Back to Karkand Looks Stunning without Color Grading

[Shawn Zipay]

If you've never played Battlefield 3 without an FXAA injector, you may not have any idea of just how gorgeous the game can really be. You may be stuck with washed out colors and an overall blue color scheme all the time.

Well, somebody took this idea one step further. They actually removed the color correction and color grading from the source files and have uploaded the comparison in a video format. They take a look at the maps featured in Back to Karkand.

Now, there is something very important to note here. Modifying the game files will be considered a hack, so DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS. However, they say that the FXAA injectors are still safe because they are just additional files that alter the colors up a bit.

Wow, really makes the game more realistic with all those colors. It is nice to see pictures where the grass/trees are lush and tropical and the sand is actually the color of sand and not grey... They should have a setting for changing it to the original colors and having no filters and what not on, it would be way more enjoyable to see the realistic colors and not the bland/grayed color scheme that we have with this game..

FFS DICE! At least make it so Server admins have the option of running it on their servers on or off!

They don't want to scrap the "artistic" design they choose for BF3 with its blue/grey filters. It will stay like that until BF4...

I think if we complain enough they may feel motivated to do something.

Or, you know, just use an injector?

These are different to the injectors from what I've heard. These mods remove the colour while Injectors only add code, and are not banned by PB.

I know this. What I'm saying is, why rally to make this an option when it already is an option that can be done through more legit means than modifying game files?

Ah okay, fair enough. Wasn't really thinking when I posted the first one and just wanted to sound like I knew stuff with the second. I usually don't agree with my first posted opinion... Well I would like to get it done but It won't happen the way the BF community tries to get things done.

Is there anything official on the internet from why they choose to go with that tint/colour?
