DOD-S Beta/ HL2-EP2 engine? Differences?

[chris89]

i noticed the dod-s beta uses the hl2 ep2 engine with motion blur and higher res textures but isn't there more effects available to make it look even better? Anything i can do with console commands etc? Only thing i've done so far is set mat_picmip -10 for ULTRA High Texture Resolution. I thought there were gonna be more effects like depth of field etc?

Does this require more from your computer to play?

yeah the HDR lighting has really been increased as well as textures.

As no No Equal stated, the biggest changes are to the lighting and and textures. The map are going to look a lot better LATER in the beta. Once they get most of the bugs squashed and recompile all the maps in order to fix clipping issues like the Allies spawn in Anzio and to use the updated lighting your jaw will likely hit the floor.
