This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Apex: Legends looks at every point anon makes with a shy smile..

Not really. For example they added more comeback mechanics: The whole team being able to craft banners if they have a support legend and you now respawn with both your guns and your armor.

Can't really compare that to Quake.

Wait, what respawn?

I reread the wiki about it. Do you mean arena mode? Haven't played it and probably haven't been around when it launched. From the description it sounds a bit weird.

I wrote it mostly from my memory about it's battle royale. It gave me a little of the same chills I had with OG shooters, and has nearly everything anon disliked about Quake.

If you get knocked and then subsequently die, your teammates can pick your banner up from your deathbox and then respawn you at a beacon. A drop ship comes and you jump out of it with minimal gear.

If you have a support legend in your team, these banners can also be crafted in a "replicator", since picking the banner up is not always feasible
