Under Video Settings, click the Advanced button on the bottom, and drag the first slider to 100%. It should no longer look like Doom 95

Those helped a bunch Houdini.

Here are a few that I must admit gave me some hope for the game. Some of these took out the hazy quality of the maps along with making movement smoother. After playing the demo maps for about an hour now with these settings I'm definately going to get the game. It was definately the love child of Gears of War mating with Quake 4 but I was having fun with it and it should be fun to play online.

The page is referenced at the end but I put it here for reference.

Non I treid the no fog suff and other and they sure cleared up the shangrlia map. They hid some good graphics a under all that shadow and blur stuff.
