Thats Doom 3, hence the shitty textures, shitty lighting, shitty sky box, and Doom 3 mega health.

Yeah I almost choked, it looked so awful. Then I saw the pentagrams and realised it had to be a custom D3 map.

DM17 was always a horrible map. I wish they actually remade maps that people still play.

Or better yet, don't remake any at all, and spend the time to build decent original maps.

Disagree. New maps should of course *always* be indevelopment, but bringing old maps across to new games is a really good thing. It encourages more switchovers from the older games, and avoids leaving behind quality hard word in design.

So to have soft per pixel shadows like Riddick, expect to not have a frame rate.
riddick works pretty ok on my pc. but ss reduces performance a lot, thats true, still playable tho
Riddick is smooth as silk on mine, too. But enable shader 2.0++ and it will destory it.
i mean 2.0++
