New-Guy Questions: weapons , maps, settings

[sir_frags]

1) why is the game/hud always so dark when I first run the game? I got a light script in my autoexec.cfg that helps when I actually start playing, but thats only when Im in-game. All other times I have to turn the brightness up on the monitor just to see what Im doing, and even then it's still hard to see anything.

2) What weapon do people use the most to kill and get the most kills?

3) In free-for-all games, what are the top 3 most maps being played right now? In other words, what maps will u always see people in them instead of bots? I want to start practicing on those.

4) If you had only 2 keys on the keyboard, what weapons would you bind to them? And what is your right mouse click currently bound to? My other games I have certain weapons bound to the A and D key and the right mouse button. I assume this game will be no different, and even if it will be a long time before I learn the really skilled techniques, I think I should go ahead and get my binds configured now so I can get used to them quicker.

Any other advice you think is needed, feel free to pass it on and if cant answer all the questions, there is nothing wrong with just answering one

2) It's different for everyone, everyone has their own favorite weapon and is likely to have better accuracy with that fav. weapon.
Don't stick to one weapon too much though.
Choose a weapon based on the situation.

4) Railgun and Shotgun
But all the other weapons are bound to (easy acces) keys too.
-Rightmouse click is fire
-Left mouse is forward/run

In your other post you say you have cg_fov 100.
As adviced there, I would turn this up a bit, to 110/115

ever try turning you fov to 360? Its like fear and loathing in las vagas.
