> In Quake 1-3 I felt heavy/bulky...

Quake 2...maybe. Quake 3 is anything but heavy/bulky, that game is 100% twitch and your character flies around (sometimes literally with those jump pads) like they're constantly sliding on a slick floor. Great game.

I think it's the "slick floor" feeling that causes the heavy/bulky feel; it's as if your character has a ton of momentum (due to a ton of mass, presumably, though you do move faster in Quake).
