I'm not trolling, I just think picmip 5 is retarded. Isn't that the old CPL standard? It certainly doesn't make it any better for getting the BS out of the way than a nice clean picmip 15 (my preference), and it makes it butt ugly compared to picmip 0 (or 1, same diff, afaik).
And gun model is better for the non-quakers I might want to show the matches to, so they have an idea of what's going on.
FWIW I made the same mistake years ago when I made my one 4 minute frag video, going back and forth with gun model on and off.
I still think fov 100, picmip 15, and cg_drawgun "1" would look much better. :P
