Poll for less-saturated colours

It all depends on the light, in the real world as in the game. COD has, in my opinion, the most advanced lighting engine in a sim.
Once the new weather engine is released, we'll see more clouds in the skies and more clouds means less light getting to the ground and less bright colors of the terain.
The terain textures look a bit more like early-mid summer not late summer, but desaturating everything is not the solution.
After SDK is released, maybe we can get modified maps, with late summer/fall textures. That will get us a much better fix then just global desaturation of textures.

England looked the same in 1940 as today, with 1,000s of coal burning factories, furnaces, mills and locomotives that no longer send all their soot into the air? I remember visiting Western PA when I was a kid growing up in Florida. Even on a cloudless summer day the scenery in the Allegheny River valley was quite a bit darker than Florida, even though there were ample trees and grass.
