Weapons have no muzzle flash?

[Energy9]

It seems crazy to me that there's no effect and no lighting from any of the weapons when you fire them. Was that how it was 20+ years ago?

Edit: rckrz6 reminded me what the word was. Getting old is hard.

Couldn't remember the word for it for some reason, but yes, that's what I'm talking about.

Yeah, but it was always this way in quake 2, which was always weird.

the laser pistol you start with gives off light from the shot

Excessive muzzle flashes aren't even realistic when there's a muzzle brake on the gun and most RL guns have that.

Watch less Hollywood action movies.

Funny argument because we're talking about a game which set in an alien planet as you play as a soldier participating in a counterattack against the inhabitants who devastated Earth several years ago...
