To start, I dont know what it is, but im still not digging the filters too much, Im fiddling with my brightness settings to see if i can find a setting where I DO like them, perhaps I'm just destined to hate them.
Slightly related note, whats not helping the filter's case at all is how dark these maps can end up. Streets is about as dark as it should get imo, and even then i would say it could be a bit brighter. Perhaps if we had more color on the playermodels? I never seem to have a hard time seeing Eightball.
On the subject of maps, are Highwire and Brewery meant to be in this release? Both seem quite unfinished. Brewery has 2 leaks ive found so far, and in quite obvious places as well.
NSFW: show
And Highwire is just too damn dark on the "construction side", I'm often finding myself lighting my way with the muzzle flash of my gun.
I still think im getting too many style points even with the bonuses reduced to 1.5, but ive only played against bots so far.
Which brings me nicely to my last point, are there any planned playtest games for this version coming? Or are we waiting for more people to get a hold of it first?
