I have been infromed that this is a V model, which still doesn't make much sense. Who the heck runs around with their mines out just to observe how beautiful they are?

With 20 mines all over the base each one having 2k-3k polies, it would give you fps drops (even if they're small) no matter what video card you have, the HL Engine can't render too many polygons at once..
just the v model would be fine, not like your really ever that close to mines that are planted, your not gonna be inspecting them <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

the max polies onscreen at any 1 time varies with the strength of your machine, if you have anything like an Nvidia G2+... then you're cool to use lots of these in p/w

Will this be a packrel in the end?

P.S., the mine's under 2k, not 2-3k.
