will we be given the option to get rid of the disk trail or atleast be able to change the texture file?

Agreed. I much preferred the longer disk trail from T1 over T2's mini trail. I was very pleased when I saw the new vids.

nothing about the way the disk trail looks, it just gets in the way when it flares. causing the disk to appear to move slower (from a t2 perspective after puting in fancy trails) and for some reason that annoys the hell out of me.

Besides if you have the ability to remove the trail it would be harder to spot incoming discs and dodge them. Seems kind of like lose-lose situation to me.

The trail sucked... Also, i think they should speed up the disc.

Edit* Also, Can there be an option to disable the reload.

the way it fired looked more like T1's disc launcher than T2's.

I thought the way the trail looked, was awesome, but I think it was a little too THICK.

That reload animation was pretty annoying for the disc launcher. I know irrational is going for the more functional look and also now noobs can tell when to shoot their disc instead of stomping their firing button at 1/2 second intervals, but there really should be a way to disable that animation in options.

If they don't include an option Firestarter, you can just turn off item draw.

lol, amazing how graphical improves are actually SHUNNED by this community, because it "interferes" with their playing.

lol I turned off most of the pretty gfx in t2 so I would get distracted (very short attention span)

its not about seeing the discs coming in (thats for damn sure not the problem). its seeing were your shooting and getting the timing down right because all you see is some huge ass disc trail.

How would the trail block aiming since you aim and then shoot.

timing! your shooting a disc not a lazer. ands its easier to get used to the timing if you can see exactly were your disc is and not a huge blob of trail.

Sort of like how other things are going to destroy competition, even if what they'd actually do is improve it...

That trail is far too thick and far too long. Needs to be toned down quite a bit, IMO.

Then you watch the front of the trail, plus it doesn't take that long to get timing down.
