There was something about the rifle that the combine used that always bothered me. I finnally figured it out. Why does it look so sucky from a first person point of view? I mean the gun barely moves, and the things hanging off of it don't even look like and an actual model, they look like a picture. I don't have this problem with any other gun, they all look 3D, but wtf is wrong with it?

Pulse rifle. All other guns look ok.

it's a future-tech weapon, unlike most of the other weapons but it doesn't look weird at all

Yeah I used to think that also, it looks flat on the side and doesn't recoil but you must remember Valve designed that as a grenade launcher sort of gun but because they rushed they changed it to a machine gun type laser thing.
Your settings on full? high...
Mine are and I noticed a slight difference from medium which my friend had...

Meh.. It looks fine. :
It barely moves coz imo, laser-weapons don't give as much recoil as normal ones

I don't see anything wrong with it, and I'm running on the lowest settings possible. Love the reloading on it though.

Yes, i find the magazine on the side horrible modeled and textured. The other weapons are all fine though.

i play HL2 on medium settings and i really think it looks flat and horrible.
the rectangular bit sticking out the top looks like its made of paper!
but on Gmod, i play on full settings and it looks fine.
i expect its something to do with shaders...

I'll take a screenie. It probably is just my settings, but that is the only gun.
[edit] Does anyone know where a good file place is, that I can put some up at, and don't have to register?

There you go.
I know it looks really bad (the color) It doesn't usually look like that, it was just how I saved the pictue. but look at the curved thing and the bottom left. They look like paper!

I don't see anything that resembles paper.

Ok there is combine gun, again look at the topright semi curved thing.
This is another gun, just to compare. The Combine rifle doesn't look 3D in some places.

You are playing with low texture settings, everything will look bad like that.

If you didn't click the thumbnail do so, it changes. I mean, I know it looks bad because becaus of the texture settings, but all of the other guns don't look THAT bad as the sides of the combine rifle. AM I the only person who sees it?

all the guns are different. the pulse rifle's magazine has a wide plane area, so there is only one texture there. if you want it to look better just turn up the texture quality.. or find a high quality model somewhere

Hence the high-res texture pack I linked you to earlier in this thread.

Yes, those textures are terrible, and do make the perspective look strange. Up the settings.

Well, isnt vavle to blame for that? Releasing a unpolishd product. Really, it's just bad texturing since i've played on low setting and everything looked fairly decent.
