<MarkReiEpic]> Xkash--> yes but only in single player but it is an option you can set.

limited/restricted tweaking(which would be what ut2k3 seems to have)
-'more fair' due to less options(which alter the gameplay) or you could say a higher standard
-played as the game developer intended
-more intense atmospheric immersion in the game due to higher graphical/sound settings
full tweaking
-anyone can tweak so it's essentially just as fair as restricted
-improves fps for both slow/fast computers which makes for more fluid gameplay
-more comfortable(hey it looks like qw!)/less annoying/less distracting(seeing my reflection in water is irrelevant to letting me preform better competitively as is high texture quality, etc)
-better visual/sound properties(or whatever, good example is tweaking in q3 for less sound lag so you can react faster) which results in qualitatively higher competitive play skills
basically it's irreconcilable differences. i understand the view i disagree with intellectually, but not anymore than that. none of the things i listed for limited tweaking has any positive connotations for me. yes, i also know i'm an extreme minority but i'm pretty passionate about my feelings. /me shurgs
