If you asked ever person working on CPM what their justification for this or that you'll get different answers. Thus for Pappy-R to use specific keywords from the above mentioned article as reasons to tear down CPM is just pathetic. But of course there is a rather profound difference here. Pappy-R has written his childish little rant on the largest commercial quake site on internet. These guys are some of best in the world and the only way to get to that level is alot of playing, probably alot more than the norm.
Lets get down to facts.
Weapon switching is NOT instant. Read the release info. That's what it would seem to say. The second paragraph is pretty pathetic. Arguing the point of FPS games and saying guns before armor is a new one.
