I would love a bit more vibrancy in the game's pallet. I know the Mechwarrior world is pretty GrimDark, but we can have a bit more colour without feeling like its battle over Candyland.

I agree the right-side does look more visually dynamic.

New from the 'mechbay gift shop: "The Sound of Lasers," a heartwarming musical set in the early days of the Clan invasion.

A little bit brighter colors would be better. It's a little drap out there is River City.

[Grotonomus]

I would prefer the more vibrant colors also, I bet the Hero Mech paint jobs would look a lot better also.

Color Saturation for the win.

Left is current, right is without color filters.

The images on the left are properly color graded and invoke a sense of grim war, tense atmosphere and emote.

The images on the right seem like they were run through a color balance filter on Photoshop that attempted to remove the color gradation, and give a sense of happiness, well-being, fun and other emotions that don't feel synonymous with mechanized warfare.

You think this is bad you should have seen closed BETA. First time I saw the game in closed BETA I thought it was the grey screen of death. I hope they get to the colors your pics had soon though.

The idea is to enjoy the game, not feel grim, sad, depressed about playing. I'm sure plenty of wars have been fought on warm sunny days.

[Aegis Kleais]

This is ultimately the choice of the game to abide by what its artists painstakingly craft for the game world. The color, shape, form and design choices that few realize and appreciate, but note when they are absent.

You can either choose to follow the artists rendition and utilize these color gradations (my personal choice), or you allow users to strip all that away and remove the ambiance for the same of "ooooh, preeeetty."

River City god rays coming down from the citadel; the dark murky waters, the dull gray cityscapes of the architecture... these things are done for a reason; there is great cohesion in these maps; you can see a lot of time and effort went into them.

Always drink in moderation.

[MustrumRidcully]

I prefer the left. I hate colors.

Oh, wait, I don't. Canw e have more colors, please?

I also would call the Dragon in the upper right one "Smaug", because it's clearly shot on Middle Earth (New Zealand).

Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa.........ahahahahahahaha......

I know the forums don't support game hacks, but is there any visual color filter hack that can be applied to disable the filter? PrettyTech would be lovely.

[BlackSquirrel]

Yeah we brought this up in closed beta as well... Why the god damned brown wash out!!!!?

ALSO FILM GRAIN!!!

[ElmoWithAGun]

More colors and new maps would greatly improve this game.

[PraetorRUS]

I really want to see more sunny and colorfull maps in MWO.

My eyes really hurt trying to find a gray enemy on a faded horizon on most of the current maps (Frozen city at night I love so much your crystal clear air!).

So I'm forced to switch to a thermal vision and 90% of my MWO time I'm looking on a blue shadows over black background. It's really depressing and steals a lot of fun.

Devs, please, more light, more colors, more contrast! This game has a nice engine and shouldn't punish for not using a thermal vision.
