Quote from: Elysium on July 21, 2005, 11:50:40 PMIt's pretty clear that many of us have different ideas about what should be added, modified, or taken away from the original deathmatch experience. What if nothing was changed? That in itself would set it apart from other servers because you can hardly find an unmodified deathmatch server anymore. I think it would be really 'unique' if just one server could represent classic deathmatch, to give us that nostalgic and unforgiving experience of when we first started playing the game.Anyways, I just thought I'd pass this idea along for consideration.when I first started playing.. people didn't whine about using bfg, chain, powerups, spawn killing, chat fragging, ping, etc..maybe we need a stfu command.. so when people start whining, or spamming shit we can say "stfu [BTF]Gator" and then he's muted

And ping you can't really do anything about, I mean, yes, it definitely gives a significant advantage the lower your ping is.
As Art said the BFG isn't as easy to use as most believe. I used to never use it because I would rarely kill anyone with it and usually hurt myself. I used to think I could fire it into a big room and run away and it would kill people but that isn't the case! You have to be line-of-sight with your victims and they have to be line-of-sight with that huge green ball. Of course it's not difficult to do, but it forces you to act predictably in order to get the most damage. When you're predictable you're dead. Also the time it takes the damn thing to fire is a serious handicap.
You're right though... it's part of the game, deal with it...
BFG takes probably the least skill of any weapons to aim, and it does the most damage, how is that balanced?
