The closed beta of Quake Champions was playable this weekend, as we were invited to try it here are some 1440p60 gameplay videos.
MrWhite Instead people consult the oracles on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. All of them with bastardised and warped views of the world driven by decades of repressed bigotry as a hand me down at dinner. (14 Hours ago)
MrWhite both on economic systems and a base understanding of the political spectrum. All you need to do is read a couple of books about history or biographies on prominent historical figures and events (14 Hours ago)
MrWhite Look at what we've done with it instead. And you're 100% correct about the public now paying more through taxes and tariffs. That would have been obvious to anyone with a modicum of education (14 Hours ago)
MrWhite What's alarming with these two things is that on their own, they're two amazing things. The internet should have been a great gift to humanity in driving it forward. (14 Hours ago)
MrWhite @jmd749: I strongly believe the internet and widespread misinformation tools in the combination of smart phones and social media have done serious damage (14 Hours ago)
jmd749 now tired people are glad for it to be "over" now with both sides convincing us that boris' deal is better than no deal. 2 sides of the same stinking coin, with the poor getting shafted as per usualol (1 Day ago)
jmd749 I remember them wearing their remain buttons in the City with every confidence it won't go ahead, then the drama of camron leaving, may leaving,and boris exhausting the people with all the brexit talk (1 Day ago)

Could you please give your impressions of the closed beta? And if you've played past Quake games, how does Champions compares to them?
Thanks in advance.

Miguel: Well, it's Quake.
You're welcome. :D
Okay... That's a great answer actually. It means it's as great as past games, gameplay wise. So that's a relief. Was afraid they had changed too much of the formula like they did with Doom's multiplayer, where they tried to imitate Halo or CoD.
Thanks, Grift.
PS. Btw, when will you guys do some Unreal Tournament's videos? I know it's far from completed, but it would be nice to generate some awareness.
There are no new weapons, and only one weapon missing from Q1-3, but it's a pretty major omission. There's no grenade launcher. That's an iconic Quake weapon. I feel like it needs to be in here and it's not. Some weapon tweaks are a bit controversial at the moment (the RL), but overall combat feels great. Movement, momentum, bunnyhopping, etc.. all feels good but it's important to remember that it's not Quake 3 Arena.
It's a fun if flawed game. It may be the only new free for all DM game that people actually play.
Well, I don't remember playing Quake before, not my kind of game nowadays, back in the days I played a lot of UT2k3 and UT2004, but mostly in InstaGib modes.
Nonetheless it was quite enjoyable, too bad I did not have enough time to play more this weekend, but I'll certainly try more when it's released.
I only played with two characters, Nyx and Ranger, I liked both even if Nyx has less health and armor, it was fun being able to get invisible (for a limited time) and get behind opponents to kill them.
NDA lifted when this article went online.
EDIT : found these impressions on Gaf : http://www.usgamer.net/articles/quake-champions-be...
Thanks for the info! While I'm not very interested in Multiplayer games, I asked because of other people who might be. This is a way to have the impressions of game by the people who played so others could see, and if it interests them, maybe they will try it.
