ROF is like a Mac (Friendly, slick, well packaged, doesn't have all the bells and whistles). CloD is like a PC (not friendly or slick, assets don't look consistent, but you get more things simulated).

Personally I think the OLD sun glow at this time of day looked beautiful with the deep orange ball as apposed to the NEW one which is much brighter and lighter in colour. The sky does look better in general, thats for sure.

I have to agree there BigP, not overly keen on the new colours though it is growing on me.

To me it seems that COD is more realistic on an component-for-component basis, it's just that they need a bit of fine tuning (like the new lighting) to make all the individual aspects of it properly integrate with each other into a complete environment.

Couldn't agree more!
