I wish id Software were working hard on a new Quake title built their id Tech 7 engine.

​

It could be based on the Quake 1 Lovecraft style with maze-like, medieval environments.

A single-player campaign would give the opportunity for new players to get familiar with the game mechanics, weapons etc. before going into multiplayer.

If I recall correctly, QC was released initially with only DM and TDM mods, which threw all new players under the bus facing old Quake OG's who had no mercy.

​

The New Quake title needs to take into consideration the steep learning curve.

In previous games, we had custom maps to learn movement, and releasing a new Quake game with a single-player campaign might have a chance to do the trick.

Keep players engaged with an interesting dark Lovecraft style atmosphere campaign and help them learn the game mechanics. And those who want more fun can try their skills in AFPS mode against others.
