| Quote: | What to expect on launch day from gameplay:
- Enhanced movement system
- Seven weapons
- Power-ups and gadgets (no loadouts)
- Armour and health pick-ups (no regeneration)
- Classic game modes like TDM, FFA, CTF, DUEL, CA, IG, Defrag, plus three new game modes including Wingbot (Co-op 2v2)
- Lots and lots of maps |
| Quote: | What to expect on launch day from competitive features:
- Dedicated servers and LAN support
- Ladders
- Rank matchmaking (solo and team)
- Comprehensive stats and social features
- Automatic in-game tournament system with prizes
- Community-created tournaments |
| Quote: | What to expect on launch day from customization:

Another arena FPS that no one will play.
Every time they announce one of these, people go ''yay, arena shooters are back!'' but no one actually sticks with them.
Only UT4 has a chance.
"I think Call of Duty resonates because it's believable and relatable," Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey says.
Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

Well, yes, I should have said oldschool arena shooters. No progression, classes, loadouts etc.

Might get some sales just because 2GD is one of the creators he's pretty good at capturing that twitchchat audience.
Not sure I love the Egg shaped player models though but I understand the design decision, it's kinda unique and also offers an easy way to see cosmetics in a fast paced game, while also giving a big "round" target to aim for.

not sure how they will ever reach critical player mass unless its free to play

Played it last weekend. It's pretty solid. Very smooth gameplay. The fact that you don't have to pick up armor and weapons and is round based, may attract some people who are not used to arena shooters, but if Quake Champions failed as it has failed so far, I doubt this game will become popular anytime soon unless some big streamers play it. Time will tell I guess.

Which sucks because its true. I REALLY liked TOXIKK. First game in a long while I felt pulled at my early/mid 90's bare bones, guns and power ups, FPS run and gun nostalgia. And its empty of players. :\

These games fail, I think, because they are more of the same / no new mechanics and the price point is too high to get new people interested in the genre as a "just want to give it a try". F2P with cosmetic purchases is probably better, but the core gameplay needs to be solid. This looks good also but I'm afraid it'll fail to attract a crowd.

Well, ratz instagib 2.0 is cheap as hell, but has no playerbase. New UT is free, and very few people play it.

New UT is unfinished and unmaintained. Ratz looks poor and is only instagib.

it was always coming to epic, epic is the reason the game actually survived, they ran out of money year ago and epic was their last lifeline, they just looking for the right time to launch now to general public, guess now is a good time as any
