I aprreciate your level headed opinion...it's seem's there's a lot of
"it sucks" or "i rulzL" not much inbetween
i have to admit...i've played quake mostly on lan and i have a high band
width cable modem when i am on the net so the game is very tight for me

As far as the skill issue goes....i have to say (without a swollen head)
that i'm one of the best quaker's out there...my freinds have practiced
for months to try and beat me and they have never been able to.....i'm a
natural to the game...(and I play on a slower system...)  I've swapped
systems with them when they complain that i must have some cheat patch
or something ridiculous and i still win....it's not a cheat ....it's my
defensive moves that keeps me from being fragged...jsut like doomII has
special moves that you need to be very skilled at (which i'm not)
Quake has moves that take a great deal of skill but will make all the
difference in a network game....

I do think that 16 people in a match is too much unless it's a very big
level...but even then it seems like 12 people spawwn in one area ...and
the other 3-4 are on the other side of the map

the perfect game is with 4-5 skilled players on a mid size to large map

once again though....it's nice to hear a level headed opinion

btw...i'm now into GLHexen2 and it is very pretty...but buggy in network
play even with high bandwidth, but that has to do with some bad code
that Raven is now trying to patch
