Nah, ultrapro, usually people don't chatfrag. Specially if you are playing with friends. Well actually when I am playing with friends I don't really care if I get blown to pieces hehe. But usually people are respectfull and will not frag you if you are chatting. The little blue chatty thing will go up over the persons head.

gRimGrAvY014, its also good to get a keyboard because then you have regular direct access to the cmd console, and can enter in some very usefull commands. Such as being able to directly connect to a specific server while playing in another game. Plus it lets you view the ongoing log of the game and convos.

Can bring up the cmd console by pressing F12.

When I first joined Quake III Arena I chat-fragged because I was so used to playing on the PC where chat-fragging wasn't a bad thing, it was just a part of the game. Luckily, I was quickly disciplined Embarassed (Thanks, Martie) Anyway yeah keyboards really help.

things i HATE about that tho:
some people will start to "chat" when i'm just about to kill 'em and then when i run past them they exit the chat window and kill me. BASTARDS!!!!!!!!! Mad Mad Mad only happened a few times tho.

oh and there are the people who stand and calmly wait for you to finish typing so they can shoot you. one guy was trying to do this and i timed it until he looked up at the ceiling and entered what i was saying and humiliated him with my gauntlet. that was nice. Smile

this reminds me of when my bro used to play Rise Of The Triad back in the day...

and he paused the game and his friend just waited till he got back and killed him...

i was way too young to be any good... although i was always dying to play

Should be able to find mouse and kb's on amazon for a few bucks each. In the end, after shipping, should cost you anywhere form 12 to 20 dollers total.

Just had a brand new mouse and keyboard delivered from www.insertgame.co.uk 4.00GBP for both then shipping on top. Dunno if they'd ship to the US? but worth a shout

Very Happy
