Sad post for FF fans/ Graphics frustration

[Green Mushy]

So, at 1:30 am on a Monday night, the mIRC Channel #fourtress, for tfc, fills 2 pickups of 8 people each in probably 2 minutes or less. We try to start a pickup in #ff.pickup, we get 3 people and sit there and talk about why nobody plays it. A stupid sourcemod called Pirates Vikings Knights II has like 5 full servers running all the time, and all u do is run around and melee people!

One conclusion is that the game of tfc is MUCH more clear and smooth looking then FF. You may blame this on the pc, but i think the same theory applies. The game of tfc is so clear, you can distinguish a player type from across the map easily. When chaos is going on, u can see whats happening. 2.0 was a huge improvement in that front, but it is still miles behind the clarity of tfc. Holy shit so far away. And to tell you the truth, i miss that clarity so badly.

Is there any way to change the graphics look of FF so that it has more CLEAR visuals with models, lighting, physics? I think that would entice tfcers to come over, because the gameplay of FF is so much better. Look at TF2, the game looks like a comic book and people love it. Same goes for tfc, its from the 90s for god's sake. We need a more simple and clear game, and the awesome gameplay will take care of the rest. So i propose (if this is even possible) to have an easily accessible option to turn the graphics down to an obscenely low level, where the clarity is greatly enhanced.

Let me note that im already running on dx80 and everything turned down graphics wise. Id rather play a clear cartoon with this gameplay then good graphics but squinting my eyes to figure whats happening. Im sure others agree. What do we do!?
