That photo uther posted is terribly under-exposed, careful with that comparison because now people will want CLOD to be a stylized high contrast game.

The landscape is perfect now...

Bingo, that is a good example of what CLOD is trying to achive. This looks like a quality stock photo with good balance and very little manipulation of color saturation and contrast.

Please, whatever but Hollywood filmic console colors in CoD.
It amazes me how many people actually think postprocesed hollywood images looks more real than reality itself ¬¬

Yes I posted up a poor quality pic, but as i said, its monitor setting dependant, and subjective.
And I agree with Krupi, it looks pretty good now.

At altitude for me CLOD looks pretty nice but at low altitude is where the horrible lime green colours can be seen.

Since everything else on my PC (games, films, photos) look just right to me I don't think calibration is the issue.

I am a supporter of CLOD but there are some people that seem to defend CLODs faults which I find baffling.

Grass is not lime green...I have some in my garden :)

I havent seen lime green grass for a since it was removed a few patches ago, if anything one could says its a bit dark now.

Could you post a few screens?

Will do when I get a chance.

Why? Just because most of ww2 pictures and videos you saw were washed out, grainy and yellow, doesn't mean the real world has a built in sepia filter.

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.)
