As a response to everyone citing pedestrian safety regulations, I made a second attempt, leaving the top edge of the non-grille in place. I think it’s still better, just not by as much.

Perhaps my assertion was wrong all along. It looks best with a grille.

Someone more skilled at photo-editing could do a better job, but even my shitty ‘shop looks better. It’s not that it needs a grille, it just needs to lose the “look, I don’t have a grille” fascia.

An observation I’ve made in these comments is that almost everyone seems to compare this to ut/q3...It might look familiar, but anyone that’s played those two games for more than 50 hours will come to notice that there are some major differences.
