Hello,
Since yesterday I'm looking for a new First Person Shooter (FPS) game.
- ET: never have been good at it. tried it yesterday. Shot 40-50acc on etpro and like 1 hs/8kills or something. Was so annoyed that I was aiming for head, yet I didn't shoot any hs. Those hitboxes are something elusive for me...
- CS:GO: meh... I always get bored after playing this game for approximately 2 weeks. Best FPS players play this game. I'm not even close to their league. So no.. only if
Dtect wants to play with me.
- COD: BO III: I've been rolling that game pretty hard. So hard, I'm in the list of one the better pub players.
But the patch they implemented yesterday made sure all 'skilled' players can ONLY play against each other.
Not enough skilled players online? Well, then you can't play = WORST PATCH EVER. Took me 16 min to find a game. Imagine 6o6 without crossfire on an evening and unscheduled (and no Igla)... IT'S SO ANNOYING.
- Dirty Bomb: Maybe I'll return playing that game. But I can't be so active to play the game competitive like I actually want to => I do stupid things => I get benched => I get mad => I suck even more. playing pub in dirty bomb is way to izi and kinda boring eventually.
- Battlefront Starwars (which name has been stole by the original Battlefront starwars, which was way cooler. oldschool but my first FPS game. played it so much, my CD 'crashed' (got damaged): Nah... I mean look at this game. I like the Star Wars idea, but the gameplay really really sucks. I've watched over one hour of this game (stephbrother plays this game on the ps4). Wasted time...
So anyone else have an idea which is non of the mentioned on top and is not 'Arma' or anything else that runs on a Quake engine?

e: closed beta?
You can sign up for the Beta.
So is this a new registration or still the same?
I'm already signed up :(
Money for mercs and bye bye :p
but I still dont get how this game will get more attention or get some competetive scene since a lot of people may not be able to pay for the game...it was supposed to be F2P when I first heard about it.
Other FPS like you mentioned are garbage to my mind...
Don't want to open a topic about that but it took me 5 years to become med on ET and 300 hours to be global elite on CSGO. I don't mean global elite represents any achievement but pls don't say such things :XD.
Best FPS players are from quake and ET and I'm serious as fuck.
To conclude, if you like survival FPS pve/pvp, I have few games in my mind... The best one imo is Hurtworld, but there are also Rust and h1z1. These games are all nice to play with friends if you have some free time. Hurtworld and Rust are about building house, gathering ressources to get guns and c4 to destory other ppl houses. H1z1 is like a battle royal. It's a bit boring since you only have to kill ppl and nothing else till you are the last survivor but that's just my opinion.
edit: Also, there are good solo FPS to play like S.T.A.L.K.E.R or fear... this shit never gets old if it's your first time playing it.
if you hadn't played ET for all these years you'd be stuck in silver/gold nova @CSGO atm
Artstar is completely right on what he said, did it come as a suprise that ET is a lot harder game than CS:GO to learn aimwise / brainwise to be a mediocre player? you gain much better keyboard / mouse / eye combination from playing Quake engine games than playing games such as CS:GO where you (mostly) only move your mouse and no tracking nearly at all. Tracking a strafing guy with good acc etc is a lot harder than shooting a guy whos standing still, while pulling prolly your mouse down a bit if you didnt catch the head with the first shot.
I know Artstar didnt mention this, but I am pretty sure he thought you would catch the drift without telling you the differences between the games
So this is basically what you and artstar were thinking but CBA writting details that's why I didn't really understand his reply :-(
But not sure what's your point anyway since that's what yokoo meant, or no? :s
the thing about these "4000 hours scumbags stuck at eagle with 5000 euros skin value" is they're actually not very experienced competitively. look at all of the players in ET who played public for 13 years and never tried to improve on actual particular characteristics in their gameplay.
my point is that yokoo's already been through the trial and error period of a lowskilled gamer, in ET. he will never need to repeat that in another fps game, he'll pretty much instantly be skilled in a lot of the entry aspects (aiming, map awareness, objective focus, teamplay & communication, movement, timing, importance of class/weapon choices, the list goes on). if CS:GO were the first ever pc/online game he'd played or attempted to play competitively, it'd take him a shitload longer than his initial 300h to get to global. that's not an insult, it's a fact.
ET Requires somehow positioning and strategy tho
For example, timing armors/mega health and finding the best way to get it, knowing spawns, positioning according to the situation on each map and according to who leads the game, I think it also requires instinct but wait maybe I'm wrong, we have to ask the specialists ...
Oh and its about jumping around, armoring up and trying to find the fight at the right time. Your reflections need to be fast tho.
QL takes far, far more individual skill and mental ability than ET.
Isn't that because QL is aimed to be a duel game whereas ET is based heavily on teamplay? It's like saying 3on3 is based much more on individuals aim than 6on6, which is true, because that is what the format encourages
RIp: he is serious as fuck.
diablo alive only for one week per next patch/season so there is no point in playing that
how it's going in hots?
P.S. Where dtect7?!?
Imagine if all you big ET players decided to do the unimaginable, and did a big tourney on RtCW. There would be ALL kinds of different teams, whether it be EU or NA. Only reason RtCW is low on activity, is because no one has the time to do tourneys anymore, or have the interest too. Much like what is happening too ET, from what I gather in recent posts.
RtCW isn't dead and it could be an alternative to a different game and comp scene, but it's you, and this community who need to help enlighten the idea & get it on it's feet.
Zed brought back WarWitch which also made teams like one.soldier, highbot, kih, etc to come back and play for old time sakes. RtCW imo, is still one of the best fps to exist alongside ET.
If people really tried, rtcw could be popular again with a "2016 CF tournament on rtcw"

^ Lets get this going again. :) 2 years ago!
- Trag.
2con1cup had over 14 teams with a 6v6 format. Now, imagine if all you ET players decided to hit up some RtCW competition for old time sakes, I'd see no problem with 16+ teams signing up. We just need dedicated players, and admins(who wont play) to take the time an organize one. Only thing I see ET players bitch about is the way "shooting and getting hit" on rtcw feels nothing like ET. Well no shit, it's not the same game or comp settings.
Only posting this so people know there is more games out there that are like ET. I find Dirtybomb is nothing like ET, while others think different. I find RtCW is the closest you'll get to anything ET related.
@ Artstar - I couldn't agree more man. If we could get a dedicated admin(who doesnt want to play) and some dedicated teams/players. We'd see another "fallcup" with over 20 teams of 6v6 format. LETS DO IT.
RtCW is faar much more dead than ET, RtCW is not answer, its just stupidity lol. Surely everyone are welcome to play whatever they want but your kind of thinking is just not really a good one.
"I find ET is the closest you will get to anything RtCW related", beat that
He's asking for an alternative game that's an FPS. IN YOUR OPINION what game is anywhere near the same as ET? That's right, there isn't one. Only thing that even comes remotely close, is RtCW.
For a game made way before ET, and it's still played competitively today(15 years after the fact) I'd say thats pretty fucking good. Let's see if DIRTY BOMB or CSGO is still being played 15 years from now in a competitive scene. Every since the 2010-11 fall cup, rtcw has had plenty of tournaments that were all a good outcome.
This is only an alternative so he can play another game, I'm only merely suggesting people to play RtCW. Which brought up the idea of another RtCW cup. Which last cup, I recall MANY et players like clown, night, etc. Signing up. So don't get your panties in a bunch.
