What a twist - DICE cancels color grading deactivation - Polidicks

Well, there's always Planetside. See ya Dice, been fun. Get in touch when you decide to do an actual remake of 1942 and/or 2142 that isn't brown and grey.

[QUOTE=Chrille;38150937]Do people still play it?[/QUOTE] theres usually a handfull of full servers hanging around.

[QUOTE=Riutet;38150718]4 weeks later: Brand New Look DLC, only 9.99[/QUOTE] Actually, I'd even bet on it.

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;38150911]Well if anyone needs me I'll be playing BF2142 (last good battlefield game)[/QUOTE] It's funny because when that came out we (BF fans) were all complaining about how it was just a BF2 mod with a price tag among other things, now it's the last good BF game. I know some of you might argue that BC2 was the last good BF game - while it was decent, it's more of a spinoff, really. Quite different from the main series in my eyes.

The color option was the only thing that made me reinstall Battlefield 3. I was planning on buying the close quarters expansion, but not now.

[quote]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. [/quote] What an incredibly shitty and baffling thing to do. This is completely backwards. Putting your "visual style" (or as everyone else would call it "Crappy colour filtering that makes everything look worse than it would have") above what the consumer actually wants is retarded. The fact that so many people wanted it without the stupid blue hue just goes to show that this decision is the opposite of what was really wanted. If Dice had any sense they would have seen that the fact that it was something people wanted to be able to legitimately do and said "Well, people seem to like this so how about we go ahead and actually support it properly by fixing the known bugs it causes and adding it to the options menu?". Looking like shit heads is what Dice should be avoiding at a time when people are becoming far more critical of them.

I'd love a new 2142. Titan assaults were the pizaz

lol dice is like a kid who goes 'IT'S THE PERSPECTIVE!!!!!!!' when you tell him that his drawing is way out of proportion

[quote]and if you have any further questions on this subject, I will refer back to the above statement.[/quote] In otherwords, [quote]fuck off.[/quote] Also this option was actually tempting me to play BF3 again after 8 months, I may even have bought some DLC just because Wake Island looked like fucking Wake Island again and not an island off the coast of Greenland.

Everyone is rating the OP funny, but it's not

The reason for their decision doesn't make any sense. I don't play bf3 but this is upsetting.

Wow. Nice one DICE. JUST ADD IT, IT'S FUCKING OPTIONAL AND IT DOESN'T HURT GRAPHICS EVEN BY AN INCH.

[QUOTE=digigamer17;38151066]Wow. Nice one DICE. JUST ADD IT, IT'S FUCKING OPTIONAL AND IT DOESN'T HURT GRAPHICS EVEN BY AN INCH.[/QUOTE] But that'll upset their unique identity!!! This is the downside of the whole 'video games are art' argument, we have developers so enamored with their own creations, they refuse to change anything that's detrimental or disliked for the sake of artistic integrity

God damn it DICE, I was actually really looking forward to this...

I actually had hopes for this Only to have them placed on the curb and have it's brains smashed out by a heavy spiked military boot called "Dice". We will never EVER see modding ever again from AAA titles unless it's Valve. They will ALWAYS be the one shining light for modders, or as it is going now, the ONLY shining light.

Proud to have ignored this game since release.

[QUOTE=digigamer17;38151199]Is gimmick the right term for stuff like this?[/QUOTE] a gimmick would mean that saturation -100 is some kind of selling point

Well guys it's been nice knowing you all. :suicide:

This made me regret selling BF3 once I found out, but now I couldn't be more happy.

Unique visual identity? It look like every recent CoD and MoH. I mean I understand that as an artist it can be even offensive when people tell you to change stuff in your art piece but come on, the objective here is to please the customer, not your artistic views. Shit, while you guys are at it why not remove the brightness option?

I remember when everyone was shitting themselves about how great this game would be, a COD killer.

I don't understand why the colour palette is such a big deal? Yeah, a choice is nice but I can't understand why it would stop you from playing or anything.

Dice has really gone down the drain after BC2. I remember when they promised that no map packs for Battlefield games would cost money anymore, and they would be given to us for free. That went right out the fucking window with battlefield 3, along with modding tools. Now it's like they're purposely trying to piss off their community.

[QUOTE=yjhghtfh;38150701]Welp there goes any chance of me buying it[/QUOTE] BF4 is coming anyways

[QUOTE=The Baconator;38151387]BF4 is coming anyways[/QUOTE] With how fast after BF3's release they announced it, a little voice inside of me is yelling "don't do it"

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;38151307]I remember when everyone was shitting themselves about how great this game would be, a COD killer.[/QUOTE] It's a decent game at it's core, but unfortunately bullshit like this has gotten in the way.

[QUOTE=legolover122;38150716]Fuck you dice. Fuck you. Fuck your battlefield 4. Fuck your everything. I am going back to battlefield 2 and bad company 2.[/QUOTE] I don't know what happened. What the fuck did EA do to them? I mean, Dice can't be this fucking dumb, they were always good. It can only be EA.
