Be nice when our landscape looks like this... :)

Yeah, I actually prefer the look we have in COD right now to that.... plane models look terrible...

Check out those last rocket runs from the end of the video. Textures are MUCH worse, trees are 2D cutouts... Everything about this game just looks like a worse version of RiseofFlight graphics, plus a smearing of PP effects that look absolutely terrible.

I don't wanna bash CloD or anything and I didn't play Wings of Prey, so close up it might not be as good looking, but the atmosphere, that the landscape, paired with the clouds and the colours of the terrain, delivers, looks really immersive to me. At least from what I can tell, watching this video for example:

I'm not talking about the aircraft models or the cockpit details (those are much better in CloD), just the scenery.
I don't know, but CloD feels different somehow. Can't really put my finger on it!

The environment in those games is obscured by a layer of haze, and is desaturated to look like Saving Private Ryan.

Although it may look good from an artistic standpoint, I can't call it "immersive".

CloD attempts to model reality with proper levels of contrast, brightness, and color saturation. This is really hard to do well.

Even though CloD may look bland in some situations, it more closely matches reality than the examples posted in these videos. Let's face it, sometimes real life is boring. And, maybe it's just fallen victim to the principle of the "Uncanny Valley".

In any case, I'm sure the environment in CloD will improve, once more serious issues are resolved.

Yes I pointed this out before! WOP graphics are ALOT nicer and much closer to reality! GRAPHICS only though! Wish Clod had this graphic.. Real life environment is more greenish/blueish like WOP... CLOD is too yellowish.. well ONe can only dream..

Here we go again. Last time this started we finally lost the amazing cockpits and sunsets from the original game. What is going to be next?
If you like the green / bluish stormy look in a summer sunny day, go see actual holywood movies, or yeah, console games like WoP.

Pretty sure that the engine of CoD is capable of looking as good and even better than those showings. The trick is to fix the copious amount of bugs.
