This thread just reminds me of why I hate UT/Quake type games, and why I especially don't play them online with my PC.

Theres one good thing about a more level playing ground, more people want to play in it.

I think if Malstrom read this thread, we'd hear about it in a couple of weeks.

 

You mean the FPS games where personal skill shines the most? I also have yet to see a UT/Quake type game on consoles, mostly because everything has to be slowed considerably for the controllers.

I also don't see how one peron's KBD+Mouse can be giving him an advantage over another person's KBD + Mouse.

It doesn't.

I suppose certain keyboards with optimized layouts like the merc stealth or timberwolf can help with speed once you adapt to using them, but for the most part, the assumption should be everyone's relying upon personal skill rather than their input device.

Same goes for consoles since the assumption is everyone's using a pad.

There was UTIII, but it was slowed down for consoles because of the whole analog stick aiming issue.

Was playing UT2004 the other night at 125% speed with a 4870 and there's no way in hell anyone could aim fast enough at that speed with a thumb stick.
