> spacebar

when will those models get ripped?
also, when he shows his face, does he move it in his intro?

The whole unstoppable faceless demon killer thing they went with in nudoom never jived with me. Doomguy's profile always gave me the impression that he was just a typical military man.

>typical military man

Arena > Classic > Marine (no helmet) > Praetor

/arena/ seems pretty bad at this game

I don't own doomguy yet, but doom 3's guy does facial aniamtions so I assume he does too

>doomguy
>typical military man
retard

>125 hp
>medium hitbox
Only downside is his speedcap, nobody else has a hitbox that small with that much health.

if you get the classic skin, can you give me a webm of his face moving, when he punches the camera?

>/vg/
>bad at a game

say it ain't so

next you'll tell me Sup Forums is full of casuals

They're too busy forcing themselves to waifu un-waifu-able characters, because Crash and Hunter aren't there yet

considering im the guy who made all these images of doomguy to make threads for, it's already a priority

i wish they'd cover his abs
that's all

he was stuck in hell for like an eternity of course it'd take a toll on him man

ok, hope that happens
i've seen that there's an option to cover his abs

A typical military man that can run something like 50mph carrying a few hundred founds of gear, yes.

I don't mind mute but expressive

matpat get out

I like the Caco hat

more like caca hat

Why didn't BJ get the 3D BJ head from Xbox live?

Crash when?

On startup

kek

I never cared about the character in general.

I keep saying he has unusually good stack

Double jump is also good to avoid RL users

Yes, he is annoying as fuck to try to hit with rockets. LG rapes him when he gets locked into a double jump tho

Not everyone has a pocket LG at all times. On many maps it's common to find people only with the RL not long after spawn. Being able to give to lower the efficiency of one weapon from the holy trinity (RL, LG and Rail) is a huge thing

Yeah. I find it especially annoying on the church map where the LG seems to take forever to respawn

FUCK the LG. Will it ever get nerfed?

How do I get better at railgun? Just keep using it?

...

Only way to make QC an instant buy is if they added his face to the bottom of the screen and have him smile whenever he picked up weapons or quad damage.

>it's an "user thinks every weapon should be as viable as the next" episode

The champions are supposed to be balanced against eachother, NOT the weapons. Shotgun and HMG are supposed to be lower tier hitscan weapons than the LG, and if you brought the LG down to their level the game would fall apart and become very camp-ey

I have spent about 0 seconds looking into this.

Is it Overwatch, Overwatch Deathmatch, or something different?

desu, I think the frustration comes from the varying health levels of characters. A new nyx or anarki player is going to get torn to shreds by the lightning gun compared to if they are sorlag or scalebearer.

Didnt the LG used to be stronger in previous games because everyone had the same health?

I guess. Why does it feel like it does so little damage?

>Shotgun and HMG are supposed to be lower tier hitscan weapons than the LG

It's more like "every weapon is meant to be good for a specific situation". Shotgun from close will out-DPS the LG and sometimes even the RL

The perception of the LG being "broken" is due to the situation it's good at (i.e. mid range engagements without much cover) being a very common situation

Another thing contributing to this perception, on QC specifically, is the shit netcode and the prevalence of dud rockets. The RL is supposed to be a good counter for the LG from close, but it can be a bit of a crapshoot in QC

>idnt the LG used to be stronger in previous games because everyone had the same health?

LG is insane in Q1, 30 damage a pop. It's equivalent to the quadded version in QC. But RL is also much better so the balance kind of works out

It's roughly as strong in Q3, but weaker in QL. Weaker LG and Rail is a large part of what made QL duels to boring to watch, aggressive playstyles are much weaker with weaker weapons and lower TTKs

Because you are only able to hit the big tanky characters. At least that's how I rationalize it.

Reminder that we should have gotten a full singleplayer game like Doom and Wolfenstein got, not a shitty hero shooter.

I don't notice dud rockets, though I have seen footage of them. I know the rocket delay was fixed but I still feel like the netcode should be better at times, they dont feel JUST right yet, only slightly better than the beta earlier this year

>"le "video game heros are so wacky man recover from gunshots by eating a while turkey" retard Reddit humor belonging on an already played out shitty family guy/robot chicken type joke

They already said they're working on it

This is a good point. I think the thing I'm most mad about is the naillgun. I find it impossible to lead my shots, because the nails are fucking microscopic. I can't learn where to lead my shots if I can't see it.

>no LAN

Dead on arrival.

Aim with mouse and strafe keys not just mouse

...

Don't tell me I just played you about 3 hours ago on Church

There's this cool fucking attachement that adds extra armor to doomguy, one covers his abs, which I really like

>get champions pack with my Ryzen 1600
>don't want it
>can't trade it

What did they mean by this

It's Quake

giv quake champions pack fren

it ebays for like $15 I guess, but its quake

what would you want for it? I sorta want the ruby skin

It's a game where arena shooting and advanced movement and situational weapon choice and map control wins the match

I've played plenty of Quake but I thought the gimmick of this one was the Champions have different abilities.

Are you having a stroke?

Sorry fren, I will hold on to it just in case

Idk desu. I kinda want L4D2 to play with one of my friends but it's full price right now

>no robo-hitlear head instead
nigga plz.

I'm not even sure you can trade it. The Ebay listings mention needing an AMD Rewards account "With 5 points and existing 1 month". I absolutely have an account on there over a month old but damned if I know what points are or where you look them up since the webpage has no mention of them anywhere, including my profile.

everyone still uses the same weapons. characters dictates a main ability, max hp/armor, and sometimes a passive.

Doomguy is 125 max hp and 50 max armor outside of mega hp/armors, has a double jump, and can activate an active that makes him berserk with speed and punches (sort of shit right now but they'll tune that shit)

compare that to like Slash

Slash is 100 max hp and 25 max armor outside of mega hp/armors, can slide to increase her speed (its tricky but very rewarding), and her active causes a temporary damage field in her path (that you can detonate either manually or let it expire and detonate) and also provides her with a decent speed boost

Got the game yesterday

Even with my aim which is way, WAY above average i still think the hit detection on this game is dog fucking shit.

So many times i missed dead on rail shots, so many times i had my tracking centered with the hitbox and for the first 3-5 ticks no damage was registered.

Game micro sutteres like crazy too.

Even with all those issues it's still the most fun i've had in an FPS for the past 4 years.

I hope they fix everything.

Also, Sorlag is OP as shit, the only downside is her big ass hitbox. there is literally no reason to play Anarki with this bitch in.

Yes but I'm saying arena shooting still dominates the gameplay

Slash's plasma trail is shit. It's somewhat useful in Sacrifice to make a trap around the totem, but I've never seen anyone with a brain fall for it. I don't think anyone died to it in Quakecon either

This game has the worst netcode of any Quake, but they could always fix it

>I hope they fix everything.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Bethesda and id won't fix this shitty esports lootbox hero shooter cashgrab. They won' because they're greedyt; they can't because they're incompetent.

different health and armor caps do not belong in quake

>there is literally no reason to play Anarki with this bitch in.

I can really tell you just started playing.

It's extremely frustrating.
I'm still on the stage of re-getting used to playing quake.

I haven't realy touched any quake-likes since Warsow died in my country back in 2011, getting my ass raped in most matches.

But man, airshotting the FUCK out of someone feels so satisfying in this game.

That's what I meant when I said you can't trade it through steam. From what I understand, you put the code on the AMD website and it adds it directly to your library on steam

They're adding a classic mode last I checked, but the age of pure arena shooter are over. You need heroes and ultimate buttons to attract new blood.

Yeah, but luckily her sliding is neat enough to keep her from being entirely useless

>sorlag is female now
fuck you bethesda

Like i said, Sorlag has big hitboxes, i get hit a lot more with her then when im playing Anarki.

Both characters have CPMA like base movement, both can strafe/circle jump to gain speed and turn corners while keeping their speed up.

What does anarki has over Solarg?

So the champions don't play drastically differently, it's just little shit?

My initial reaction is that if they're so similar they don't really counter/combo for any drastic effect then there's no reason to play more than the 2-3 "best" ones, or ever switch from the one that fits your play style the best. About right?

>Both characters have CPMA like base movement

Actually only Anarki has CPMA movement (SJs +bhop), Sorlag has Quakeworld movement (i.e. can bhop but not SJ)

>What does anarki has over Solarg?

Anarki is the best champion currently, dude. Fastest, instant heal (with permanent max health increase everytime you heal, which is kept between respawns), tiny hitbox

Is there a way to try before purchasing? Not a fan of Early Access, even if it is Quake.

I see, i've been ignoring the OW shit they threw in for the most part (hero abilities)

Been playing this shit like Q3.

Will try to pay more attention tho this crap.

its free on bethesda's launcher

Only if you played the beta.

No it isn't. Don't fucking talk about shit you know nothing about.

I mean they're noticeable, but it's not like completely different shit like tf2/overwatch. You all have access to the same guns, but once a minute (or far less depending on how many cooldown reducers you pick up) they do something like spit some poison or turn invisible for a few seconds.

There are characters with simpler actives like Anarki that heals you up and gives you a few points extra to your max hp for the rest of the match even if you die though.

This stuff DOES happen, but its pretty rare. Like maybe once every 2 games I get some of this nonsense. The real fucking problem is when people leave and join the server and it rubber bands like crazy - that shit makes me rage hard

If you didn't redeem a beta code, you can't play for free anymore.

oopsie :)
its ok the games pretty awful anyways

There are per character variances but if I had said that, you would've just made up your own conclusion. But the fact is, your skill in arena shooting determines the outcome of the match

>been watching this QL stream for 2 hours
>only 1 drop

Hero abilities isn't even the problem, it's when they shit out free kills effortlessly instead of giving you character tools. In Quake, you don't drown in free kills by hitting F

>pretty rare
>once every 2 games

Once every 2 games is ridiculously often, dude. You're not gonna enjoy losing a character on Duel over a dud/reduced damage rocket

For me it's pretty much a dud rocket every 20 rockets I hit or so. Way too fucking high. Last match I played we lost TDM 59 to 58 and a Nyx simply ignored the damage of my last-minute rocket to her face (she was going up a jump pad, I just fired down). Feels bad man

>pretty rare
>once every 2 games
That sounds pretty fucking broken for a competitive game. If you said this happened once every 20 games maybe it wouldn't matter so much.

Yeah, there is some seriously screwy shit going on with the rockets sometimes. I hope they fix it. I know that feel /vro.

I can't seem to get any runes out of the backpacks either. Out of the last 20 I opened i got 2 and thats all I want outta them

Once every 20 is still too often. A map is only 10 minutes

This is a shooting game, there can't be any issues with the shooting. If my shots don't work for no discernible reason and I have 40ms ping, there's something wrong with the game

Why is the nailgun so fucking shit?

Super Nailgun is solid. You can get in close and out-DPS anything if you're ballsy

Yeah, its not perfect but I still have faith that it can be fixed. I really love quake and if they ruin this game I will be very upset. I only got back into it in the last two months and I ended up maining BJ. Not because he's the best but because he has the most motivating spawn talks when you're getting rekt. Might sound stupid but it definately helped me

She always was you retard. Go look back at Q3.

Well yeah, but just look at CSGO, it's got a huge successful pro scene. You'll get CSGO'd by shit client side hit reg maybe once a day.

Fucking PUBG is the most popular game on steam and the servers are 20 tick. The standards are pretty low already.

>Male (presumably)

Sorlag is cute!
