I used to play at max settings when playing single player FPS. Then when i got broadband, got to play multiplayer. The first thing i noticed was that i kept getting shot at first. I attributed it to being a novice for a while but i later got a screenshot from one of the other players. He had his settings at minimum so he ended up with no light/shadowmaps, no lens flares, and no terrain detail! Tried it and found that i can see through dark areas and detect people hiding near foliage before they can see me.
Since then i've been doing the same. I just raise the polygon count to be able to see as far as possible and turn off everything else.
I'm kinda wondering if other people here have also been doing the same.
Rather strange, i build the best gaming rig i can, then as online games become more popular i end up using less features.
