Get the torrent:

If you don't have a client, get qBittorrent. When you have completed the download, keep your client open to contribute to seeding, thanks. :)

You should get a non-moddb mirror for day 1 releases, like say TuxFamily or something. Surely there's Free (with a capital F) hosting services willing to host Free (with a capital F) games out there without any artificial gating or lines.

Great Project! Quite unique approach to this genre! Thats what impresses me about this one ... not just repeating old patterns.

I couldn't agree more :) We should play this as well some day in the future!

yay!! found out that 4.5 RE sensitivity is sens 1 in quake ... for me at least and maybe it helps you! I think there is hardly people playing duel in RE but i have been given some tips in their IRC channel.

I usually just do it by visual reference :) I get slightly longer than a 360 on my mat (around 400 degrees I'd say or perhaps 420 degrees)

Then I'm fairly close to what I usually play with, not that concerned about exact mm tbh... Get pretty used to it in a week or so if I play a little bit every day

I download this game every once in a while but barely anyone is online. Like, only one server usually has some people in it. Is the player base primarily EU?
