but I'm assuming just about everyone here started playing FPS on a two or three button mouse. Actually I started as a keyboard gamer on a mac, so I didn't even use the one mouse button there was. When I started using mouse I kept fire on space as it was in the Marathon series. Only later years did ...

So basically you need to be in the air while turning, but maybe it's possible while sliding on the ground as long as you've let go of +forward?

Decals are temporary items like bullet marks on the walls. Usually you can turn them off, set how long they'll stay or how many you'll keep at any time. The more you have the more your client will have to deal with. Well, that's how I understand them anyway.

The game IS very CPU limited simply. Running the ggl demo I went from 53 at 1280x1024, High, 2xAA, everything on to 72 with that config that makes things look like picmip 5, 640x480, everything low...

cpu dependent

At 1280x1024, High, 2xAA and Advanced setting at highest I get 53.24
while at 640x480, Low, No AA and Advanced settings at lowest I get 66.64,
so yes, it's relatively CPU dependent.
