Anyway the blue hue is here to stay. What I wonder about is no one ever bitches about the keyhole lens effect in BF3 or BC2. Thats not realistic either but no one seems to mind.

Well, I'd say marketing accentuates and embellishes (and perhaps even exaggerates) the positive but idk know about outright "falsehoods". Yeah that would be "bad marketing" cause at best the product will fail and at worst you will get sued.

Maybe I'm the only one, but BFBC2 had Great color as far as I'm concerned except the Vietnam and desert maps.
I still play it off and on and enjoy the Graphic's and colors.

Does anyone know where to get this MOD ?

Video games haven't been able to do true eco tones yet. They always look like a cartoon. BF3 is trying to look like a movie. If they didn't do that it would look cartoonish as hell or to drab. Remember BF2? Karkland looked like mud and everyone bitched. However that's was a great attempt at eco tones. The engine just failed at the lighting at that time.

Remove that blue and leave the colors "raw" and you might as well play Call of Duty.
Too much of anything is bad, that goes beyond color. But example of red hue in a game is Fallout NV, and many people complained about that and changed that as well. It's not that anyone here is saying the blue is worse than other colors, they are just saying it's too much blue.

But yeah, BF3 did go with blues for a more cinematic feel.

I don't agree with the COD comment though, COD is the Michael Bay film of games, they also go with a blue tint. I think most would just like the ability to turn on or off tint, that way those that don't mind it can keep it.

Guys the BF3 forums are ablaze from this tweaker http://symthic.com/forum/index.php?p...=3104&pageNo=1 ,We finally get MD5 tool checker from DICE/EvenBalance.Reason is they can change weapons damage to 1000% one shot kills remove sun glare remove suppression ect ect.....And you guys wonder why I have not played this HAxers game in 3 weeks.Has nothing to do with the game being bad,Just I hate losers that cheat and make this crap.It also makes me laugh when AK came out we all thought the game was bugged when it took 6 rpgs to kill a tank, Also in tank destroyers would take 4-5 hits yet when a tank shot us ounce we were dead mmmmmm Not DICE at all guys.It is called Bf3 Tweaker And Know these idiots are claiming it was Mod reasons to make the game balanced......Bull ........

PS

this is also why you would spawn dead they could remove spawn protection too.Which has been around since Close Quarters.


NOTICE Attention! Battlelog will be down for maintenance 08:00 - 09:30 UTC Thursday October 4th.
gee would n`t be for the MD5 checker now would it.

"hackers" and those that cheat are a hard part of any online game.


That said, the past few days I've had some of my best games ever, taking the top spot on the server nearly 9/10 times.



Now, I don't really think I'm that good at this game, at all. The one advantage I have is a good set of guys to paly with, who communicate effectively, and work great together as a team.



How can hacking be such an issue, yet I can still do well, so often? Like, don't get me wrong, the game is far from perfect in my books, and yeah, outright hacking by players, yeah, I'm pretty sure I see that every day, but I just don't care.


The game can be really weird. Like I'd say 8-out-of-10 times Erocker tries to play with us, he gets swapped to the other team.

Like really? 8 out of 10 times?


Anyway, I dunno how I feel about all that stuff, really. I really like playing it, and all the problems that most complain about, don't really bother me that much.

Well, next review is up. Not being happy with the Mr. Roboto monotone voice I changed up how I write and read the info. Think this flows a lot better, reading a hard script for the entire review was causing it to really stand out. My voice is always a bit that way, not much I can do about that, but this change should help it as much as possible. Let me know what you guys think!
