Getting the most from your client can give considerable advantages over other players without cheating.

Tune the graphics

First of all, disable rain and fog, so you will be able to see further. This is especially handy whith laser flag. But remember, some maps (e.g. Desert War) have very slight fog, that doesn't affect gameplay, but makes the map much more nicer.

Then decide about shadows. Do you really need them? Shadows may distort the view of objects, enemy is less visible when he is in a shadow. The only use of shadow is that stealth tanks have one, so it might help to indicate them.

Now lets turn to textures. You need them, except of one case. If the game is about a dark (black) labyrinth, where u cant tell wall fromt the ceiling, turn off textures.
