Re: How Long Does It Take To Get Good?

Not true. Maybe on servers you play on but in most places I play that isnt true. Maybe there are qualities the leaders have at the servers you play on may be considered "cheaters". I greatly frown upon all these cheating accusations. hehe - I've been playing this game too long. Maybe not ...

2. When I don't use a joystick, I sometimes combine mouse and keyboard for games with look-around (e.g. A and D to look, and mouse to move, or WASD to move and mouse to look). Dude, I only have two hands, I can't control an infinite number of keys. 3. It would allow you to see around corners withou...

Re: A novel approach to leagues

BZFlag leages are a different story. Although there are many leagues (and new ones are added monthly), they scarcely average two or three games a week (if they are lucky enough to get even that). In the past 30 days there have been: 518 gu matches 174 ducati matches 25 pillbox matches Even the pill...

If the map is a CTF map. Make it easy to get the flag, otherwise you frustrate the players. a...
