Is it still in the game?

I remember in the demo for MTW2 that there was a blood/dirt/mud effect in which units would get blood and dirt on them the more combat they faced. Is that still in the game? In all the battles I've been in not once have a seen this effect.

Yeah it's still in the game I think you just have to have the texture detail up to highest. I'd been playing the game on med detail/ med textures since I got it and only attempted to see if my machine could handle higher settings last week. It was then that i noticed all the extra details while playing. It looks fantastic, wish I'd tested it at the very beginning!

I think you need the shader 2 active, and possibly high texture details. You´ll probably not experience an increased lag in field battles, but in sieges that additional amount of detail can slow things really down massively. I didn´t believe it myself until one siege, and not even in one of the biggest cities, turned into a regular slideshow.
