You can do that yourself, with a slider, ingame.

The devs like new, shiny AC.

Clouds make a tremendous difference in color perception. The developers are showing us the most difficult sections of the day to model color-wise... bright sunlight.

When it's overcast and/or the sun is setting, the textures, etc will all look more and more "real" as the color fades - and... much easier for the computer to make it look "real". Take note that thebest screenshots in any sim are typically dawn or dusk.

Development shots look great. What a great platform to build on...

I'm not quire sure what you mean - are you saying that the green in the image you posted is perfect, and that's what the colour in CoD should look like?
