Look upon them and weep

Mount Fuji? Meh. Sunset over the Grand Canyon? Pffffthphphph. Mona Lisa? Sod off, you minging great bag-face. Why have I developed this new-found, devil-may-carecavalierness towards visual beauty in all its forms? Simple. I' have just seen these new Battlefield 3 multiplayer and co-op screens from Gamescom, which you are also about to see. They may be heavily doctored, and they're almost certainly from the PC version either way, but holy hell, are they pretty enough to ruin your very sense of ocular wonder for the rest of your very days.

Gaze on them and weep. And then leave your estimate of just how much each one has been doctored in the comments, in the form of a percentage.


Above: Okay, this one isn't too amazing, but its filesize was over triple that of the others combined. Really
