I noticed a lot of people mentioned how their golden guns look almost green, and not gold.

If you turn your specular maps on, they'll turn shiny gold.

The scopes of rifles will also look better.

Players will look plastic-y in the dark for some reason, but nothing revolting.

I'd rather have fps tbh. There is a console command to fix your guys problem.

Mine looks shiny all the time apart from in the dark, without changing anything.

Do you have the Gold SVD? That seems to be the one people hate the colour of.

No mate, I have just the gold AK. But iv picked up a gold shotgun and uzi and they were shiny as well, but never had a SVD. May just be that one that look dull then.

If yours are shiny to start with, I assume you have a better computer than me.

I don't get any lag when I enable it though.

Here are two comparisons (..Only gold weapons I have ) :

The Deagle looks like shit either way, but at least it's shiny shit now.

I assume there is another setting somewhere to make them look better.

To be completely honest, it looks ugly either way. My next goal is to get a gold gun, but really, it's kinda ugly. I just want it to show I have achieved it, then I'll never use it.

My golden guns look fine, but that might be because I run on full settings...

I'll give it a shot, I have the same gold weapons as DefCon. At least the SVD looks more bronze than brown now. Still looks ugly.

gold M14, G3, M16 would have been nice too... maybe give you a gold skin for each one by getting 1000 kills with it?

Or a gold USP. So you can be absolutely sure you've been playing too much.

But I like your idea. Put it in a patch and I'd be happy.

The reason for them making all the bad weapons gold is to encourage people to use them... emagine a gold M4 :S that would be so annyoning with all the noobs/lamers running around with the G36E of COD4 Spray 'n pray ...
