The real wankerness comes in when people cheat in multi-player. I do have the patches. But I don't use any of them. Nelev is fun to mess around with, I'll admit. And if your clan, or you feels Nelev is alright, go for it.
Some people think the sole reason for playing the game is to win.
That's not true. I've killed myself on accident 14 times in one pred tag alone, solely because I forgot where I put all my prox. But it's alright to lose, sometimes. Think of how big of a lamer you look when you have to use the jet pack to get out of the line of fire. Strafing works there.
