tell you what to do why do i die, you make your 50 poly mesh with a 256x256 texture map, i`ll continue with the way i`m going you post a pic of your 50 poly mesh and we`ll see which looks better. 50 poly meshs may be ok in a rts game were you never zoom in to look at the models, but in a fps game you get right up to the models and then your 256 texture will be just one ugly pixelated mess.
