    I just stumbled upon this:

    I think you guys will especially like the ingame multiplayer map editing feature.

    The guy behind CMPA is behind it which immediately makes it legit. They are running a Kickstarter right now:

    To round this up, some concept art:

    I keep seeing this, and I want it to succeed real bad, but I feel like it's trying to bank on "it's quake 3 but not" too hard, especially with the movement demo. It sort of scares off players less familiar with those concepts.


    On the other hand, I absolutely love the look of it, and it looks like movement is super smooth and fun. And holy hell did an arena shooter need actual matchmaking, I might have to back it.


    That map editor though, it looks real messy, and I'm not so sure about the whole multiplayer thing. Honestly, I'd love to see PETI from portal 2 made into an editor for this game, it seems like it would work well.

    What for?


    New Unreal Tournament in development!

    Also remember Toxikk by Reakktor studio!

    Reflex looks nothing like Unreal Tournament, and that Toxikk game while it's very fast paced game it's also nothing like it.


    Marcems right, this is more like a Quake game, only with some different stuff added. Nothing wrong with that, if anything there needs to be more fast paced shooters in this CoD era of ours.

    looks cool but we already have tf 2 and counter strike

    I remember Cliffy B. said he wanted to make an oldschool roots fps. One could only assume he meant Unreal Tournament.

    But Epic is already remaking that and so many people are already remaking Quake again.

    Not sure how smart it is to jump back into this pool atm.

    Hmm, looked at their kickstarter. Really, shouldn't low-level backers get a voucher to get their backed amount knocked off the final price or something? Seems stingy to have people donate like 10 bucks and get basically zilch for giving to a project without any promise of return on investment. Or?


    Or maybe I just don't understand Kickstarter.

    Arena shooters are the new MOBAs, confirmed.

    So they copied quake 95%? Real original guys. Even the timing on the fucking grenades is 100% the same.


    I don't get this remark. What is it with people (in general, not directed at you) that keep crying about originality but ultimately buy the next COD themselves instead of supporting original ideas? Having said that, if you are going to do a proper Arena shooter there's really no way not to be compared or influenced by Quake 3 or UT. Plus, this comment is especially a bit unfair since Reflex is a continuation of CPMA, you know that Quake 3 mod that was chosen by the CPL as the competition mod of choice, which has its own division in the Cyberathlete Amateur League and is used in Electronics Sports World Cup with its own competitions and leagues. In fact, it's so damn good that Id Software themselves copied the CPMA physics and ruleset for Quake Live.


    So yes, it's heavily influenced by Quake 3 but it added so much original features that it's really a different game. Swinging at it like this is a bit unfounded imo.

    Are you fuckign serious dude? Do I really need to bother with a counter argument or are you just being a silly troll? lol
