That makes me lol.

different maps different settings

No. If a section of map is too dark then it's because of 1 of 2 reasons;
1. The map is supposed to be like that which means it looks like that for everybody else and you're trying to get an advantage over other players to compensate for skill.
2. Your monitor isn't calibrated.

I'll admit that I have a crappy monitor that I bought 5 years ago. It has washed out colors and backlight streaks. But, it's calibrated. Even crappy low-end monitors can be calibrated to show colors and brightness *decently*. I never EVER have to touch in-game brightness, gamma or contrast.

"Different maps different settings" isn't a valid excuse because level designers typically have better computers and monitors that require less calibration and show colors accurately out of the box. Not to mention that there's plenty of beta testers for AA that gave averaged feedback for the maps. If everybody complained that one was too dark or too bright, the devs would change it. I've seen this kind of feedback on the AA beta forums.

I'm coming at this subject with common sense and trust in the designers (you know, the ones that do this for a living) that knew what they were doing when they created the specific environment. Now someone comes along with their bargain-bin Walmart monitor and thinks they know what the map should look like. I like to experience digital content (games, music, movies) the way the professional created it. If that makes you lol then I suggest you keep enjoying your low quality products and leave the quality products for those of us that enjoy them.

Just a note, the OP fixed their issue so I don't mind going off-topic.

why are they built into the game?

To compensate for users that don't know about quality monitors or monitor calibration. Not to have an advantage or change the environment (which the developers spent a lot of time on) to your liking.

I change my monitor settings in the Nvidia control panel but only to a calibrated standard. I never said I wanted to remove in-game settings, I just said it's pretty much pointless if you care about quality and have a calibrated monitor. You missed my point about beta testers suggesting a brightness change in a map. The point of testing and receiving feedback like that is to use settings that the majority agree on. Why you have to tweak something that's been created by a professional and then tested by a wide range of hardware is beyond me. You must have a crappy monitor or you really need the advantage.

open mkenna, and put ur brightness on max, welcome to the world of never needing night vision goggles. welcome to being able to see further in the dark then people who prefer to play like spanky, how the game was intended.
but if I want to do that, its my .ini
same as my command
exec m16pokes.txt its in my system folder fuck u cunts who concern urself with how I play.

as said about sound camping, I can understand u doing it in competitive play, gaining as much of an advantage so u use sound/brightness thats fair game, but if your doing these tricks in pub play, your dick resembles

but then who wouldnt exploit this amirite?amirite?

Change name from major whatever to major naab? LOL

sound is low dude just trying to get it lowder, sound is one thing, skill is another, kthxbye

Well I think this topic was about sound soooo, I play with the sound on max

Yes it was, this dude just poped up talking about competitive gaming like he knows wtf that is LOL bottom line sound is low, get over it
