We do not have enough clouds or high-altitude overcast ingame to reproduce normal weather and therefore have colours more natural for rare bright sunny days in mid summer when atmosphere is absolutely transparent for sunlight.
When we have hardware to run the weather system or it is optimised enough the lighting would not be as bright and landscape colours would change naturally.
On sunny days colours become very acid. Just Google it

Open in separate tabs and compare to this or any other CloD screenshot https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-r...5-12_00061.jpg
Thus, I would not dramatize current state of landscape colours based on personal perceptions. Perception depends on what you compare the colours with. Older games just do not have as advanced lighting system and may look darker even without high-alt clouds\overcast which is wrong. |
Personally, if i see, everyday, what some people here claims how Britain, grass on a sunny day etc look like (im pretty sure grass on a sunny day anywhere in the northern hemisphere look pretty much the same) , i would have my eyes checked asp.
The grass for ex, some people say it should look like is more how grass looks after 1 straight month of blistering sun and no rain what so ever.
And no, Britain colours isnt specially in any way what so ever compared to say Sweden.
The colours look darker and more toned down only when there is complete overcast.
The layout is another matter.

Sometime i wonder if people forgotten that CoD have Dynamic Lighting and colours change depending on time of day. But hey, maby we should go back to no Dynamic Lighting so the colours "feel" better.
