If you want to sign up to be part of the closed beta, here you go: https://quake.bethesda.net/en/signup
I haven't followed this too closely, but it will be interesting to see how they implement the free to play model. I don't care about skins and cosmetics, but it appears you have to unlock the champions via in game purchase.
If anyone hasn't been crawling the internet for videos like me here's one of thump4 playing it at PAX. They have skins of weapons from previous quake games and the abilities work on a really long charge time. Really hoping they change the Quake 1 skins to show from the center though. The crosshair moves around like crazy because of yotube's stabilization. There have been videos on other sites where it isn't weird.
We have a date! Beta starts April 6, so watch your inboxes. It's a gradual roll out, so if you're post here when you're able to play. Very exciting times. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/quake-champions-closed-beta-date,34034.html
Beta invites just went out and they say servers will only be up for this weekend. Haven't heard of anyone else getting a permanent invite so this might just be an initial stress test. It does require bethesda's launcher not steam.
If you get in on this wave you'll be in on all future waves as well they just won't have servers up full time for now.
Dstraktd....prepare to be my bitch in yet another game. I got my invite today and will download when I get home. Time to light it up.
I don't know what you're talking about. I bought Overwatch last December, and I've played slightly more than 12 hours since then. HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME MAN????? I'M ONLY HUMAN!!!!!!!
LIES, LIES I SAY!!! I distinctly recall a thread where someone outed you as an alien trying to take over the earth.
I managed to get in on this current weekend 4/21-4/23. Couldn't spend as much time as I wanted playing but it's kinda got that old Quake feeling, got some opinions on certain things but need to play it more before judgement. April 27th it opens up again!
