Screenshots of what you're doing.

Idk if I'm the only one to notice, but the new mortar and crylink model have a siluette that resemble the old models a lot. With a quick glance, I don't always realize/notice the difference. I also play with r_showsurfaces 3 which disables textures, which further enhances this delusion. I think it's a good thing, still wishing for LODs though

As for the texturing on the new model, I kind of half agree with some of the critics here. The dark gritty parts don't look very good, but on the other hand I like the lighter gray parts. It however looks better on morphed's screenshot and significantly worse on Mario's. Is it the fov or the lightning? I don't know. I still prefer this one over the old overly glossed model though. Gloss and low resolution texturing just doesn't mix together well.
