Nice we should all play some arena shooters sometime. That's the real FPS experience.

Nice, always liked arena shooters and their high learning curves. Different dynamic for sure. How active is the Q3/QL competitive scene nowadays? I really liked the old QuakeCon competitions hosted on Quake Live.

I can't really comment on QL as i haven't jumped into that one since 2011/2012 or so, but it no longer has the playernumbers that it used to have, back in the old days.

They (ID Software) kinda put the final nail in the coffin when Quake Champions was released and QL was dropped by QuakeCon, so the pro players also moved over to QC. But even before that, mistakes were made by ID Software itself, they jumped from a Free2Play model to a monthly subscription model and then finally to a single-payment/retail model, and the patches that were released added unnessary things like Loadouts (which was meant to lure new young blood into the game), but nobody really cared about those additions. Quake 3 CPMA (Challenge ProMode Arena mod) is another thing, it's maintained by its own community, pretty similar to what Team Simple is doing for BF1942. It's pretty dead as well, but you should be able to get games going by privately arranging matches through Discord.

The learning curve is indeed steep, in fact, some of those jumps you see in the video (for example to the red armor ledge), takes days or perhaps weeks to learn and months to perfect. It's not a very welcoming game to new players, they often just get raped and never come back again. It's why that whole genre is a niche and so unpopular. But i love those type of games, it took me years to reach a high level, and the feeling you get when you finally start beating pro players is something truly special.

Re: you favourite games apart from Battlefield

I love seeing all these classic FPS and competitive games getting the appreciation they deserve. Arena shooters really do test skill like no other genre, and it’s crazy how deep some of them go - mastering movement mechanics alone can take weeks.

That said, sometimes I just need to unwind with something completely different. Lately, I’ve been messing around with Eggy Car Game - it’s a simple physics-based driving game where you balance an egg on a car while trying not to crack it. Sounds ridiculous, but it’s surprisingly addictive! Anyone else here ever played it? Might not have the high skill ceiling of Quake, but it sure knows how to test patience.
