    You probably haven’t touched FPS games in a while or you simply weren’t that great to begin with, I know plenty of former Quake 3 pros and none of their kids come close to them in Quake.

    You were prolly really good at q3a 20+ years ago when you could play 8 hours a day. I was too, lol.

    If it counts I know how you feel.

    Back in the day? I felt like a god at Unreal Tournament, I was so damn good that the LAN party I went too started doing things like slowing the game down in the host settings or doing big head mode all due to the fact that the guys at the LAN party would say, “Dude you are too damn good.”

    Now? I can’t keep up with the kids playing Destiny 2 and god knows if I go to the Dark Zone in Division 2 I get mowed down in a heartbeat.

    To be fair, Quake Champions plays very differently to how Q3 played back in the day.

    I had a few rounds when Quake Champions first released. I was a very mediocre Q3 player, but routinely topped leader boards on QC.

    When me and my older friends were playing Quake 2. I used keyboard only, page up and page down to Look up and down. My friends used keyboard and mouse. I won.

    Reminds me of The Office episode where Kevin is talking about winning in the World Series of Poker and then loses to Phyllis on Casino Night.

    I spent a full night grinding through the campaign of jumpforce, in one sitting, so I got pretty good at it, I take it over a mates house the next day and she kicks the ever loving shit out of me without even knowing half the mechanics

    Sometimes it just do be like that 🤣🤣
