I always thought that effect was a waste of time, anyone thats seen it in farcry probably knows what i mean, everythings basically overbrightened and it looks more or less like the sun is exploding in some of the screens. You also practically half your framerate and i think lose the ability to use antialiasing. The hl2 effect does look more subtle than the completly over the top look that farcry has though.
