My only real criticism is that controller support is kinda jank, but its incredible that a fan-made mod integrated it into a Quake 3-based engine. Bought the real game on Steam just to play this mod. Keep in mind, this is all Steam Deck impressions:
- Navigating with the Dpad on the main menu gets super sticky on the bottom Discord/Donate buttons
- You can't accept/exit/navigate the menu with the Dpad. I realized you have to navigate menus using the LStick like its Destiny 2
- No weapon wheel or slowdown while switching weapons. There are alot of guns in Real RTCW and you can be scrolling alot, unless you make a steamdeck-specific config
- I can feel the jank with the auto-aim. This isn't console-grade rotational aim assist. Often, you'll be 'snapping' onto heads, which is obviously better than without. I just wish it felt more natural (ex. your aim slows down near enemies like Halo)
- Lots of framerate drops on Steamdeck (below 60fps). Not sure what default settings are causing them
The sheer amount of content this mod offers is really cool. There are a ton more weapons and the models/animations feel like a step up from the original game without feeling like they don't belong. I was messing around in Survival mode just having fun for like 2 hours, exploring and fighting thru waves just to get a feel for the combat.
Really happy with what I played. Thank you for your hard work.

Well, its only first draft on controller support. I might improve it with time.
D-pad support for the menu is basically non existent thus why i made cursor active.
Weapon wheel is something too complicated for me right now. But I have it in mind.
I'm playing it on Steam Deck too and its fine for me so far. Weird.
Current aim-assist is the best draft i could do so far. Was even worse before lol.
And thank you for taking your time and writing this post of appreciation! Glad you like it!

Don't forget about adding the Y axis inversion. Thank you.
