So, it requires knowing every square inch of CF in and out before being capable?
Well, I confess. I'll never be a player. If you mean to match hours of playing against hours of playing, well, I guess I'm screwed.
But, wait..crazy me, what's that I heard of there being something heard for RPing a bit?
I have all respect for those that spend thousands of hours knowing which little pebble to scrape for a wand of armor that might give them an edge. At the same time, I like to think I play a game where I can be a relatively newbie with a shred of intelligence and do okay.
I once heard someone claim that CF was an elitist's game. Is that true? If my lil buddy tells me where the cool shit in CF is, can I beat anyone no matter how smart or intuitive they are?
Ask any newbie who tried to play CF....is this a game for anyone?
