Default Water quality

Hi,
Default sattings of water in CoD is Water= -1, but I see one video on YouTube with very good quality of water, better than normal.
How to change it? I tested from -3 to 3 (conf.ini in Documents) but quality of water is too same, any ideas?

Are you watching videos made with this last two versions of the game?

Why I'm asking is because since the last patch most of the advanced graphics features of the game have been chopped off in the quest for performance.
The water, like everything else, looked significantly better in the previous versions of the game.

Here's few shots with the water in the older versions of the game:

All those nice reflections are gone. Now the water has the same color under sunny or overcast sky. They dumbed down the lighting engine to a level where nothing looks natural anymore.

I think reflections are actually 100% gone. First the fresnel reflections on aircraft went, then water.... I loved them so much!

Yes, it looked like this. Shadows/mirrors on the water. Pity, than it was removed.
Thx for the info.
