Don't really want to go there, BUT, the above was almost exactly my description of how COD looked from anything above a few thousand feet. On the ground it looked great however!
[This probably says a lot again about the plus and minus aspect of COD's advanced features - the advanced lighting model that meant terrain colours and appearances were affected by the parameters input to the lighting system. The minus being that apparently it was so complex that they were NEVER able to make it look satisfactory at all altitudes, so from ground it's really great but gets washed out and pastel-shaded as you go up. They tried tweaking it in various patches and were never able to get it fully sorted]
I personally prefer the ROF depiction of England to COD's, but as the COD map was one of my big bug-bears that's probably not surprising.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose.
Good post Freycinet.
