The last settings, from what i can tell, are just specific texture settings, and seem to be self explanitory. For those of you who are feeling gutsy, i just set all of those texture_quality settings to high, and every texture_managed to true, and, just, WOW. i highly suggest a nVidia 7x00 or ATi 1X00, and 2GB of ram for attempting that and actually trying to play the entire demo through with out chop.

Good luck Ghosts, and happy hunting.
