Yeah, Duke Nukem 3D is a really cool game, the first one to match the
feeling of Doom and Dark Forces. But after playing the Terminator Future
Shock demo I started to hate the autoaim mechanism of all this games. If
they include clip changes to be more realistic, why don't they give us the
targeting possibilities like T:FS! It seems the only way to manage views up
and down without breaking your fingers on the keyboard, I only hope Quake
will have something similar!

Yeah, I found the aiming mechanism a bit hard to use trying to get some
of the guys flying around on jetpacks, but maybe that'll come with practice

One thing that I did find very dangerous is the way it automatically
wields the RPG (or is it RFG? damned if I can remember) if you run out
of shotgun/pistol ammo, I blew myself up several times because of this!

Other than that its an excellent game, and its been pretty much bug free!

I reprogrammed my Suncom FX joystick's directional pad to do this. You
can get the exact same targeting feel as T:FS! You can easily aim up and
blow away those flying aliens before they even know what hit them. Too
bad Suncom doesn't make a mouse that you could reprogram too.
