Suggestion Title: Render Distance Slider
Suggestion Description: This would replace the "Distance rendering" option. At default this will be at max render distance (the normal render distance), however if someone's PC can't handel rendering all of that, then they can set their render distance lower. (It would be the same slider used for changing TV volume)

Why should this be added?:
- This would allow players to have a better experience if their PC isn't that good.

- Would be useful whenever the server has 100+ players online since normally it's extremely laggy. (The player count is usually very high during holiday events like halloween event)

- Could be lowered before a raid so their game doesn't lag while fighting defenders / PLPD.

What negatives could this have?:
- Someone could accidently crash into a slow moving car because the game rendered it too late.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: People with below-average PCs not being able to run the game that well.
 
I don't think that's a good or even possible idea.
Firstly, I don't think that will be possible due to Source engine limitations.
Also, this might give advantage to players who will have higher render distance, and the players with lower rendering will have no idea how they died.(In open area shootouts.)
