    Only I would have preferred if they had really stuck to the not-really-promised-by-expected 1:1 rendition. They left out a lot of streets, and they didn't bother renumbering them (because those that are still in are close to RL). Worst bit is having a "Lexington Event Center" as a mission location, and removing the actual Lexington Ave.

    There is such a thing as compulsory licensing. We ought to be more serious about using it, and copyright holders whose properties are in public view should not be able to ask disproportionate compensation when their unavoidable eyesores are included simply for accuracy's sake. Were the building central to the game or otherwise paraded around for the purpose of drawing customers, that would be different. As it stands, Ubi should have replaced it with a smoldering ruin rather than this idiotic companion piece to Hearst Tower.

I'm not sure if it's that the division looks maybe too cartoony...or maybe it's that i'm always running while playing? i mean i didn't even recognize msg.

As for colours it will be very close to what the human eye will be able to see.

    Looking back on the D1 graphics they look a little better than now especially the lighting looks better too, I noticed with the Ubisoft games they are even downgrading their graphics I guess for it to run smoother, personally I prefer the old Ubisoft graphics when siege, D1, and they other game’s graphics than the new colorful bright graphics with horrible lighting and the characters almost look like they are on the brink of turning into a potato.
