Like I said, Unreal wasn't that balanced in this regard to begin with.

I don't remember any 8-bit textures in it either. 

Normally I can't stand HD textures for older games especially Quake 1 and 2. They ruin the original game's atmosphere and artistic nature.

However, this is one of the best looking HD texture packs I've seen for any game. Originally I thought "HD textures for Unreal?! No one needs that; the game still looks amazing today as it did in 98" but after seeing some screenshots I see that a lot of care went into preserving the original look and style of the game.

I've been meaning to replay this classic again (everyone should play it at least once per year) and now I'm more stoked than ever to experience it with these new higher res textures. Thanks dude.

I honestly don't know wtf is up with all the hate and attitude towards it and your hard work. Ignore it man; in one ear, out the other. If the Unreal community on those old sites approve, then that's all that matters.

Thanks again for reminding me about this; I actually had forgotten about it. 

Agreed. 

All in all the new skins are a welcomed addition to my game, they are a whole different story compared to the map retexture project: http://imgur.com/a/uE31R
