Horaah for the old bullet holes!

[Art_Crime]

Yes. Thank you Valve for listening to the community and putting the old bullet holes back in, they looked so much cooler and realistic than the new ones.

i think theyre stupid for doing that. the decals looked so much better when they made the new ones. i hate to break it to u people, but there arent huge black holes with little silver lining around it when u shoot a bullet into a wall.

Well, the best thing would have been to have the splintering wood, but that would've been hardware intensive. These bullet holes are the next best thing. They may not be realistic, but they look so much better.

The new ones are much smaller too.

Dude, those are the stone bullet holes, they don't look too horrible, I'm talking about the wood ones. I'll post a pic later of the old ones, if someone could post a pic of the old ones, I'd appreciate it.

The new ones were much better, I wish theyd kept em.

 

[bam23]

some new ones were better than the old ones.

the metal holes were good.

Thanks grand Architect......Thats some good paint skills.....

 

[Art_Crime]

Yeah, the new medal ones are still there, and they are awesome.

They should make bullet holes for plastic though, currently they're only using the stone ones.

I dunno, I think if the "new" wall bullet holes were a bit larger they'd look better than the "old" ones. It's all a matter or personal preference, they should let you decide .

I dont mind the bullet hole decals on the sandstone, but i loved the metal decals before. Where it looked like the paint rippled back.

 

[Art_Crime]

They were cool , but I think the new metals ones are more realistic AND just as cool.

Here's a comparison for those with no idea:

The old metal decals looked HORRIBLE. They were completely unrealistic. No m16 bullet (or any bullet) would make a big ripple in a barrel. It would create a HOLE. And the old decals made the bullets look like they were 3 inches thick or something. The bullets are SMALL, not huge balls.

I liked the older wood ones though.

i agree. besides they all look the same during the action and the chaos, and i seriously wouldnt be able to tell when i am concentrating on shootin enemies rather than staring at bulletholes hehe

if i wanna stare at something i spray one of my pr0n pics :naughty:

I happen to agree, with the general opinion of this topic's posters, I feel that the old wood and tile/stone decals are superior to the new, and the new metal ones, as seen on the barrels are much better then the old huge bullet holes, which were completely unrealistic.

The new decals are just better than the old ones. I just wish they'd increase the size of the wall decals a bit so you could see them from a bit farther away.
