CIX is even worse for that IME, though at least you don't get those [RAT]
pillocks crashing the server.

With a 240 ping I can't play it with more than about 6 people before it
degenerates into pseudo-random grenade/rocket spamming and with weapstay off
it's completely unplayable except perhaps as 1 vs. 1.

The two most common complaints I see on CTF are BFG abuse and quad whoring
...FF would stop both at a stroke (or at least make quadded player use a bit
of skill rather than random rocket barrages).

Eeeek ...I'm hi-jacking an AQ thread by talking about CTF!!!! ....Sorry,
I'll shut-up <g>
