if you guys want to play this sort of game, go play Spectre.......you
are asking Parallax to mirror practically every other game that you
like...... Descent is an experience in itself.  The bugs need to be
fixed and the game needs MINOR adjustment but otherwise it is
fine......if you want to play Capture the flag...play spectre....if you
want to play something like Doom then play Doom.....you get my point?
