Mouse users can doo everything you just said with higher resolution and speed.
We use an efficient mouse/keyboard _COMBO_ to frag people. Although there are
quite a few variations I use Q for run (which is always held down), W for run-
backwards, E for strafe left, and R for strafe right. This gives me the ability
to access the weapon control keys lightning fast (although this isnt always
needed, it comes in handy sometimes...) while circling my opponent pumping him
full of lead/plasma. If you run setup it says plain as day "Keyboard/Mouse" for
control options so dont think we cant use both!
