It's pretty good, isn't it. Especially given how we've felt neglected during QL.

so if QC is in development for 1-2 years are we safe to say another 1-2 years, before release?

It's a multiplayer and pc only game, if it has actually been in development for 1-2 years i'd expect a release or beta this year.

well i think art department has started 1-2 years ago, engine idtech6 was done by then aswell, so i wouldnt wonder if there would be closed beta (or announcement and alpha test play, like with doom a year ago) at this year quakecon.

IMO we will get open beta in 2017 2nd quarter. Game release in late 2017.

Sounds pretty good, like they heard the outcry of wanting it to be Quake and not OW-like.

ye but people, will still see a special ability in quake "OW like", no matter the the actual fact. :D ... but i welcome this change... it gives a new dynamic to a stale duel. ... but i believe most benefits of it will shine in team games.

They still seem to be pushing a team game as their main competitive mode though. I hope the duel competitive scene for it gets some love (lans) and that the new style of gameplay brings an interesting twist to it.

Kind of worried they will just palm off duel and not make any balance changes or anything else to it after release because of this new mode
