The great looks vs advantage debate

[Kiwi]

So - with fog an option - whats your preference now?

changing cl_fog_start to 2500 and cl_fog_end to about 3500 it does not make everything misty (cl_fog 1 is better than 2 imo) however you lose the extremes of view.

Now with the new aiming system its gonna be pretty damn hard to shoot anyone from across the map now (oh how I shall miss you, dod_hill) but you will be able to see someone (and maybe get lucky) if you have fog disabled.

So are you going to go for "eye candy" or "advantage"?

it seems having the option of one or the other creates a dilemma :{

Its all a bit hazy at the moment.

hmm, I was wondering this myself...

I think in the end ill have fog off, its a shame to lose the cool looks but youre at a disadvantage to everyone with it off. Maybe in the next patch they could force a certain fog setting on, so it would be the same for everyone..


btw, ive not tried the fog_start and fog_end commands..

cl_fog 0 being fog off and,
cl_fog 1/2 being fog on is the same isnt it?

[Intron]

fog 1 and fog 2 are slightly differnt setups of fog one is darker heavy one is lighter and thiner.

you can totaly customise the fog even to make it blue or something :) but imho fog is a waste of time unles you want some great screen shots :)

I think the gameplay is more important than the looks
but the looks can improve the gameplay

I havent seen any fog yet so id imagine mine is turned off.

but seeing as im running a celery 400 with an ancient voodoo3 pci id imagine im not gonna get the full benefit, not with a decent fps anyway.

as for not get a decent shot in from across the map with the new aiming system, stop moving and be still, the kar owns from distance and its now got faster reload.

kar is now my weopon of choice.

i will have the advantage thank you very much. No point having a pretty game if im getting gunned down left right and center.

Would be nice if u could force it server side though...
