Today I learned: Low graphics give you an insane advantage

I’ve always played at near max settings but kept getting killed through things I sure as hell couldn’t see.

So I decided to art my graphics to PS1 levels, god the game looks TERRIBLE…..but…..the advantage is insane.

  • Trees are smaller and easier to see through/around
  • Bushes are easy to see into
  • Without proper lighting, everything is just hard lit so you can see right through everything, inside buildings, through trees and forests, etc
  • No steam, smoke, falling leaf effects distracting you at all.
  • No 3d grass means you can see over hills a lot easier.

And that doesn’t even include that it runs at like 300fps so I can seemingly hit things I couldn’t before at 70-80fps somehow.

I hate how bad it looks but I’m not sure I could go back given the advantages and knowing that others are using them.

Unrelated: Did you know emp nades instantly get rid of shield bubbles!? I didn’t, it’s pretty great!
