When discussing model optimization, LODs are often brought up. The word gets thrown around without much hard data behind the statements. This article should help prove how well LOD models actually remove polygons. The charts show which models have received optimization updates in the form of LODs, and which models are still unoptimized.
Contents
c_models
- Chart scale
- 0-7000
- Key
- Unoptimized
- Optimized
Notes
- Medi Gun and c_models
- The Medi Gun equipped on its own uses w_models and v_models. The Kritzkrieg attachment, however, is a c_model variation.
- Unused c_model content
- Fire Axe, Revolver, Scattergun, Syringe Gun, Wrench, Stickybomb Launcher, Bat and Bonesaw.

Notes
- Unused c_model content
- Grenade launcher, Flamethrower, Destroy tool and Scottish Resistance. These items are currently being phased out.
Character models
