Hecubis, I respect your opinion and appreciate your experience playing FPS games. But I'm a bit offended by the condescension. Huh? What condescension? When something is a lot of fun for you, it can be hard to understand why someone else would dislike it. Believe me, I know how that is. I remember ...

FPS is (for me) mainly a reaction based combatstyle. You have about 10-20 keys to hit in the right moment. If one knows the combat and is a wizzard of keyboard he wins.
