In the latest dev stream they had some comments about plans for CA and CTF. We've been loud and clear about CTF, so I figured why not have a poll about how we feel about CA :)

.... what if, you would think this thru a little bit more, since the whole point is to bring CTF in/faster. Yet no ctf options in your poll, none, njente, nada, nema. .... i mean cmon. ... so vocal against CA, he forgot to add ctf before CA.
I was under the impression the wish for CTF was quite universal and nobody really doubted it, so what's the point of that....
I pondered adding instagib or freezetag, however it would be clunky to add and less would vote on it. But seriously, who in their right mind doesn't agree we need CTF :)
i think there are few people who dont want ctf in qc, but there are a lot of people who do not care either way. havent played ctf in the last 10 years of playing quake games, i doubt that qc ctf will change that
I would rather have bots or at least a training map with moving targets to test stuff in. I think it would be good for new players as well to be able to test weapons, abilities and movement without having to worry about competing with other players.
When I'm trying new characters, I feel like the last 10 seconds of warmup, when you cant use weapons, are the most important of the game. This is when you can try new jumps ect...
Clan Arena is the only way to play high player count matches
16v16 makes it much easier to ELO balance teams
Clan Arena is also an important mode for training because you don't have to search for weapons, you can always pick the right weapon for the situation
Most casuals will never move beyond CA into the real game but that's OK - it's like BGH was back in the Starcraft days, something everyone can pick up and play and feel slightly useful no matter how bad you are, and if you get really good maybe you move on to duel and other modes, most people never will, but the mode is popular enough it keeps bringing new blood in
The fact that CA wasn't the highest priority when it the game launched just goes to show that id has their head in the sand and has no clue what modes the average person who plays Quake have actually been playing for the past decade
And Epic made the same mistake when they started UT4
+ it's easy to spectate/follow, and noobs can Watch how people are playing when they are dead.
It's also a mode where people actually talk/write to each other when they are dead, and that's actually something quite important. Because at the moment you kinda feel alone in QC when you dont have friends playing it.
This also 100%. Even Quake fans shoot themselves in their stupid fucking feet by going on the 'LOLCA' rollercoaster. Anyone who actually KNOWS the history of Quake and what kept it afloat all of these years will know that RA3 kept Quake going - why? Because it allowed 'newbies' to enjoy the game, get better, and then progress to CTF, TDM, Duel. Without RA3 a LOT of players would never have emerged, the game would have died so much earlier. Lets face it, only the noobest of noobs played FFA all of the time, it was basically the dung flinging assbergers arena. RA3 was actually a step up on that, it created a massive community across Europe, leagues and tournaments. This is the kind of entry level, enjoyable mod QC needed. But the hardcore Quake players actually did effect ID - ID actually listened to Quake players, and guess what? They ended up being misinformed by fucking stuck-up-their-own-ass idiots.
Certainly 32 players wouldn't fit in any QC map. 6v6 would be stretching it.
TBH, what they should do is to just revive Rocket Arena. Multiple maps inside one server, so that there's actually 32 players in one server. Makes matchmaking soooo much faster, and in RA there's no need to go back to searching for another server all day long.
Actually, in RA there's no need for even intermission screens. Right now in QC it takes a whole two minutes of waiting time from match to match, when in previous Quakes it was at most 20 seconds.
I dont understand why people even vote no? I mean, no one forces you to play it so why the fuck do you give a shit? Or do you just vote no because there is no CTF yet?
you mean just like no one forces me to play CA in ql? because nowadays if i want to play some quake i have no choice, i can either join a CA server or sometimes you find a ffa/ca hybrid.
if they add CA alot of players will just play CA because its more convinient for then, and then the ctf and tdm people can either wait even longer to find a game, or join a populated CA server.
but i dont care either way because im not playing this abomination of a game anyway
because its shit, its full of crybaby's hiders and spammers
you either have the player that baits his teammates and hides, so that his team can then watch him die like a cunt as he tries to clutch the round.. by doing useless damage so that he can later say "man look at my damage, this team is at fault"
then you have those guys that be like "ALL TOP LETS GO"
then the round starts and after the first shot is fired he jumps down and backs out to teleport on Overkill, then he complains to the other team "lol 3v1 and camp"
I could not have described this disgusting and RETARDED gametype in such a simple and objective way.
When they infect this disease in the game, it will be decreed the DEATH of the community of true Quake players and the stillborn of the future true Quakers.
