Hi Res Texture Pack

[Raeletta]

Would be nice to have the option. Would be meaning unless you can give us a REALLY good reason not to, damn well do it, as pretty as the game looks in general there are some bits like the aforementioned weapons that look terrible. As a stopgap, perhaps you could at least boos the textures of the obvious ones, it should not take as much effort.

Those who cannot use it would not. The option could simply be a tickbox for the download for the space-problem potential. Though the game only takes up about 10 gig at the moment it could be pretty frigging huge after an expansion or two with high res textures.

I'm up in the air for those suggesting Tessallation though. I've not actually played many games using it, but TSW took an insane hit with it on and it only really looked good on Ground only (Where it actually did make the floor look great). This is on an 660Tix2 SLI setup.


edit:

Oh for the textures or effects argument: try playing an old game with boosted texture packs like Deus Ex or something. They're pretty equal, textures can always look better, but poor effects can feel strange on top. The effects are however, imo, pretty much perfect for now and would nto look wierd over better textures at all. especially considering most of them are lightshows blinding you :P

And for the hell of it, here is Valve screwing up their own high res texture pack (Half life 1s official higher res texture pack. I think it came with Blue Shift?), we don't want this either lol:
