I just don't like the idea of powerups. I guess I prefer a NASCAR style of gaming (btw I think NASCAR is boring). Where the equipment is very much identical, and it's the operator's skills that dictate who wins. I don't like dying to someone that has quad, how quickly they erase any armor I've taken the time to collect, or gone around and picked up health packs to recover from a battle, only to round the corner with joe average player with machinegun/SS, or whatever the weapon may be, and kill me in like 2 seconds. I don't want to have to visit the same area of a map (quad) in order to stay ahead. I want to frag on the whole map.I love the DM maps, but I don't like being required (depending on opponents) to "camp" a specific area of the map to win. I'd like to win by just playing the best for that map rotation. I don't want to win by having a power that all my other competitors didn't have, or by overpowering them. It's sorta like someone on a LAN kicking the crap out of 10 HPB's, with one guy having a huge advantage over the others. And I know, I could do what I said I don't like to do above, and camp the quad to win, but I just can't see how that is enjoyable compared to a real gritty match of skills. Besides, I've always said I play to see myself improve, and quad weakens your skills to a point IMO. It rewards sloppiness because of superior fire power than your opponent.Anyway, I still would like to see it go bye bye, and from the looks of the vote in another thread, a lot of others do too (though I think keeping quad was winning by like 12/11 vote last I checked).
I feel the powerups focus the players to meet and battle for the powerups at each respawn.
The powerups are available for anyone. It is like saying the BFG is cheap and should be removed - but I think it should stay.
Overall, I think it makes the gameplay more spicy.
There is middleground.. - You can mymap with powerups disabled
- If it is you and I, we can play without quad just by agreement

This debate will never end. Just leave it alone.No one will ever agree if Ford or Chevy are better nor Republicans or Democrats.But we live in a world of choice.The Quad should always be in maps it was originally put in. Not including MODS of corse.That way you have a choice.If it's in and you don't like it, you have a choice, mymap it out. But if it's removed and you "do" like it, well that's just to damn bad for you, your choice has been removed.See what i'm gettin at?Hey wait a minute ??? What am I doing ??? This ain't what this topics about !!! Console, the're taking over my post with a Quad debate !!! Naaaawwww, JUST KIDDING fellows. Go ahead and hash it out, this post served it's purpose early on anyway. So this is as good a place as any to hash out the Quad.Just let me get in my two cents worth of debating in.So here goes:Chevy rules, Fords SUCK !!!Republicans rule, Democrats SUCK !!!NASCAR rules, all other racing (exceprt drag) SUCK !!!Queers are Fags, and Fags are Gay, and being gay....well that's just gay, and being gay SUCKS !!!!Budwiser and Coors rule, all other Beer SUCKS !!!Well I guess that was more like 5 cents worth. But anyway......PEACE OUTDeath
