It seems that this game is only filled with experienced and mid ranged players. Is there a clan mostly made up of newbies-average that meet and play? I'm not interested in improving, just to have fun with similar strength players.
The color code seems to work okay, but it be nice if there were a group of friends with similar skills.

Check the above sub-forum for clan recruitment info. Note that if you play with any regularity, improvemnt will happen and your tier will change accordingly.
I've been playing with regularity since Quake 3 and I'm still a noob. My max skills will always be noob but I enjoy playing the game, especially with other players with my own skills, or just tad bit better.
If you're not improving it means something other than you is holding you back. The usual cause is a bad mouse and pad.
It has nothing to do with hardware. I don't own a piece of junk :) I am a computer software engineer. Everyone has their limit as to what they can do. But again, I'm just here to solely enjoy the game and looking for friends that have similar skills.
Quake, or any FPS or any game, hell even LIFE is all mental. You being where you are is not because of limits, you're where you are at because of your mental game. People like to put limits on things when they really shouldn't. You also gotta dedicate yourself to this game to reach higher levels. I'm a rager, but now i'm choosing to stop playing that drag down mind game and start playing to get good at quake, or any FPS because games are more fun when you're dominating. Don't ever sell yourself short in video games, or in life. What's stopping you from reaching higher levels? you are. If you wanna play for fun, then play for fun. But if you're looking to become good, or even great? stop looking down on yourself, and do what you want to do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqummot83IEQuote:

Hey guys, relax. If he doesn't want to improve then he doesn't want to improve and that's all. Give him a break.
Where are you from, OP? That can help to give you suggestions.
Thanks for expressing your enthusiasm, but I do not share your same view. My enthusiasm and energy goes to chicks, drinking and parties :) Here is a list of what I disagree with your comment.Quote:

3. Not everyone is enthusiastic and a zealot towards video games as you are so there is no selling oneself short of, especially a video game.
4. Everyone has a certain amount of potential, but face the facts, everyone has limits. Otherwise, we'd all be Hugh Hefner.
Again, your enthusiasm is apparent and appreciated, but your response is way off topic with these philosophical views that is addressed towards a casual gamer.
Thanks for acknowledging that not all gamers concern themselves or place their priority in becoming "good" or "great" at video games. I enjoy the game to play it casually, but no more than that.Quote:
