The player physics is (vaguely) based on Quake/HL, so out of curiosity I've downloaded a random surf map and dropped it into the game and... It Just Works.
Obviously could use some tweaks, but I'm honestly surprised it worked this well out of the box.

Imagine you're an art critic and you say "This painting looks dated, the quality suffers because the artist used their old trusty paintbrush. I think they should buy a new paintbrush, which will immediately make the painting more flashy and colorful" with a serious face.

To get a wide lense effect I've made an absolutely cur(s/v)ed geometry and commited multiple perspective crimes.
On top of this, geometry warps with camera angle to slightly amplify the effect.

Haven't started with real AI yet but thrown together a ghost/replay system.

FT-47 "Lance" is a cancelled 6th gen fighter prototype deemed too dangerous for pilots due to overwhelming G-forces
Our crew bought it at a black market and added a set of limiters... but limits are meant to be broken!

There's a whole new GaMeR trend of posting meshes with "bad" topology from unoptimized games. People wo never even seen a 3D model outside a video game before now think "many polygons = bad".

Someone on 4chan mangled starfield's sandwich topology as a joke, people saw it and assumed "starfield runs bad because of fake sandwich topo". C:S2 human models have fully modeled teeth, which may or may not impact performance.

I must say thanks to whoever suggested making proxy charge weapon intro 3-projectile shot. Now you can either use it as close-range high-spread "shotgun" or cover huge area using it's ballistic trajectory.

Still thinking about the fact that marketers managed to bamboozle gamers into believeing that 4K is four times higher in resolution than 1080p, while in realisty they just decided to switch measurment from height to width to make the number sound bigger.

Fun fact: your jet in
@JetLancerGame
is canonically 16 meters long. If you convert in-game pixels/frame movement to actual speed, you'll get top speed of around 1240 km/h. Which means you can actually reach Mach 1 and break sound barrier.
That's some high-speed gameplay for you.

Some playtesters found guided rockets to be a bit OP, but guess what? The smarter your gear get, the more vulnerable it becomes for hacking attacks. And boy you'll get pushished for relying on them too much in lategame.

The thing is, this is not a game model, and for everything outside realtime rendering, this topology is 100% fine.
Even for gamedev, you start with highpoly and when it's finished you retopo it to low/mid-poly.
