Powerups in duel

Originally posted by CarloThunder I know this sounds crazy but i'd like to play duels without any powerups whatsoever except for health vials.  For me this would put more emphasis on the fighting itself rather than wandering around maps trying to get the shield belt or whatever.    Like someone else said, its pretty boring to watch.  In my case it woul;d make me try to improve my defence as when i get the shield belt i tend to spam a little bit and pick up cheap kills to be honest which of course isn't honourable.

What you want isn't duel in the first place, it's deathmatch

WTF does this mean? Blabbering or bladdering (peepee)?  No skill on consoles?  The only way something could require no skill would be if it was automated - that is, no human input.  PC might be more difficult, but you also get a mouse (easier to use than a gamepad).  So, relatively speaking, are they equal?  Have you done an analysis?

Most people aren't very good at gaming to begin with, so let's do away with the  PC elitism.  I can't speak about the UT crowd.  But I don't find competition across console games to be any easier or more difficult than competitive PC gaming.  Most of the time when I read comments about how PC is best, I always have to remind myself that the person typing is very likely one of the 95%+ (made up stat.) that all bleed together into the role of score padding material.   

On PC version I find duellers better than me in pubs, on Ps3 not so much, by far not as many players are good - especially since I play with Eu players only there (well almost)

The odds of killing a person with

Redeemer = HIGH
Amp = HIGH
All stock weapons = Depending on the skill of the user


Think about it people, its been addressed many times before. AMP and redeemer in duels does not show raw skill of a player. Okay how is having shieldbelt show skill? A SB is a defensive item that allows and gives the user more freedom to control the map. This does not entirely changes the game but it can somewhat make a difference. However, when you add in the fact that a rocket with amp can do well over 200+ and a primary flak can do 360. 100 extra armor isnt that much of a difference cuz a flak ball/rocket/combo/bio can do well over 100 damage.

No, what he wants is a duel. Equal opponents battling it out. What it is currently is 1 vs 1 DM. 

LOL! This is still being discussed? There's more talk and whining in here than there are people that's actually playing da fn game. On that note, somebody challenge me and remy to a 2 vs 2 on the ladders :>

drokun there really isnt a point in discussing this with people who dont even play the mode they obviously dont understand the concept of 1:sportsmanship 2: official tournament rules they have been placed way before this game even came out 3: competition

Quake Duel rules are the same as ut duel rules.
