[BF3] DICE Reneges on Disabling Color Grading Issue in Next Battlefield 3 Patch

Total Gaming Network wrote:<div class="article cms_clear restore postcontainer">A few days ago, it was revealed that DICE would be implementing a command line switch for <i>Battlefield 3</i> that would allow players to safely disable the game's color grading. This came a bit after other solutions were discovered by the community that not only made the game look absolutely gorgeous and not washed out, but also resulted in a large number of server kicks being dished out for modifying game files.<br />
<br />
Well, as it turns out, DICE has gone back on their stance and will not be including this feature in the next, or any, patch.<br />
<br />
<h5>Mikael Kalms, an employee at DICE, made this official remark on the Mordor HQ forums</h5><div style="margin-left:40px">After discussing this further with my colleagues, we have decided to not implement this feature. This is the studio’s take on this matter, and I support this decision:<br />
<br />
"As a studio, it is extremely important for us at DICE to have a unique identity in our games, not only from a gameplay perspective, but visually as well. While we appreciate that some players might want a slightly different look to the game, we are proud of the visual identity of Battlefield 3 and do not wish to change it."</div><br />
If that isn't a huge kick to the pants, I don't know what is.<br />

Sooo.... umadbro?


But seriously They made a decision and to go back on it (year after the game is made) for the people who can't stand a dirty look, because they want a pretty game to look at while they shoot things, is just bad, YOU MAKE A DECISION STICK WITH IT. Half a game really? Campaign was good. The co-op mode could have had more missions. Multiplayer was fun and if you played it for as long as everyone else has...you have no right to say it is half a game.


again....


Should I pick up some tampons while I am at the supermarket or do you still have some?

And this isn't even really removing their preference for the visual look, it's giving users more option. They would only be adding additional features here.

They're going against integrity here either way here since they've already stated they were going to change things. I'd rather them go against artistic integrity over the integrity of their word.

I am quite mad actually. Campaign was alright, more of a CoD rip off. Half a game because they release multiple DLCs after the game is released(shallow i know, most games do it) but most of these DLCs were flops and plus all the glitches that happen upon a new patch (M26 MASS, frag rounds) and once they have fixed them the weapons ar epretty much useless with the exception of the FAMAS, barely. I have a right to be mad as a consumer.

Name a game that has no glitches or problems. And the dlc was released for fresh content...

DAMN IT LEMON LET ME HAVE MY BIASED OPINION

I suppose saying half a game was a bit of an exaggeration but i was unsatisfied with the finished product.
