Arena style shooter

Anything new worth checking out? I have Gotham City Impostors on my Xbox, but I would like something on my PC. Are people still playing Quake 4?

Quake Live

Quake Live.

Yay I can be of some use in this thread!

Don't know if this has already been mentioned, but you should look into Quake Live.

I might be in the minority here but Quake...3, I love it (it's a lot better than Live even if they're extremely similar) and there are lots of players, 4 was always bad/disliked and because of that it was dead since release.

If you don't want to pay, then Quake Live is good enough.

Might want to look into Nexuiz on the 29th. Its coming out for PC, Xbox and PS3. Looks pretty sweet.

Since no one has mentioned it yet, I'd have to say Quake Live. :|

:P

Its a bit sad that the only game anyone can recommend is Quake Live.

How about Unreal Tournament. We need more Arena games then again i guess Quake Live does the job.

Nexuiz is getting released soon on the 360, PS3 and PC so you could get that one.

Developers only think we want realistic military shooters nowadays. :roll:

Haha so much for Quake Live. I tried it a while ago and didn't like how they try to squezze money out of you for little things. I guess if your happy with being thrown into a game and not creating your own you are fine. I actually grabbed Quake 4 the other day so I guess I'll just stick with that.

I'm definately grabbing Nexuiz for PC and Xbox. This game has been on my radar for a while.

I also tried Tribes Ascend, but didn't like the flying part. I would play more if there was no flying.

How about Live Quake? :P

Warsow is another good arena game, weapons are a lot like quake but the movement is very different. It's also free.

Hi. Get yourself a copy of Quake 3 Arena and install the Instagib 129 mod and get ready to dance.

It's a one shot one kill railgun game that is no nonsense. If you want to play a good game where

you can bounce off of walls like some psycho nutcase then go for Unreal Tournament 2004.

I'm so pleased to see someone interested in my favorite genre! :)

Here are some options available:

-Quake Live (free with a premium model; healthy number of players in both NA and EU)

-Quake 3 (not as alive as QL from what I have heard, but a fair number of people still play... from what I've heard; it's all about the mods...)

-Quake 4 (it's okay, but no one plays in comparison to QL, which 99% find a better game anyway)

-Unreal Tournament '99 (still a very large player base)

-Unreal Tournament 2004 (still a pretty big player base, not sure how it is in comparison to '99 though)

-Xonotic (an open-source, community-driven fork of the Nexuiz project -- Google is your guide, it would take too long to explain in this list)

-Sauerbraten (mostly instagib, but it has a decent number of players and it is pretty fun all around)

-Fortress Forever (absolutely SUPERB rendition of Team Fortress Cl@ssic in the Source engine; if you have any Source games it is free to download, and it has a wonderful, bustling community of passionate, dedicated, and competitive individuals who all love the game to death. I can't recommend this game enough. I mean, no joke -- can't recommend this game enough. It has become my favorite in only a little over a month).

-Alien Arena (similar to Unreal Tournament, and open source)

-Urban Terror (more of a cross between Quake 3 and Counter-Strike; well worth checking out, it has a massive community)

That's from the top of my head. Bolded and colored are my personal favorites.

Shootmania Storm isn't too far off, I believe its an arena shooter but could be mistaken

Hi. Well the big factor in instagib is how good are the people you are playing against. It actually takes a couple of years to develop

a high skill level in this game. I played the game routinely a few years ago and I was OK at it but there were more skilled people

in the group I used to play with. It's quite possible Jiggly that you are a world class player and few can beat you but for the average or even

good player there is quite a bit of skill to be mastered.
