    TF2 is the most balanced FPS I've ever played. Who wins in a 1v1 is totally dependant on skill.

    Oh, and reflexes is just one facet of skill.

    Well, it also depends on who gets a crit first <_<

    Yeah there's an element of chance (though supposedly the crit system lets people who are playing well keep doing so), but if the classes are playing to their strengths, even crits become negligible.

    DoD is supposedly pretty balanced, and all it depends on is who shoots quickest and who's luckiest, really. Hitscan weapons and hitboxes are fucking horrid and I deeply suspect Source only uses them as default because all the CS whores would cry like fucking babies if they didn't, and there's a good chance the hardcore HL1 fans who hate even the slightest change would do the same.

    My single biggest pet hate about RO is the fact that Tripwire even considered balancing it. The fact they actually went ahead and did it really, really pisses me off. I don't know what they were thinking when they tried to balance a game that prides itself on realism and historical fucking accuracy, but apparently enough CS players picked up RO that they saw the need to leave the rest of us out in the cold and nerf the Tiger to the point where a fucking T-34/76 can kill it in one shot, yet it can't kill a T-34/85 or IS-2 in five unless you hit the turret ring or top armour, basically. Suddenly, the IS-2 is lord god king of everything because they wanted to make armour battles fair for the Russians without outnumbering the Germans. No. Just no. The SMG recoil is just as bad, it's like firing a fucking M2 machine gun single-handedly.

    Valve has finalized the update, and they are going to release it this tomorrow. Along with it, they are releasing it like they do with the TF2 major updates, and including a free weekend with it. If you haven't bought it, check it out.

    Free weekend woo! So far I don't really like it. It's great, I'm sure, but I'm not too skilled and get killed easily >_>

    From what I've played so far DoD:S is ridiculously fun to do retarded shit on like suicide bomb people with grenades. Also, is it just me, or do all the douchefags always go US army while the awesome people always go Wehrmacht?
