Personally speaking, I'm still disappointed in the COD terrain. Colourwise I think it looks right at low altitude where the colours are vivid, but as you climb to several thousand feet the landscape becomes overly pastel-shaded. I think it is probably an attempt to simulate the haze layer, but for me it just doesn't look right.

I think they've got the grass colour right at ground and low level. If you check grass/vegetation colours in bright, sunlit, Summer conditions it does have that almost-phophorescent luminosity.

JG52_Uther, your pic may be under-exposed and the conditions look fairly cloudy, but there is still a very saturated tone to the colours. If you go to an equivalent altitude in COD it won't look like that.

My monitor is calibrated as well by the way.

(the other big issue with the landscape is tree/hedgerow related, but it's been done to death already, so I'll not go into it again.)
