How about a little pixel shading or bloom effect to apply to the tracer rounds, so they look a bit more "glowy" than just "white"?

Not so fancy and glowy like IL2/FB tracers, which you can see out for miles, but still a little glowy feeling would help the trigger happy folks a lot more satisfied when they let 'er rip.

Would this be too much of a resource hog? I hope not..

We have tracers?

lol, I have to agree with some of Saxman’s sarcasim, but the tracers are much better in the lastest version. However, I find them lacking some depth perception. A lot of times the tracers in HTC are barely visible. Having super visible tracers would make for an enjoyable gamming experience.

My computer is almost 4 years old (with a Radeon 9800 Pro) and I plan to upgrade in the near future, so it might be just my system.

Dont worry I have a brand new computer with a 7600GT and I can barely see them also.

bloom effects in all games ive seen have absolutely sucked, and ive ended up turning it off.... i dont see the big fuss about bloom and HDR lighting.
