The price tag is a bit too proud, for what is essentially, no improvement over Quake et.al. if you don't count brief close up arm pit detail. Those are team colors, so you know, you can tell who's on your team and who's not?

I just played some Freeze Tag in Quake Live a few days ago. I forgot how fun that mode was. Though playing it with anything other than rails is kind of sacrilege... Not too hard to spray someone with a machine gun for a freeze... but it appears the might have a dmg threshold instead of one hit like I'm used to.

There were 6 modes shown. The first three (Soul Harvest, Freeze Tag and Warpath) had video and mode descriptions, the last three (Domination, Team Deathmatch and Clan Arena) were just shown quickly at the end.

Really like the idea behind that Warpath mode. Moving control points... kind of like payload but without the stupid payload.

Completely burned out forever of this type of multiplayer.

Yeah, twitch days are long gone. Probably watch a bit to see how the youngsters fare however.

Arms Race, Artifact Attack/Defend, Bloodthirst, Clan Arena, Colossus, Conveyor, COOP, CTF, Deathmatch, Domination, Escort, Freeze Tag, Head Case, Hell Escape, Hell Gate, Hunted, Mission Command, Soul Harvest Struggle, Team Deathmatch. No FOV option in the alpha, need confirmation that it's not going to be a console port. What does that even mean anymore?? PS4 and Xbox one are PCs, and the lack of an FOV option in an alpha release means nothing.

Unless they designed the game with an optional higher FOV on the PC I fear they might lock the setting down for "fairness" and the fact that a higher FOV will probably break their take-down animations where you might see the inside of arms and whatnot with a higher FOV.

Well it is releasing on the consoles as well so chances are pretty slim the PC platform was their main focus for development.

I miss the days when an id game meant a huge innovation to gaming. Are there even going to be mods? They are all about snapmap right now, which seems pretty limited.
