Dude, lets not start a flame war but yes I have played q3 and there is absolutly no feel for any of the weapons there for me man. I played q2 for whats gonna be 2 years this christmas so im far from a rookie. I have *yet* to rail someone in q3 man. The game just totally feels like mud even as an LPB. If you say the weapons arent predicted fine, but I know the few times I did hit someone with the rail, I wasnt even looking at them anymore and the trail wasnt even near them, and that was on top of around 100 ping.
Q3 rail and Q2 rail are two totally different weapons, I have completly no feel for it. I donno whats going on behind it but it seems like a totally useless weapon for me...
BTW, whenever I run q3 if fucks up my sensitivity in q2, is this happening to anybody else?
So this is not a concern.

I got one last night at the activision party, and I have to say it\'s the most ass backwards retarded contraption I\'ve ever played with.
Totally sucks for gaming, with a whole slew of flaws that I listed in a post on the Q3 message board. I really can\'t see this razer company happy with forking over that money when none of the players in the tournament THEY sponsor use their product.
I know that tastes are subjective, but this mouse is SO bad that I\'m really confident in saying that NO good players will be using it.
He\'s been unstoppable as long as unstoppable means not even playing in about a year...
wow, all this money for playing quake. pretty soon it\'ll be $50k and i\'d say within a year or two pretty close to $100k. fuck college and full time jobs, play quake, win one tourney a year and you\'ll be set for life
