Wtf, it looks like they enabled bump mapping on the NVIDIA cards or something, notice the difference between map textures in the 9600XT vs the 5700 Ultra:

Its the best game for competitive play. Get 4 friends and have a 5 v 5 with people who really know how to play, and its a completely different game. Taking it too serious makes it more fun in my opinion. Running around on pub servers with people who don't know how to play very well makes it get old, fast.

I've gotten used to the assholes and trolls, I can just ignore them. As far as the repetative gameplay, I partially agree and partially don't. There are, of course, new maps which keep it fresh. As far as the old maps, yea its more of the same. But as far as I see, the tactics slowly evolve over time
