    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?




  • #29, there\'s so much wrong with that goofy mouse it\'s hard to list it all. It does LOOK like a cool idea, and I was really excited about it before I got to play with it, but that thing has NO fuckin shot at getting good players to use it. I posted in the Q3 messageboard about it under the heading \"Razer mouse sucks leaky ass\" and I REALLY went into detail because I would hate to see anyone waste their money on this piece of shit. And it\'s a lot of money for a mouse to. The 1000dp1 is like $70 and the 2000 is $100. And yeah the activision party was cool! I got to meet Carmack, and I swear to god I felt like a groupie :P I\'ve met some famous people in my life, but I never got psyched to meet anyone like I did to meet him. He was a real cool guy too.





  • One big problem with this tournament is that it\'s sponsored by razer mouse, and if the tournament is in march that mouse will be out for a while and I guarentee you NONE of the players in it will be using it.
    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.
