All fun and games, no hard feelings Nail. :lol:
Now this shot may be a tad overkill, but it really captures the moment of intense game play

I want all the eye candy in MP⌠i want the foliage to hide in, the realistic sky, etc. I even think it should be mandatory. If your box can run it dont play it. Stick to less realistic looking games.
I canât stand guys who destroy the perfect art of a game just to see you first/better in MP and forcing the eye candy lovers to lower the detail.
My message to those leet players is: Go find a map designer who build you a square white map with black models and be leet there. Let us have the candy.

Itâs all about money and your target group. The more people that can play it, the more possible sells. If they say minimum spec is a gforce 6800 then sure itâs easy to have a very restricted setting for the gfx. The lower you go the lower will be the default standard for everyone that plays. But as you GlobalWar, Iâm tired of having to use a shitty setting just to be able to compete with everyone else.

This is a bit late butâŚ
Weâre actually going to pay a guy to stand by you as you play and fleck you with ketchup when you get hit.
Bwahahahaha. Thatâs comedy.

The problem is to decide which things users can tweak. Less detail will allmost allways mean you get a clearer view.
The fog tweaks come to mindâŚ

You are forgetting the people with low spec machines that just canât run it at that level. Activision and ID are not going to limit themselves to a market of people with high spec systems so there will be options for dumbing down so Youâll just have to deal with it, you can have all your pretty foliage and hide in a bush if you want, just donât expect to be able to hide from the guy that canât see the bush.

Just like in doom3/quake4 you probably have the choice to disable/enable specular/bump maps and shadows. And Just like in ET there will probably be some general settings like low/high quality sky,textures,effects etcâŚ
I asume that the foliage used in et:qw is there not only for eye candy but also for hiding, so I donât think players can turn the foliage âoffâ like it is now in ET ( like in âradarâ)âŚ
Anyway, In the end it all comes down to the amount of verts/tris your gfx card can handle. If you currently can play ET only using âlow settingsâ expect to upgrade your card when the et:qw demo comes out

I want the bushes, I want the textures to look realistic, I want great graphics, those things are constant, blood and gore are incedental things, they occur because of what you do, they donât represent a constant, theyâre just addons, Iâd rather have the devs putting their valuable time in the game, not worrying if the intestines are in the right perspective, my comp runs very well on highest settings, I turn off blood, brass, atmospheric effects cause they interfere with my gameplay, same with wolfparticles (Iâm old, the explosions startle me)

I donât care if it is a stickman game, I want to see the blood, gore and damage effects. I will toggle all the graphics on if stickman has the options.
I think this is going to be my new signature

I would like to dedicate this song to Splash Damage.
Itâs criminal!
There ought to be a law!
Criminal!
There ought to be a whole lot more!
You get nothinâ for nothinâ,
Tell me, who can you trust?
We got whatcha want,
And you got the lust!
[Chorus]
If ya want blood - you got it!
If ya want blood - you got it!
Blood on the streets!
Blood on the rock!
Blood in the gutter!
Every last drop!
You want blood?
You got it!
Yes ya have!
Itâs animal!
Livinâ in a human zoo!
Animal!
The shit that they toss to you!
Feelinâ like a Christian,
Locked in a cage!
Thrown to the lions,
On a secondâs rage!
[Chorus]
If ya want blood - you got it!
If ya want blood - you got it!
Blood on the streets!
Blood on the rocks!
Blood in the gutter!
Every last drop!
You want blood?
You got it!
Ow!
Oh, bloody tune!
[Instrumental Intermission]
Ooh! Yeaaah-yeah!
Wa-wa-waaaah!
Blood on the rocksâŚ
Blood on the streetsâŚ

If ya want bloodâŚ
You got it!
Wantcha to bleed for me!
Psssssh yeahâŚ
[Chorus]
If ya want blood - you got it!
If ya want blood - you got it!
If ya want blood - you got it!
If ya want blood - you got it!
(If ya want blood - you got it!)
(If ya want) Blood - you got it!
If ya want blood - you got it!
If ya want blood - you got it!
If ya want blood - (You got it!)
Blood! Blood! Blood!
(If ya want blood - ya got it!)

[Begin to Fade]
If ya want blood - ya got it!
If ya want blood - ya got it!
If ya want blood - ya got it!
If ya want blood - ya got it!
If ya want blood - ya got it!
If ya want bloodâŚ

Well it doesnât really matter what we want, someone will do a âproâ mod and implement vertex light and picmip 200 where everything looks like something drawn by a 3 year old anyway. The people with shitty pcâs will be cheering while the rest of us will more or less be forced to use it to stay competitive.
