Client Side - That means only your game is affected by the changes of this mod.

Description 

"No Vietnam Filter" is not only a mod that gets rid of the vietnam-movie like post processing effects, but also improves the general lighting in a more realistic way. While this vietnam-movie look is somehow fitting, I personally don't like it, so I decided to change the post processing effects to a more realistic look and ended up with a complete lighting overhaul. I still call the mod "No Vietnam Filter", because at its core it does only that: get rid of the vietnam-movie look.
Since pictures are saying more than thousands words I will stop writing unnecessary stuff now, simply enjoy!
No ENB, ReShade, SweetFX etc. used, so no FPS loss! 

This mod modifies & affects only the Vietnam maps!

All screenshots were created with the highest graphics settings & bloom disabled.

Features:
 

-No Vietnam Post Processing Effects
-Realistic Lighting Overhaul
Which means:
-No washed out look 
-Reduced bloom
-Brighter shadows
-Better fitting LOD colors*
-Better feeling for depth of a map

*except for the map "Operation Hastings" which has weird lighting even unmodified.

Disclaimer

Since BFBC2 Mod Loader modifies two game files directly, there is always the risk of a BAN! I use client-side modifications (cosmetic stuff only) on official servers (Punkbuster protected) as well as on Nexus Emulator/Project Rome servers for a long time without any problems. Even the official servers are modded as hell, so I don't expect a ban in the future. I am still NOT responsible for any BAN you get, so use this mod on your OWN RISK!
