It's kinda hard to say, but the abilities and stuff they show gives the vibe of it being class based. Why can't anybody just make a good straight-up arena shooter?

That was completely boring and uninspiring. Am I getting old and/or am does this just look like a failed attempt to resurrect a dead series?

It's not being sandy to not want to blow money on the most recent crappy rehash of the same old thing OR a shitty class based shooter masquerading as an arena shooter. Quake shouldn't be about having different characters with different abilities. Give me an updated Q3A, maybe some new movement mechanics that everyone has access too, not some bullshit "press Q to teleport/dash/cloak/whatever" that's unique to each character.

Or the new Doom, though I saw something the other day suggesting that id may take development on the MP back from the outside contractor they had originally design it.

It was my understanding from the E3 presentation that a regular arena mode was due to be released in sometime later this summer. Strike that found an actual article reference for it:
http://bethesda.net/#en/events/game/doom-at-e3-2016-demo-free-updates-and-premium-dlc/2016/06/12/137

or...TL;DR
"Later this summer, DOOM will also be updated with three additional free-for-all modes, including beloved classic mode. All of these new modes will be playable on any existing or future maps, and will be free for all players."

If that rings true, it'd be reason enough for me to buy DOOM4 at that point.

Yeah, looks like they pulled MP development back in-house.

""We worked with Certain Affinity through the launch of the game and really appreciate their contributions and effort on the game," Marty Stratton, executive producer and game director for Doom, told Eurogamer. Going forward, id’s own teams will be working on adding features, squashing bugs and rooting out cheaters."

Agreed with Anreill, I just want a pure arena shooter. I'm worried this is going to be compared to Overwatch too much. But I guess I sympathize with id, they need to make money and we are a tiny part of the consumer base.

Worst part of the news was the less trumpeted point that Quake Champions is not being developed by id software either, but by "Saber Interactive".

The different classes seem fairly balanced at this point. I found that each character was a joy to play despite the fact that I was absolute trash at the game.

I'm also pretty bad at the game but I enjoyed it.

Also it seems you don't need a super PC to run it.

If we were in the year 2000 this would be GOTY. Buuuuut, it's not good. As I played the beta I kept thinking "did this franchise die"?

I am afraid that newer engines/game have made Quake Champions obsolete before it even came out.

They did this years ago.

Q3A and Quake Live is all you should need.

Loving the beta.....its fast paced and easy to pick up and play....

Definitely what the FPS genre needs! As most shooters now are overly complicated and full of nanny state bullshit

Also I have a spare beta key for somebody at the LAN

Agreed!

Not sure if that's in the beta.
