Like Battleforged, Arkinholm is a map I really like just about everything about, but simultaneously tremendously suck at. Not with Freeze Tag, I can secure some sweet wins in FT on both these maps, but FFA/TDM I just...pay the price for not knowing the map well enough, errytim.

On that note, Battleforged shouldn't be at all hard to learn if I wasn't too lazy to dedicate precious practice time to, well, learning maps, but Arkinholm, dayum...with its size and all its fancities, I can imagine it taking proper long to really learn it. Which is perhaps why not many people go for it. :/

no offense here, but I am the typical casual pc user, I dont even know what cpu or gpu I use, if I dont look it up in systemcontroll. and for me the map plays fluid and smooth. so it should be easy for all the esr pc experts to optimize their pc's?

Sure if you provide the financial background.


Also, depends on cfg as well. But it's commonly known that the map has shitty optimization.

no is player fault. id or map maker not to blame. yakumo say this many times. your fault for fps drops!! lol

It's a 15 year old game, it can run on a toaster. Anyone who i) isn't disabled and ii) doesn't live in an African village can't complain about not having $300 to get a mid-range gaming PC.

The QL engine is a different beast than the Q3 engine, just like WoW will grind to a halt on a 2005 PC, as will HL2 Episode 3 grind to a halt on a 2004 PC.

The engine isn't very different. The modern maps have a shitton more polygons than the old ones though. QL can struggle with that, especially since it doesn't support VBO (unlike ioquake3).

Also, iirc arkinholm is broken in some way with people getting drops when they walk in walls or something. I might be confusing with another map though.

$300 can be considered a lot of cash even outside of african villages.

And btw shit maps wont run with stable 125fps on cheap rigs with weak single core cpu performance.

Newer maps require some NASA gear.
