Improve TF2 Textures!

[SKaREO]

Team Fortress 2 is an awesome game. If you are a gamer who loves sharp textures you might find the following console command for Team Fortress 2 useful. The command is mat_picmip -0.9 and has the effect that the textures in the game look much sharper than before. [link=http://www.ghacks.net/2007/10/02/improve-team-fortress-2-textures/]Source[/link]

Few Notes:

You need Sv_Cheats 1 on
Anything beyond a value of 4 wont make a difference
This SLAUGHTERS your framerate

I tried it too

 

[Blindsfell]

Probably because to a certain extent, it could make it too easy to see other players. i.e. a sniper in the shadows. It be locked for all fairness in a tournament or something of the sorts.

Thats pretty cool, sucks that you need sv_cheats on though cant play online with it on then

 

[Volcom]

[Crash 303]

>.> I thought this is what the very high textures options does? This was a fix that people used in the beta, but valve added the very high option for fix this.

Theres a very high option? I don't see it in the graphical settings. I think little textures like that aren't important though, when you're playing a multiplayer game like this I don't think you're going to spend the whole time staring at foot deodorant. I think the game still looks great as it is.
