It isn't even a close call. The WoP screenshot looks like garbage. The CoD shot looks like the photo. WoP may have more trees, but that doesn't make it look more like the landscape in the photo.

Seriously, it is not possible to look at those 3 shots and not say that WoP looks more real unless you are on the graphic arts staff for WoP, and even they would probably admit that CoD looks better.

@ David Hayward

But your pics highlight beautifully the very point that is painstakingly trying to be put across to you. The fact that the trees are so isolated & apart gives it an extremely un-uk feel, more akin to the mediterranean etc.

That looks a damn sight more like England than WoP does. The problem with CoD's overall look has everything to do with lack of FSAA and AF and nothing to do with design and layout. Digital Vibrance has sorted the colour for me too.

Oh so you are flying a low dense trees zone, I guess you should fly a forest zone the next time

Then some naysayers will be angry and jump to another guess

It does nothing of the sort. The CoD screenshot is virtually identical to the photo. The CoD "isolated trees" are blind WoP fanboyism. The same "isolated trees" exist in the WoP shot.

Are you now complaining that CoD trees don't have enough branches?

Look, I have had enough. The post with the WoP screenshot, CoD screenshot, and actual photo pretty much says it all. If you expect the CoD devs to make that game look more like WoP in any way, you are not going to be happy. WoP looks like crap. If you like it, that's great, but anyone looking at that post realizes immediately that CoD is closer to the real photo. If you are counting tree branches, then you are just desperate, and there is no point to responding to you. If you have any other points you'd like to make, just look at page 47 of this thread. It is my response to anything further you have to say on this subject.

No dave im not complaining about about trees not having enough branches, your complaining about me thinking thats what I'm saying.
I'm saying that the trees are two sparcely placed so increase the branches or place them closer together to make it look more dense.

Oh and nearly forgot :
