its not like that when you've got the graphics at least on a medium setting.

its from the developers optimizing the map. as you get closer it will fade in.

that doesnt change the fact that an opponant can see you from behind a box

of course they could see you behind a box ffs.

[Airborne Butters]

ever since the introduction of Steam, many games have been plagued by 'rates' and 'hitboxes'.

oh and p.s. 1.3>any shit to come out on Source.

[Akuma]

The hitboxes got fucked up by earlier editions of CS, not Source. Source just carried them a long for some reason.

Valve put in the client hit detection because the 56kers were complaining about not being able to hit anything.



PS: I've never seen a box/barrel disappear.

Actually the source engine is pretty much behind the times, in 2003 or so it would have been a really upto date engine but compared to doom 3 engine it looks pretty basic. Source can't even do shadows properly without them being projected through solid objects.

A good example of this is in the terrorist spawn on office, look a the tables with the pc's on top of them then look below the table, youll see the shadow being projected through wood and onto the floor\wall.

but in doom 3 all the charatcers and entities looked like fuckin plastic, and it took a top of the line PC to run smoothly

Meh shadows, I'm talking about physics and how much you can do with the engine. See Garrys mod.

Actually the doom 3 engine was proved to be one of the most scalable when the game was released last year. http://www2.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjQ0

The "plastic" rhetoric you bring up constantly is probably to do with specular highlightin which makes some objects have a bit of a sheen to them.

This is also true. Theres not a whole lot of customizable physics in Doom3... physics seem to be dictated on a situation to situation basis according to iD's requirements for each situation
