So - they have a filter that makes it (almost) monochromatic? They may think it makes it a more "cinematic" experience, but to me it just looks ugly.

go watch movies like Flags of our Fathers, or Letters from Iwo Jima, or the beginning of Casno Royale. They are trying to make an artificial film grain.

Heres something I've always found stupid about this sort of technique in FPS games (not just KZ2)

The game is a FIRST person shooter, that is you are seeing the world through the eyes of the character - not through a camera lens. Since this is the case, why try and approximate what a camera sees when you aren't really seeing the world through a camera? Wouldn't it make much more sense to try and approximate how the human eye sees things, thus making it a true FIRST PERSON experience?

A good example is how overdone lens flair was a few years ago, or even bloom today. Neither of these effects are present in the human eye the way they are implimented in games, so it seems kinda out of place in an FPS IMHO.

BTW, they aren't mimiking film grain

then i should have stuck with my first argument that its jsut due to all the smoke and dust in the air.
