DICE: removing BF3 colour grading is too colourful, threatens with perm ban

[QUOTE="lordreaven"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"] It makes me feel like I'm in a war, it's a shame it doesn't do the same for you. Your loss I guess. War isn't always about tactical and slow strategy like ArmA, it's at time hectic where you don't know what's happening. FelipeInside

Arma 2 doesn't look as undersaturated and blueish gray like BF3.

I don't tihnk BF3 grpahics are bad, I just think they could have been a lot better. The water doesn't look like water and the fires don't look like actual fire.

it looks washed out and bland and I personally hate that. At least what they could do is add a saturation slider like Rockstar does in Red Dead and GTA 4.

Some games are just better with more colour. If wow had the same tint and bf3 i don't think many people would play it. Maybe i dont play battlefield 3 that much because the colour is horrible.mep69

I prefer this overzealous anti-cheat policy over COD´s cheat as much as you want.

Do you will enjoy this grading mod in multiplayer if some guy starts to shoot you through the walls ?

Changing the color grading will make enemy players more visible giving you an advantage. Other injector mods cut down on the sun glare which gives an advantage.

It sucks, and DICE better be listening to people and see the mods people are making to get around their terrible color filters, but it is a large enough advantage to be unfair.

Mods like this could also add in client-side gameplay bonuses.

It's childish to not think it through and just make stupid accusations.

I completely agree. The sky and water are the only things that truely look better imo. They went too far when trying to fix everything else. A happy medium would have been much better.

I have no love for Battlefield 2, so I could careless if it looked more it. I think the color grading makes a lot of the effects and environment look really bad. The trees and vegetation all look completely out of place, the maps all look waaaay more brown now, buildings and objects don't blend well together in certain spots, and some lighting looks terrible now because everything is far more bright and colorful.

I don't come into games looking for realistic graphics. I enjoy the tinted coloring on the maps, it gives them a a nice unique look. I think Metro looks simply awful with the color grading. It completely destroys the look of that map.

I love how everyone at the beginning was hating on DICE but after seeing screenshots (not just the select few good ones the video shows) everyone can see why the grading is there. It looks better in a lot of areas.Toxic-Seahorse

Wow EA/Dice can go to hell for this. I won't be spending another penny on their bf games in the future.

I hear this every few months with every EA game. It's like people have no principles and still go out, buy EA games and a few months down the line threaten to quit for the 1000th dick move by them. See you in BF4.

Stop at slide 15?

[QUOTE="SharkheadHD"][QUOTE="mitu123"] DICE could easily make the game look better without that gray and blue fliter, they're just lazy. I hope BF4 doesn't have it or else...

Something like this seems more reasonable than removing the filter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02QRozsJ6Cc&hd=1&t=19sZubinen

The game looks so much better with the mod. I think it should be officially adopted.

My God... I wish I could play BF3 with proper colours like that. I don't mind when developers want to shoot for certain colour gradients to project a certain feel, but it honestly does just bother my eyes because I'm searching between different shades of grey for the enemy. So because of that, I've always wanted a toggle for that stuff. Dirt and Dirt 2's browns and overuse of bloom did the same thing to me, and kind of ruined the game imo.

Am I the only one who prefers it with the normal colour grading? The modded scenes look like a cartoon.

Gamers in general love to overreact to things like "brown and bloom" and then go to the opposite end of the spectrum. BF3's default color grading isn't that great. It's way too blue and the colors are too washed out. That said usually these mods go way overboard with the colors and really ruin the saturation. A happy middle ground is needed.

Mojority of the map looked good in colour.....

I was going to reinstall when I saw this amazing mod, but after the ban threat I think I'll stay away. I'm playing the Planetside 2 beta anyway.
