I would just like to add that the ice effects look even better animated. Sparkles and stuff

Curse my low detail settings

How does that get displayed again? Decals?

And no one has noticed that the Female Models no longer distort with Melee weapons to the size of the male models.

PS, The alien models dont distort with the Idle animations now either

Please refer to #3, of my initial 55 comments (posted yesterday in dev section), concerning Saturdays' IR.

Projectors would work better if we can keep the frozen objects from moving. Decals should solve that problem, but may not look as nice. Of course, none of this will be in until 2k4, so we may just wanna wait and see what 2k4 brings in.

I've been tossing around the idea of increasing the sparkle amount a bit, since its only noticeable if you look real close.

but do the sparkless drain FPS?if it drains fps it shouldnt be overdone

Actually the sparkles use considerably less particles than most of the other fx do. From looking at the other effects Chaos uses, it seems that an average of about 70 or so particles is spawned with each effect. The sparkle effect uses maybe 10 particles max. It's interesting because the particles have such a low lifespan, it looks like there's about 40 of them going on at once.
