I hear ya polaris the muzzle flash in the vids ive seen are way over the top. Literally the whole front of the gun lights up not to mention that the flash effect looks a bit crap too.
I dunno whats the big fuss over that game whoop dee doo it has a realistic flamethrower so did kingpin and the programmers from xatrix are the ones that did it in rtcw as well.
Have any of you seen what a guy on fire looks like? That has to be the worst effect ive seen basically he runs around with lots of really small flames stuck to him and it doesn't look realistic at all.
That games getting so much hype its bound to disappoint from what ive seen the mp40 machne pistol takes almost 1 magazine to kill one enemy.
Check this short vid i made outta some wolfenstein footage its 1.5meg in size wmv format and shows the cheesy flamethrower death and the even cheesier muzzle flash.
