It has some base building to make units, it's squad based and a bit like a MOBA. You have heroes you can spawn with enough hero points. I only played the tutorial and one multi-player match during the open beta.
You fight over "resource capture points" across the map and eventually have to take out the enemy "power generator".

We don't know any of the reasons here, but Feral have explained technical details before. As pointed out clearly by others.
It is nothing to do with attitude, i don't even know why you keep saying that.
There is however, a lot of stupid attitudes around here at the moment.
I will take a port that functions well but needs a multiplayer patch in future over no port.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTGuys, obviously I know there're technically reasons for that. Still it's an attitude since the job of a developer is to solve problems. You got a problem that you need to solve by implementing it in code. I'm a dev myself and I know a few issues can be massive, but better have no port at all than a only partly functioning one.You make a lot of assumptions here. You also sound extremely immature about the problems of implementing such code.
I don't want to be separated from my friends regarding mjmtollaEr by devs because they decide cross platform multiplayer is not doable. Even though I prefer Linux at any time I don't want to force anyone to use a specific OS to play with me.

It will be using doom's vulkan engine part, so it must be opengl at the moment. And I'm pretty sure linux community would buy the full game as a support if Feral was doing the port. Zenimax has dropped support on linux in quake 3 and quake live, but we need at least one quake game on linux, as it use to be the rule under Carmack era. I'm pretty sure it would be easily doable as doom without denuvo can run as fast as windows.
By Jahimself, 19 May 2017 at 3:36 pm UTC
QuoteQuake Champions is not self Vulkanized , it is DX11. Also it is a F2P title , so how can you expect to Feral make money on that?
Before that , we need Doom on Linux natively.

How can you guarentee an AAA game will sell good?
Look at F1 2015. It was an AAA and released for Linux but it didn't sell well both on Windows and Linux.
So how can you guarentee that DoW3 will sell good on Mac and Linux?
That game literally had no single player and focused on multiplayer.But multi is limited to Linux vs Mac. So what will happen?
I also want to note these games have their own engines , not Unity or UE4.
This is an investment and a risk. Even big companies has chance to screw up.

I'm telling that developers ; when you start to develop a generic,not unique game like this. Ask for Windows users: Who wants that?
They will say: Fuck you , take your shitty game and put it your available places.

Yes, "Developers" can solve problems. But Feral are Porting the release (not "developing it from scratch" ). They are not the ones who wrote the original multi-player Windows-specific code. If the original Developers change their Windows code to support libraries that allow multi-player to work cross-platform, then Linux and Windows can play together.
I imagine that Feral is looking into the possibility that the original Windows multi-player code can be re-written, so that cross-platform will work. But it is something entirely dependent on the original developers.

It's already a shame that the legacy games didn't fix but there's no excuse for a brand new game to spawn it with dead multiplayer on Linux.
