Quake had a relatively steep learning curve, but that's cuz it had so many different buttons that did various things, and the navigational system wasn't very good--and still needs lots of work, for that matter. But as far as 3d positioning goes, I don't think it's that difficult, especially with the use of crosshair beeps and such like, I.e. Lone Wolf. Ken Downey President DreamTechInteractive!
