Hey everybody, DSG here. I'm interested in doing a write-up (essay format) about what makes a competitive game successful in the modern ESports scene- particularly based on FPS games. Quake is pretty much the only competitive game I play (other than the occasional TF2) now, since Tribes: Ascend died. If anybody has thoughts on what makes Quake and other competitive FPS games (or even any FPS games), I'd be really interested in hearing about it. Note: I'm just doing this for fun, and also so I can have something codified that I can pull out during arguments and discussions. This is in no way for school-work, and it will take a fair amount of time to do. I'm not intending on this being spread widely, though I might post it on reddit (everybody who contributes, even a little, gets credit  ). I feel like the modern FPS competitive scene is pretty much dead, so I want to think about why it is, and how it might be revived. Thanks for your time, everybody! |

Lemme know what you need. I'm always shooting off my mouth, why not have it go to something productive.

Your thoughts on Quake as...
1) A Competitive game
2) A Casual game
3) A community
Basically, how do you feel that Quake (particularly Quake Live) satisfies the definition of a competitive game (and the other aspects listed above), and why does it succeed and/or fail. Basically, what do you like and dislike about Quake as a game and as a community?
