Outside of CoD TF2 has some of the most obnoxious gun models.

Agreed. QL had a gunmode 3 that was the most badass. Ghost gun ftw... best of both worlds.

Love doing this. I wish more console games had the toggle that let you make it 60fps and turn off some textures. it looks like Ni-Oh is doing this and some ps one games had that feature.

Some people also turn off (or on I can never remember) vertex lighting so there's absolutely no perception of depth as well. It looks really cool though IMO.

i spent 2 years unemployed playing quake for 16 hours every day which allowed me to become a low level div 1 player that makes people comment that my name looks familiar but they cant pick it whenever i join a match now and i never knew that texture existed

Well they only play duel in europe now but in NA you can play instagib or clan arena. :witch: But the kind of cool thing is that almost 100% of the people who still play quake in the US go to QuakeCon every year and get like headbands of their clan tag. lol

i played ql when it was free and the game could almost never scrape together enough players for a match, it sometimes kind of worked on weekends lol and this was like 4ish years ago?

It was in between Quake 3 and Quake Live so it just existed at an unfortunate time, plus I think it took a long time for the multiplayer to be patched enough to be taken seriously. The single player is alright and the multiplayer was about as good as you could hope a sequel to Quake 3's MP could have been so it wasn't bad, just mistimed I guess.

The reboot of dm6 looks badass. Well the only part of it I saw was the guy looking down the jump pad in pillars so I don't really know what it looks like but that part looked badass.
