lol, I guess he is talking about what is commonly known as mipmapping :)
maybe he just didn't notice it when playing with Voodoo 2.

that's just the way Quake 2 is handling texture detail levels. in a corridor
the border between the high resolution
texture for near distance and the low resolution ones for higher distances
can be seen very clearly.

no way around that .... except maybe using textures without precalculated
sub-mips.. which would make the performance much worse.
