I think it's time to reinstate Quakecraft

Anything to get dat Greek mythology in here, eh?

I don't know what you're talking about... ^.^

(extinction sounds a bit weird for a shooter game mode)

Well, it's about taking peoples' lives away :p I'm sure a generic name such as 'wipe-out', 'don't die, idiot' or 'Last player standing' would work just as fine though :)

I think you've made yourself a pretty nice suggestion.

Thanks c:

In my opinion, QuakeCraft is nothing like Paintball. It is an original, motivating, rage-inducing game that has many differences. I played it practically every day, alongside @PerryJ, and him and I had thousands of wins. That was, until they removed it. I, and many others, were quite upset. The fact of people saying that QuakeCraft should just be added into Paintball is just annoying, since they are totally different. Capture the flag and Team Deathmatch is completely different from you being solo, shooting something like a gun. I don't like the idea of having Quake just be like Paintball. If they bring back Quake, then I think I'll pass out of joy. I hope they do. Good job with the thread, by the way, even if some things seemed iffy to me.

It will be completely separate to Paintball. The only similarity between the two would be that they share two maps.

Hii there,

Thank you for making this thread about Quakecraft. It showed me that people haven't given up on Quakecraft yet. Anyways...

About the maps. I really like it how you put the old maps in this. Not sure about the Paintball Maps tho. But maybe if I play those maps maybe I like it more. Like @jollow250 said they do not have the best shapes for Quakecraft yet. And new map ideas are always welcome. Btw fyi the map Futuristic was later called Skybridge.

I personally don't like the idea of having the Extinction Mode, but maybe I must play it first before giving my exact opinion. I prefer the old fast paced Quakecraft mode with the idea of @Dotsially to add a different lenght. I cannot wait to play a long game of Quakecraft rushing for 40 points. Brilliant.

As for the achievements I like them all :) However I think some of them are too easy like the one that u shoot 2 people at the same time.

And yes It annoys me too when people say that Quakecraft should be a Paintball Mode. Quakecraft is so much different. I don't mind if Cube put all of your ideas in the new Arcade. As long as people can play this game again. That's still our wish.

I love your idea @Snap !

You really thought through everything :O
I think it would be awesome to have quakecraft back!

It's a well thought-out suggestion and me likey. Keeping many of the core elements of Quakecraft that vets of the game have come to know and love, but with the addition of some other gamemodes and maps, would breathe new life into it and possibly attract newer players or those who did not play the game before.

Yeah, I agree in that it definitely didn't work like paintball -- both games are entirely different.

I actually find Extinction mode interesting. Would shake things up a bit and make you adjust your strategy for each mode. As you said, you wouldn't be rushing so much but playing more cautiously so as to not die. And because it's only a gamemode, you will still get to play classic Quakecraft if you are not a huge fan of the other gamemodes, thus giving people more options to cater for their tastes.

I would like to see Quakecraft return because it seems to be in demand, and I can't see it being any less popular than some of the other games, such as Barn Brawl. We will need more games in arcade eventually, so why not start by adding some of the classic ones (such as Quakecraft) and just make them more epic than ever to fit into the new system?

Great suggestion and I'm all for it!
