The game is no where near a proper competitive game.

This. Far too many variables for it to be brought down to pure skill which is what proper competitive FPS games require.

There is nothing competitive about client-side hit-detection.

But good luck.

Haha me too! And I still do, as I play it pretty much every day.

Sucks, but how else will I play an FPS with my friend in Montreal, and the one in Sydney at the same time?
