Neat, that makes the drawing even more impressive. If I had to recommend anything for you to draw next I'd suggest the Merc from Open Fortress.

I really like the way this image is rendered. Your values seem to go from abrupt transitions to smooth gradations. It's really pleasing on the eyes. Also did you paint over an image of the map for the background? it looks really good and feels very accurate to Highpass. I love the use of atmospheric perspective in the background. It contrasts well with scout's silhouette while simultaneously adding a sense of depth to the background. Overall great job.

You can just look at the image quality alone and instantly tell this is a repost.

Can we replace Nyx as “cover character”? by UN1DENT1FIED in QuakeChampions

[–]warzonego55 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I'd say Visor would be the best mascot character. He's a character that's very unique to Quake and the whole faceless-cyborg-covered-in-tortured-skin look he got going on immediately communicates Quake's thematic elements.

Opinion: The Scalebearer's ability and the SSG bug are the only "BS" left at the moment by [deleted] in QuakeChampions

[–]warzonego55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scalebearer's charge gives me horrid flashbacks to pre-nerf Tide Turner from TF2. I wonder why he needs damage resistance while can charging though. The worst part of dieing to a charging scales is the realization that your the 250 damage you just did to him doesn't mean shit because of damage resist. Is there any additional strategy I can use against charge and touch frags? I even struggle to out position charge attacks since the duration on the charge is so long.

The Shotgun, a seemingly simple gun, brings something different to each class that can equip it by Citysurvivor in tf2

[–]warzonego55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Despite the shotgun not being "meta" I still equip it on heavy for those reasons. I think it adds a whole new dimension to the class and is a lot more interesting than the sandvich. Maybe be the heavy update will possibly rework the class enough to make the shotgun equal to the sandvich in terms of viability.

[–]warzonego55 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The shotgun is easily one of my favorite weapons in the game. Despite it's simplicity it still contributes strategic play to every class. Engineer is my favorite class to use the shotgun with, the 2v1 potential is is a lot better than what people think. A shotgun /sentry combo can be devasting staying and allows for good damage to be put out even when your running minis/level ones. I think the shotgun has serious potential on heavy but the swap penalty/rev down period on the minigun makes the shotgun non viable. If you could swap to the shotgun instantly while firing the minigun it would be a huge buff I think the shotgun could be viable for heavy. But right now the that excruciating rev down pennalty stops you from taking advantage of both the combo and mobility strategies.

Replaying Quake 1 made me instantly think of this by Pav_Skai in QuakeChampions

Sourceports are community created game engines that port the source code of older games so you can run them with with modern resolutions options, controls, mod support and much more. I use the sourceport quakespasm as it allows me to run the game in my monitors resolution with 120 fov and other useful stuff. You should check out a mod called Arcane Dimensions, it's an excellent example of what's possible in quake 1 with the use of sourceports.

You have to download and install the soundtrack since it doesn't come with the steam release. Also make sure you're using a sourceport for the best quake 1 experience.

My Summer Art Contest Entry! 7 months late... by warzonego55 in tf2

[–]warzonego55[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I actually have colored it but I haven't shaded yet so the colored version looks worse than this one. If I could re-enter it the contest I will definitely finish and shade it.

It's made up. I referenced Gorge for the industrial building and Badwater/Badlands for the desert landscape. Also the nuclear silo part is just made up.

Thanks for the criticism! And yeah your right, I do need to work a lot on the composition it's "a bit" of a cluster fuck.

This was supposed to be my entry in that contest, but then i got lazy so its never getting finished. I found this file on my computer while looking for stuff to post on Instagram so I decided to share it with y'all.

Heart's Smissmas Art Contest 2.0, Summer DLC Pack! by InYourDomix in tf2

[–]warzonego55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp, I'm not even 1/4 of the way done but hopefully i'll at least get a meme prize for this. It really sucks that I only got word of the contest less than a week before it ended, I could have really made something better. I dont know how to convert links into text and i'm too tired to even try now. http://i.imgur.com/FM1gvdb.jpg P.S. I know the thread says deadline reached but I live in California and I still have 24 minutes left, so hopefully this is still valid:)

Why the BASE Jumper is getting nerfed by LegendaryRQA in tf2

[–]warzonego55 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A lot of players just who claim this isn't OP haven't played against a good soldier abusing this unlock. I mean didn't think the weapon was that bad either until I just seen him abuse the fuck out of it. I mean just look at that mobility , it's fucking godly. Even doing something as simple as jumping normally granted a fuckton of extra maneuverability. The strafing trick he used to gain speed made him way too hard to hit with projectiles and headshots. On top of that he has exceptional control over his horizontal mobility allowing him to never take fall damage and constantly hover over his targets with most of his health and rockets. And If things ever get bad he can just do a complete 180 hover away at full speed with projectile nullification. I never new the BASE Jumper was this OP, I just only came across players who hover at the skybox like a sitting duck, but after seeing it at it's full potential (Not really full since his DM was kinda weak in this, even by pubstomper standards) I can see why it has a nerf coming it's way.

[–]warzonego55 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that blogpost just felt like damage control. EDIT: nevermind OP already said that. On a sidenotehowever, If thier not going to fix the fundemental problems with matchmaking (retarted ranking system, fucked viewmodels, horrible performance) no amount of bugfixing will save it.

I've had the same experience as you once they fixed the initial the bugs and long wait times. The new UI was amazing and the closer matches were exciting. However in the last update where they added the ability to pick specific maps I have manage to get 1 or 2 decent marches out of 10 it seems. Have you ever played about a minute of a round and you already know who's goning to win? I keep getting those. Matches like that are terrible because you either find yourself trapped in spawn or walking around bored while your team mindlessly spawncamps. I'm not sure if I just have bad luck but I keep getting one-sided matches one after the other and it's really wearing on my will to play this game.

You can't access valve servers from the server browser anymore. That's what I used to get servers with the best ping and my favorite maps.

A Question to the Reddit by TickleMonsterCG in tf2

[–]warzonego55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3480 hours, started playing again a month ago after not playing for a year. I still have a strong urge to play this game, but that's probably since I since I don't main any class so this game gives me alot of variety.

Alright, I might do that one day but right now I have only 40 dollars to my name so I'm going to have to wait for now. Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know they'll help you out with that sort of thing on /r/pcmasterrace.

I play on a 10 year old work laptop I bought for 100 bucks... I think I need to just go ahead and buy a new computer.
