Im a keyboard player in Quake, but Im getting my ass fragged in Quake 2 deathmatch. Is it better to learn to play Quake 2 using a mouse?
I’m a mouse player myself and I personally think that using the mouse is the best way to play competitively. However, I know several Quake keyboard players who are very, very good. My opinion is that in Quake 2, keyboard players are at a greater disadvantage than in Quake 1. In Q2 players can jump higher and crouch, which forces keyboard players to do the same to hit them. Missiles don’t auto-target as they did in Quake1, adding to the challenge. I highly recommend you learn to play with a mouse.
