Re: So we can't have increased draw distance because people have crappy computers?

Doesnt matter anyway. .8 maps are pushing a lot of peooples midrange PC's so everything is being done to get the best balance between FPS and view distance.
One certain map I was getting 15 FPS the entire round, even looking at my feet/wall, and I normally run around 45 or so on all high settings[not amazing, but its just fine for the graphics im getting out of it]. The new maps are just graphically and 'codingly' more intensive. They're huge. They are packed full of objects, and they contain amny new coded objects and gamemodes, etc.
