I started up an "I can win" level game today, and spectated one of my
teammates before joining the game.  I noticed his health dropped to 50
points, and there wasn't even anyone shooting at him.

And yet, I'm lucky if I can frag an opponent with the default amount
of bullets.  They're dodging like they know where I'm shooting.

And I suddenly realized that they're faster than me.  I was heading
for a gun or something, and a teammate beat me to it, even though he
must have come from behind me.

While in Unreal Tournament, on average (second difficulty, after
novice), I can win the game with only one death in maybe five matches.
And the bots never cap in ctf to a score of three.  (Domination is
another matter, because my bots are morons.)

On experienced (third difficulty), in an unfamiliar map, the opposing
bots can often cap before I can find my base.
