This is always an interesting debate. Personally I feel that getting one 
frag and running is lame. If it was intended to be that type of game it 
would be "Play to one frag" not ten or twenty. And it does make a hell of a 
difference if you turn the textures way way down and turn off all the 
extras. You can for sure see better, especially in low gamma maps.

All this leads to is "What's the point?" I play for the escape. If I were 
playing just to win, I'd load up CTF-Face, turn on zoom instagib, God myself 
and listen to "Monster Kill" echo across the canyon. Even if (read:when) I 
get my ass handed to me online it's still fun to explore a new map in all 
the splendor the map's author intended and maybe score a few headshots along 
the way. For me it's all about the experience and enjoyment.

Disclaimer: I also used the Malcolm "cheat" to beat him. I absolutely could 
NOT win against him.
