesky side-dashes.. I can't stand them. You have the Clutch champion for that type of play, if you are into it and want to have both of the two worlds.

This shouldn't even be a question, quake live is dead, unless you like spending your time playing clan arena with the same 10 people every day. QC currently still has potential to garner a decent playerbase.

[Destroy the meat bags (6/6)]

i feel like UT4 is way more dead, I tried it for a bit and while there were steadily at least a low amount of players, it was a pretty low amount. That game has to be advertised and finished, its been like 4 years. and yeah that side strafing has gotten in my way more than i can stand.

[InThePipe5by5]

I am also waiting for Freeze Mode. Like freeze tag or Clan Arena FT. I loved that mode.

[oH!No]

Well you can try it but be aware this is just eye candy 3 maps grind festival with only two modes DM and Instagib FFA. You'll get bored after week. And also after week you'll hate rocket launchers and tribolts most op weap in game. If you see anyone is using other than these two weapons you know is a newbro or grinding runes quests :D

QL = better game, bad community
QC = tolerable community, inferior game

There are also obvious differences like graphics, price, the champion system, the size of the player pool, your PC hardware, etc., to consider.

[jiggly]

Wouldnt say QC is inferior game in any kind of scenario or theory-crafting. It has 5k Steam players online, while QL has 350 and Id Software closed down QL support team.

Quake Champs all the way. Game feels great right now
