Actually it doesn't, which is the very point of this discussion.

I've see south-western England from the air quite a few times, and the colours in CoD are nowhere near the real thing.

CoD looks very nice at early morning or late evening (especially the dawn fog effects, combined with the lighting are simply breathtaking) , but the palette in "normal" daylight is simply way off.
