Its had a troubled life with a very bad start, but I love this game. The worst of its issues have largely been patched now, and the recently revised netcode makes playing across regions significantly more bearable. Lets try and give this franchise with the best gunplay the rennaisance it deserves
After waiting 10 minutes for a match and then proceed to play against the same person three games in a row, I realized that this game is utterly and completely dead.
Came back to this after years of not playing it (I was a beta tester for the game originally) and WOW it's amazing how far along the game has come over the years! At first it was a bit shaky, some issues etc, in fact I found it was more playable during the beta than the initial launch version but there we go, that's why I stopped playing. Now, I have realised this is something I should play more of, they've really polished the game and it all just works! I'd go as far as saying it's the only good game Bethesda has ever made... oh wait, they didn't id Software developed it! Nevermind, that would explain why it's an actual good, bugless and all around well made optimised game.

Thank you for everything SyncError, and ♥♥♥♥ you Microsoft.
Hahahaha id software layoffs hahahaha... They even fired the dev who was carrying the game., That's what you get for trusting games that don't let you host your own servers! Losers! Quake Live Forever!
i have played this game off and on for about 5 years. it was one of the reasons i finally built a pc ~2021. i have several gripes with the game, and they have persisted just as long: cosmetics/progression: battle pass XP progression is so slow it might as well not even move the bar at all. you need to buy boosters to unlock anything. even then, i am not sure if there is still a premium tier in most battle passes which you'd need other currency for. netcode/lag: it is horrendous, even on my closest regional servers in the US. players with ping 30-40 still are lagging around the map and i am rubberbanding. feels terrible, and kills a game like quake. playerbase: generally very hostile and toxic; tread cautiously. not a good place to find friends. this is pretty bad for an endangered game genre like quake's. champions/guns: the guns are all fun and easy to understand. so are most of the hero abilities but i don't know why all the champions are still not unlocked by default. at least there is a rotating pair of free champions every so often. load times: miserable. i don't understand why it takes so long to do anything in this game.
Я так понимаю игра была ранее в раннем доступе? Потому что дата выхода 2022 год, а играл я в неё явно раньше. Ну да ладно. Явный плюс игры - это кастомизация персонажа. Можно орудовать и навешивать на него разного рода одежду, уборы и тд. Явный минус игры - персонажей надо покупать за деньги. Но игра бесплатная, понятно, что компании нужно делать деньги из чего-то. Я играл в детстве в Quake III Arena и немного в Quake Live и не сильно силён (!) в этой дисциплине. Тяжело сказать, что именно в геймплее так, а что не так. Лично я игру не воспринимал серьезно, хотя может и стоило. Уж простите, здесь мое мнение не стоит буквально ничего. Но вот вам занимательная статистика. Quake Live (вышел в 2010) имеет 462 игрока прямо сейчас и 250 в среднем, а Quake Champions (вышел в 2022) имеет 440 игроков прямо сейчас и 260 в среднем. В среднем имеется ввиду за день. Можно конечно сказать, что подобный жанр устарел и все сейчас в королевских битвах, в экстракшн шутерах и ещё в какой-нибудь бурде, но думается, что нужен хороший маркетинг и должная реализация и dedication разработчиков в самом процессе. Есть имя, есть бренд, но онлайн крайне мал. Думайте.
Damn, this game is so fun... I'm just sad I find it so late... It gives me full Quake 3 Arena feeling, but on steroids, much better graphics, double jump, special powers based on your character. Damn, it's so good.
please allow localhosting or implement a server browser :(
Meh.
