from a friend of mine named mukhtar who is an insane gamer "the physics in my head can't understand how people ski on those spiky hills
though it looks fun but maybe that's because i'm watching matin. normally when i try playing t1, it ends with me getting like 2inches off the ground with my entire energy ;w;"
from matin who was a big t1 player (mostly ren tho he played lt and base and all the mods) "When I play t1 again, I can't move the same way either . it was fun to tho."
your statement could also be reflected when you guys make sweeping statements on t2c after never having really played it (stork is the only one who has and he has some legitimate criticism about the game even proj would acknowledge). proj at least has done his research into trying to play t1, watching demos, and following discussions on these things for years.

as milk said, any game that's nearly 20 years old is going to seem janky and unpolished to todays 2-second attention span gamers
i was one of the top 100 in time played in T:A, cappers killed, flags returned etc - i put a lot more time into the game and played more roles than proj ever did, and i know for sure that if you're used to the dumbed down mechanics of later games you have trouble with T1. when i came back to play T1 i was worse at the game than i was in 1998 when i started.
notice how i never try to wax intellectual about T2 though? not once - why? because i know i didn't play it that much and don't have a leg to stand on compared to people that did
the fact that people can't even wrap their heads around how to ski hills in T1 just blows my mind though - i mean here's someone you say is an insane gamer and yet can't seem to even comprehend something that every T1 player has been doing for 17 years and could do in their sleep
is he really such an insane gamer then? would he have been able to hold his own back in the 'janky' days of 1998 or is he one of those gamers that chooses the most OP role and weapon in the game and spends all his time mastering that like talespin (who imo is a 'insane gamer' but i've played other games with him and he does the same thing - in BF4 all he did was use the ACE23 or whatever was the most OP gun, in tribes all he did was snipe etc)
guys like that are experts in one tiny area of the game and although they're great players and put up big kill numbers they really don't know the game unless they've played all roles and all weapons equally
for the record, over the last year or two i've put in over 500 hours each into BF4, csgo, titanfall, cod:aw and played 10-40 hours of most of the big games before i got sick of them - im more of a gamer at 38 than most kids are :P
but yeah i guess over the last 6 months i haven't gamed much at all just been caught up IRL
still csgo with val and those guys a fair bit tho when my girls at work
