Glyn, > I loathe q2dm1 on the basis that you spend sooo much time on the bloody > thing playing demon (it's up'n'down with the regularity of a $5 whores CIX is even worse for that IME, though at least you don't get those [RAT] pillocks crashing the server. > trolleys!) but dm7 is good for a frantic fraggin session. 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. > Totally agree. When you take away FF you also take away half the skill > of the game. 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> Eryk
