Agreed. It must have been a sever side adjustment. Just looks a bit off to me now....Yep, im having the same. It looks like its rendering distance. Its probably changed for better performance and it seems its not a bug.
Yea was a joke, players did it so much in MO so MO2 does it for you.Na, I don't think its just gamma up change. Look at the trees - those are drawing better quality in shorter distances, but are a bit less pretty and more brighter at longer distances.
