Posted August 25, 2015 A friend and I have been looking to play arena shooters online, but I am not aware of any that have a decent sized community, so we always end up going back to unreal tournament 3 and quake. Is there anything that is fairly recent that still has a thriving community?

Posted August 25, 2015 is Halo considered Arena shooter? the genre, sadly, kinda died out with all the modern shooters (and when World War 2 shooter became a thing) "We're all in this together, might as well be friends" Tom, Toonami. mini eLiXiVy: my open source 65% mechanical PCB, a build log, PCB anatomy and discussing open source licenses: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1366493-elixivy-a-65-mechanical-keyboard-build-log-pcb-anatomy-and-how-i-open-sourced-this-project/ mini_cardboard: a 4% keyboard build log and how keyboards work: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1328547-mini_cardboard-a-4-keyboard-build-log-and-how-keyboards-work/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 25, 2015 I'm playing UT4, Quake Live and Toxikk now and then. Although I don't like what Toxikk has become, flegmatically slow. Check out UT4, free to play (in Alpha, works great though most of the time). https://www.unrealtournament.com/blog @Scruffy90 Frost upon these cigarettes.... lipstick on the window pane...

Posted August 25, 2015 ?? Not sure if it's what your looking for but it seems to have a decent community according to Steam Charts: http://steamcharts.com/app/214420 http://store.steampowered.com/app/214420/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 26, 2015 I'd love to find some people to play Quake Live with as I play that all the time. Was big into Quake 3 and UT2k3-2k4 when they were current and I definitely prefer that to most all of the other shooters out right now. It's sad too, I just put in a 2nd 980 and the game I find that I play the most is still Quake Live lol And I have played TOXIKK a decent amount and it's pretty fun, though recently whenever I try to play there is literally nobody playing on any server available. Kind of sad, especially with how they promoted it would be the triumphant return of the arena shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 27, 2015 I haven't played Toxikk for a few months but I didn't like it very much, Unreal Tournament Alpha (4) is far superior. Is Overwatch an arena shooter? Might be decent. They died out though, Epic butchered what community there was with UT3. Hopefully the new game stays true to it's roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 27, 2015 I play Xonotik but the community is fairly small. It is free though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 27, 2015 And here's me thinking about setting up a UT99 server I spent far too many hours, days, weeks, months, years(?!) playing that game! Fun fact, there is actually a very small mod out there which adds support for DX9 to the game which optimises performance further and makes it look a little better, there's also an enhanced open GL driver for the game as well http://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/ Have fun! PS. Are UT99 and Q3A technically retro games now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 28, 2015 They are still alive to a degree, from time to time I host a UT3 LAN party with a few friends, and we installed it on few PC's in our university. And UT99 is always ready in case someone can't run UT3. Tried the new UT when alpha launched but it was horrible, only managed to get in a 1000 kill instagib deathmatch. Yeah not happening. How is it looking now? The ability to google properly is a skill of its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
