Me and a couple of other guys were really tired the other night, and wanted a quick game before goin to bed, couldn't be arsed with anything to thought consuming, so we all opted to have a bash on vanilla.

It's been like 2 years since I've gone on it, but how bloody basic are the graphics in comparison? everything was really off, textures, skins, models (the mini gun on the blackhawk looked worse then the model on doom...), lighting, pretty much everything really. I know it's a long time since BF2 came out, but how has PR managed to do so much with the engine? It's pretty unbelievable after being reminded of what vanilla was like.

You, my friend, need to play Doom again.

The colors in vanilla are a bit heavier than in PR though.

Weird, cranked up BF2 to get some comparison screenies and the graphics were alot better, must have been some weird glitch, the colour was obscene and all the textures and stuff like that were really messed up and ugly looking. The minigun, which seemed to stand out the most, was just a weird black mess with 6 barely distinct barrels. Weird, back to normal now if I ever wanna play BF2 again, which is gonna be pretty rare. PR still looks alot better though :p

By the way, the Doom chaingun looks quite pretty taking into account how old it is...

Kinda looks like it's been photoshopped a bit to be prettier or something though, probably not that good to look at when it's at it's proper size, still good for like 20 years ago or whatever.
