How do we revive arena shooters?
>>
>>735063050
You want arena shooters to become popular again so that every faggoty streamer and casual starts playing them again?
>>
>>735063050
You can't.
If arena shooters were worth a damn today, then people would still play them. Well golly, NOBODY plays them? Why?! Probably because arena shooters have always been an after thought. It was "Hey we could add multiplayer" and their ideas were basically "Players will just run around modified versions of single player maps and kill each other lol". That's it. That's all they ever did with arena shooters, then more complicated multiplayer games came out, and arena shooters got left in the dust.
They're never coming back.

You see that? Nobody.

Look at that, most of those aren't even shooters, and NOBODY PLAYS THEM!
NOBODY LIKES ARENA SHOOTERS, AND THEY'RE NEVER COMING BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
So can we please not have these threads anymore?

It is entirely skill based game play. No young gamer will want to accept how utterly bad they are and want to improve themselves. You are preaching to the 20% of gamers who play a game and think about how to improve themselves. The rest are fodder who want moments they feel OP due to a busted call down ability. They literally can't take the abuse of getting farmed for hours and will drop the game because skill ceiling too high. Modern gamers are pussies.

Put out any game at all that doesn't have centralized matchmaking and instead it has a master server set-up like the old arena shooters did, simple

Did you think the answer would be more complex or more political than this
>>
Maybe kill off dumb shit like overwatch and bitch at the retard unironically playing deadlock

>>735063050
the anime would be a lot better if fern's tits were that big

>>735064304
they are

Arena shooter losers like >>735063923 are the ones who want casual drop-in drop-out party game shit with servers they can immediately quit out of when they get stomped. It's modern game matchmaking that turns everything into a sweatfest. See also all of the endless bitching about "forced 50/50 SBMM" because it's no fun to play against people as good as you. The modern players for any shooter would grind any of the geriatrics into the dust, even at their prime.

>The modern players for any shooter would
shit their pants after realizing there aren't ults or character abilities, let alone global admins and maybe not even a report system for cheaters and toxicity

Or they're coming from Team Fortress 2, a still active and popular game, so they're already familiar with how things are set up and what to expect

Only because the zoomzooms cheat 24/7 and receive no bans for it. They aren't good; console kiddies with trash reflexes and dishonest personalities. They lose in real life and in video games without state assisting them.
>>
>>735064409
Salty faggot mad because they got told get shit on Tencent/EA dick sucker, if you don't support dedicated servers you're a fucking CORPO

Because for all the talk of "muh casul party games are the only alive multiplayer vidya!" no one actually puts up any kind of support to anything that isn't a casul party game or a "braindead zoomshooter" or a moba or whatever else is the cope now.
People play Deadlock, or Dota, or League, or warzone, or peak, or whatever because people enjoy those games.
People don't play Quake Live, or any of the UT revivals, or Slipgate or that one game by 2GD or Shootmania or Out of Action or the revival of Hawken or the revival of Gigantic or the Tribes Ascend community servers or the Tribes 2 community servers or the Tribes Vengence community servers or the Return to Castle Wolfenstein community servers is because people bitch about those games not being alive or having successors but will not spend the tiniest bit of effort organizing game nights or actually playing the games.

As long as you can make them playable on console and mobile they might have a chance.
