somebody got a time warp machine so I can go back to 1999?

This kid knows what he's talking about. Must have learned from me.

I'm already all maxed up and this is how I play cause this is how pro's play..do the math, k?

like I said..sesame street stuff

Lol, that one made me laugh.

I'm not a pro or anything I just play this game for fun, but what does making the game look all washed out do to help you in multiplayer?

Lmao, you want ugly graphics and Q4 allows you to actually make it uglier than Q3 and Q2, and you're still not satisfied?

Hey guys, what doom skin is that? It looks totally sweet.

Whats that? It's the blue team version of the [WYD]DooMer skin you say? no wonder it's so sweet.

I think you've spent too much time posting on these forums and not enough time in the real world. 40,000 posts? Holy crap man.

First off, you don't ask the questions here, I do.

Second, I've had updated drivers while your mom was still wiping your nose, kid.

In conclusion, pissing me off is not an option.

It helps you to see your opponent better..less eye candy is always a good thing..too bad devs can't figure this out on their own..

What's the point of having a competitive game when you can't see your opponent?

thing is..when I lower the detail in q3, the skins and the models don't look as bad as they do in q4..and I can see the hud..

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It's because there are more textures to reduce the detail on, and they don't expect people to turn them off like that, I'm sure you could find some low-quality skins to replace the origionals or somthing...

I honestly don't know, but I think it's because it doesn't calculate anything..and just lets it paint by numbers.
