To be honest, this looks a lot more realistic than both Black Ops and CoD4. CoD4's Gold was great, can't argue with that. However, it was too shiny even in darker areas. Black Ops on the other hand, was too much texture and the black made it look ugly. It was also pretty dark imo.
Now on MW3, the Gold looks more realistic, because of its perfect hint of gold. I may be wrong but gold isn't that shiny in reality. The slightest shading will make it seem like copper, if not, bronze :lol:
