Metal Gear Online to quietly die this summer
As if Source didn't already look dead sexy, now theres some additional commands that have been discovered to make it look even prettier. I found these just now while browsing the Steam forums. I haven't tried any of them out yet, but plan to do so tonight. Please let us know if it improves image quality for you, and if it seems to lower your FPS at all:
Command #1
mp_decals "4096"
This determines the maximum number of decals visible at one time, 4096 is the max number for this command, it prevents decals from just suddenly disappearing like when too much blood gets on one wall.
Command #2
cl_ragdoll_collide "1"
This one makes the ragdolls collide with each other, so they dont' clip inside of each other. Makes body pileups look a lot better.
Command #3
cl_c4dynamiclight "1"
This one gives the C4 bomb ticking light, dynamic lighting. It makes the light on the C4 look much better.
Command #4
r_lod "-5"
This one makes it so that the models always look their best from any distance, so when you get closer they don't suddenly switch to a different mesh.
Command #5
r_decal_cullsize "0"
This one makes it so that decals don't just appear when you get close, it makes it so you can see them from any distance.
NOTE: For Command #5 you need to put it in your config and also in your cfg folder you need to open the valve.rc file in notepad and change it in there and save it.
NOTE #2: I highly recommend for all five commands to put them in your config and make sure your config is read-only so they don't get changed!

However, it appears that the guy that started the thread has a great idea if they will give it a try. I don't know why they are making such huge changes to the game so close to the anticipated release date. I thought almost everyone liked NOT having weapon decay. Oh, and don't try to explain to me that it is the way to fix the economy. I don't buy it. As i said before, rather than make me do some mundane task because you think i have too much money, i would rather they just take some away from me every now and then. At least i wouldn't have to walk somewhere to have them take it from me. That is just ridiculous i think.
