Quake Champions
Quake Champions delivers the dark mythos of the first Quake combined with the groundbreaking multiplayer mayhem of Quake III Arena with a major modern twist – Champions. These fierce warriors each wield unique attributes and abilities, enabling players to compete in their own distinctive style, while adding an additional layer of strategy to the game.
Key Features
The Next Great Quake Multiplayer Game
Quake’s signature rocket jumping, skill-based competition, and incredible speed remains intact, providing veterans with a welcome return and new players a fresh way to showcase their multiplayer skills.
Incredible, Diverse Champions
Quake Champions introduces a roster of elite Champions, each equipped with unique attributes and abilities that are additive to Quake’s established gameplay. Champion skills offer a great variety to fit your play style.
Uncompromising Weapons, Ready for Battle
Quake’s devastating arsenal of flesh-chewing weaponry, including fan-favorites like the thunderous Rocket Launcher, electrifying Lightning Gun, and snipe-tastic Railgun are back alongside new additions for you to master.
Intense Game Modes
Established and beloved game modes return, including the gib-filled fragfests of Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch and the competitive fury of 1v1 Duel mode, while a new team-based mode, Sacrifice, joins the fray.
End Boss 1
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.

Would I prefer that they cut out all the champion BS and made every character play the same?
Yes. Absolutely.
Is this still fun despite the differences in abilities, hit boxes, health, and armor between champions?
Yes.
Can you find a game in any other arena shooter?
Possibly in Quake Live but it's an extremely small community. As of October 2019 Quake Live was averaging 255 players online vs Quake Champion's average of 519 players. Unreal Tournament is dead. Toxikk is dead. Reflex Arena is dead.
Have id and Bethesda abandoned this game?
Yes.
Is the death of this genre deeply depressing to me?
YES.

Sadly, this is just another endless "early access" with avg 500-600 players worldwide. I can't find a single DM, TDM in South America.
Battleroyales killed the genre before it was reborn.
RIP Quake, RIP Unreal :'(

I really hope this game gets its crap together. I don't wanna see Quake die.

This is a tough one.. terrible for a game of the Quake series ("game as a service", no id-tech engine, performance issues, no demo recording...), but still one of the best AFPS around.
Worth trying for sure, but I doubt Quake Champions will ever get out of early access. I've been involved with QC since closed beta and unfortunately, not much has happened in the last couple years..
I'm recommending because it can absolutely be fun to play - but I hate that this game isn't much MUCH better.

Played this for about 1000 hours.
There's more to this but these points are most important to me.
I gave this a recommended score solely as it is now FREE and to atleast give it a chance.
However, i'm still very critical of this release.
Pros:
- I enjoy using different characters that have their own style of movement from different older titles.
- The complaints about it having Overwatch-style character pickings that can carry you are GROSSLY exaggerated
- A few nice new maps.
Cons:
- Clearly no longer supported. I dont expect it to ever hit ver.1
- Desperately needs new maps. Especially catered to specific modes.
- while Quake fundamentals are still king, in some modes certain characters i feel have unfair advantages in certain modes.
- Eisens turret ability doesn't feel right in a quake game.
- Long loadingtimes
- Weird hiccups online
Overall, I truly enjoyed playing this game. But feel sad to say it didn't live up to the potential it might've had.
This is a Quake game at its core that got off to a rough start. It had image issues (hardcore og quake? or for casual Overwatch audience?) wich caused people to mindlessly slander it to seem hardcore yet also scared away the more casual crowd. (even though i'm convinced arenashooters are very fun as a noob when you play with fellow skill level players)
The loyal fanbase criticized its performance and netcode problems, with good reasons. That was the problem that should've been fixed right from the start. Then build from there. Now i think it's too late.
Some of the weaponmodels and characters were nice. Although i'm not a fan of the Ranger redesign.
I hope we'll ever see Galena in a game again.
As a short end note to the devs, id and bethesda.
I enjoyed this. This had potential. I'm not a fan of early access games, I paid the championspack/pre-order thing to support a new quake game. I did this even before i knew it became free to play (it technically isn't yet, as its not 'officially' out yet)
I got my moneys worth. But somewhere it still hurts a little.
This franchise and loyal community are very precious. Don't squander that potential.

It's unfortunate that the Arena Shooter is dying, I have a lot of fun in this game when playing with friends, but unfortunately, there's not enough people playing to have balanced matches.

Finally all server issues are fixed and game runs flawless (at least for me). Feels like a good old fashioned fast paced Quake! Good to be back. Highly recommended!!!
