Hehe I remember when I got thumbs down on a site for saying that Call Of Duty had more color than Battlefield 3. I didn't say anything about which game was better, but this was the year of the hype train before BF3 was released so anything you say that sounds like it's against BF3 was being met with a thumbs down. So motivated to stand up for for the game, someone posted 3 pics with color and instantly got 200+ thumbs up. Maybe he didn't understand.

Like the story above, this is old news below.

Tinkering Battlefield 3 soldiers released a mod today allowing tweaks to the displayed color levels, with the most dramatic result involving the suffusion of the pervasive blue-tinged gradient into supposedly more natural colors. The sample photo album and comparison video definitely show a stark difference between stock and modified visuals, but when asked for his input on the mod, Battlefield 3 gameplay designer Gustav Halling said it was “too colorful” and warned of possible permanent bans for users.

“[It's] too colorful,” Halling tweeted. “Also, I wouldn’t use those hacks if you don’t want a permanent ban on your account. FYI warning.”
