Many games that are more "knowledge than reflexes" are impossible to instantly be good at.
Yea.. Not really.. Impossible is a matter of opinion. =P
Quake 3 isn't "hard" depending on if you're just playing alone or whatever.
Quake 3 has a high learning curve and skill cap on movement and competitive 4v4 CTF, TDM, and 1v1 Duel.
That said, it really is impossible to just "know" how to strafejump or circlejump or other various exploits of the game engine, and I would be pretty impressed with you if I could just throw someone on an EVE Online or WoW account and they'd be as fully capable as someone who had been playing for 2 years.
Talking about Q3 Arena? I play hardest difficulty, max bots and I win easy. Railgun to the head is almost cheating it's so powerful. Strafejumping is easy, circlejump I can't remember using much, never saw the point. Picked up plasma climbing pretty quickly, although that one's a no brainer. Saw a person strafejump, picked it up <1mn later. =P I'm just that type of person. Freakishly, boringly good.
Played online for a while, again, railgun to the head. Or use that powersaw thing. Both insta kills. Too boring. 1v1 duels are only fun if the other person can aim and think, years of playing shooters mean I "twitch move" to avoid snipers. On the plus side, it's great at avoiding normal fire as well. CTF wasn't too hard, I generally just covered the person capping.
I play a 'lock in WoW. Hobbies include hunting down groups of horde to kill. Generally 2-3 levels above me, 5 is generally a good number to take on. =P Bought EVE, haven't played it yet though, need better internet before I MMO again.
