Optimism vs Realism

What could [/]prog possibly &/or realistically hope to achieve, now and in the near, or even distant future?

You obviously need to play more Unreal Tournament and Tremulous. Tremulous would be better on average, it has more landmarks, but most of UT maps have landmarks and are symmetrical or relatively primitive in their geometry.
