i've been saying this all along: there is a trick to make yourself appear to move jerky, making yourself a difficult target:

"Also note that if an opponent is using cl_maxpackets 15 or so then he will always appear to move "jerkily", this choppy movement occurs regardless of settings"

this sucks

15 -- They lost me with the first Quake, personally. Marginal single player, okay deathmatch but nothing that held my interest really... then their people who knew how to build a good DM map seemingly left with Q2 and the game in general was just amazingly bland and generic feeling.

Q3's better, but half the levels are just bunches of hallways with pretty textures and the weapons are all pretty wimpy feeling (Largely because of the sounds, which was a problem Q2 had as well in my opinion), UT completely kills it in every meaningful way.

id's never topped the first episode of Doom for sheer playability and entertainment value in my book, maybe that'll change but that's not the pattern.

Interesting.

But again, it all comes down to what you are most comfortable with and how you play.

I don't think anything else really matters.
