The reason is that these CPMA graphics look gorgeous (I mean the general view and the lightning, you shouldn't take picmip in mind), but when I set the same in QL, it just doesn't look right. What I really dislike is the general QL look compared to CPMA plus various messages which appear in the middle of the screen and they are really distracting (placement/font/size). I really would be glad if someone would help me out atleast getting a hud like that.

Some screenshots of CPMA:

P.S. I have copied the cpma config all pissble cvars that might effect visuals, if you see a sensitivity or any other cvar, don't be mad :) And I play with 1920x1080 resolution
