Earlier this week I announced that DICE were adding a console command to turn colour grading off but the company has now back flipped on that.
A follow up post by Mikael Kalms, senior programmer said this on the Mordor HQ Forums in rebuttal to his previous statement.
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:
"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."
I apologize for getting anybody’s hopes up, and if you have any further questions on this subject, I will refer back to the above statement.

What do you think about this? Has this soured your view of DICE? Tell us in our forums.
