[QUOTE=unreasonable;261037Those who are defending the colour choice seem to want to have it both ways: on the one wing they say that it is all subjective, so there is no right answer. On the other wing, they say that Oleg is jolly clever and so could not have got this wrong. Both these arguments cannot be right. [/QUOTE]
I'm one of these people, and I think they can.
From earlier posts, the colouration at low level/ground level is very good indeed.
It's only as we gain altitude that it starts to look a little strange.
Even then, if you set the time of day to early morning/late evening in the game (with shadows) it looks superb.
It's the midday light conditions at altitude which look 'washed out' to some, including me.
Now I have no personal experience of looking at this particular 1940 landscape at midday in summer with no cloud cover in very low humidity, but would assume that any of these variables would significantly alter what we see with our eyes/brains, which of course is very different from what a camera 'sees' before the image is reproduced either on variable quality film or digitally.
What I do know, is that if the colour needs to be like this at midday in order for it to be as gorgeous as it is at sundown or sunup I'm willing to accept it, because that's when CoD is at its best.
I don't have WoP, but all I see in these comparitive posts is a world of very cheap sunglasses.
Having said all that, I do support the idea of some in game adjustment to compensate for people's personal preferences.
