[Hell-met]

it isn't glitches, its just that phong destroys the FPS old video cards, so a lot of people download no-phong map packs in order to play the game on their current machine.

You are 100% clueless, and your arogance won't save you this time.

1. there's no such thing as a "map pack" other than for bsps themselves

2. phong is a rim shader variant applied on models, not maps

3. running the game under dx8 removes this visual effect

and finally, it gives no advantage whatsoever.
