Of course I am not going to go forward and backwards at the same time. But
try running and firing with modified keys (for KEYBOARD users) that will not
work.

To me that would be a deterrant, expecially if you are playing a small level
with 4 people. A 1/2 second would be a frag. I don't need full screen that
badly. As for the weapons keys, I have my weapon ready before I need to use
it. If you are getting pounded, it takes time to switch weapons, regardless
how fast you hit the key. If someone is shooting plasma at you as you switch
weapons, you won't last long.
Wanna try a TCPsetup game? I've never lost with my trusty keyboard.
