What is the deal with the brightness?

[attar]

Has anybody noticed some maps are way too bright, whereas others way darker than they were previously? You might be tempted to say "Adjust your brightness" but it's not that. If you crank the brightness down, some maps looks great .... whereas others become too dark...It's especially apparent on the loading screen when it looks rather dark and unreadable and then the map itself is still rather high intensity. I've heard a bit of rumbling about it in game but what is the deal? In closing: What is the deal with the brightness levels since the patch?

just adjust your r_gamma in game!!!

that not the right solution, everything gets darker also the enemymodels .. try to set r_lightmap "0" and
r_vertexlight "0" if its still to bright than you can reduce the gamma value
