Quake Champions is still the best classic deathmatch shooter.
Fast paced, quick damage, quick kills, quick moves - modern shooters rarely have those features.

I liked this game from the very beginning and still like it. If you have a free minute, I go to play with pleasure

The game has very high skill requirements, but is still great to play with friends in a private lobby. Original fast-paced cybersporty shooter, where you can die and kill with a matter of seconds. Lots of secondary mechanics to keep in mind - armor, individual health, rocket jumps, self damage, spawn timers and personal abilities.
This game will settle which one of you is the real cyber-shooting master... until the next round starts.

I saw someone write recently "why use aim trainers when you have this game" and it all clicked for me. With the custom game types, you can practice tracking in AAAArena in the Warehouse map, practice leading with rockets with Hot Rockets in the Midair map, and flicks with Instagib.
I've never won a pub deathmatch, but losing hardly subtracts from the fun of this game. It's so fast paced and adrenaline inducing, and once you realize you're playing with veterans, it starts to become more of a competition against yourself. There's arguably no skill ceiling higher than the Quake franchise, which means no matter how much you grind and practice, you can always get better. The satisfaction of watching your KDR and weapon accuracy slowly improve over time, nailing more insane trick shots, and laying successful traps is unparalleled for me. The movement mechanics make it so that you always have a small chance at out-maneuvering and winning a fight with a player more skilled than yourself.
If you want to push your abilities to the limit and give yourself the ultimate challenge, Quake is always there for you

Its a wash. The gameplay and graphics, physics is all great, The ''champions'' are one of the worst ideas in the FPS gaming industry (battle royale revivals is second). If all champions were equal without abilities (atleast as an option) then it would be a great game to play.

This is a great game and fantastic arena shooter. There are so few games like this anymore and that's a huge shame. I played Unreal Tournament and UT2004 back in the day for thousands of hours. Awesome games. Quake Champions is worthy to sit on the arena shooter throne until Epic gets off their asses and makes Unreal Tournament 4. The Mortal Kombat-ish announcer voice is a cherry on top too :)

great game very underated, sadly it is a dead game with only a few hundred players left :{

the way they used the hero shooter idea as a way to incorporate almost every major iteration of quake movement into one game without any of them feeling useless or unfair is really clever game design. its a game where your skill with a keyboard and mouse determines how fast you can go- it isnt super easy or intuitive, but if youre willing to learn, theres no game as satisfying as quake
every aspect of the game follows this ideal. weapons have no random spread and items spawn in reliable locations, with respawn timers that you can keep track of if you try. everything is a real learnable skill, and the only elements of randomness are spawn locations and the unpredictability (or predictability) of other players. if you want a game that is truly rewarding to master, with nothing to blame your failures on but yourself, it doesnt get much better than quake!

It's great fun, but time between matches is long and there's a lack of content. Though it's the one game i can be an evil dino lizard and spit venom on people so it's automatically 10/10

I was happily surprised this game still has a community playing it. Quake just never gets old to me. Years later I start playing again and it feels like I never stopped. It's just a lot of fun once you learn the movement mechanics and where all the ammo and hp/ap spawns are. I highly recommend this game to anyone who wants a fast paced arena shooter
