I refuse to believe that our high-tech sensor technology would be even slightly thwarted by tall grass. However, the current passive scanning is rather short range, and most people rely more upon visual, upon which tall grass could become more useful.

As for plant life, from what I have heard, DUST is going to go to some lengths to impress upon us the Sci-fi aspect of the planets we are on with bizarre fauna and strange colorations.

You have my support, more environments that effect gameplay..... WATER TOO!

I've always wondered when I occasionally think about it- how should water work in dust?

Can we breathe under water?
Do we sink or swim? Or just specific suits?
Is our armor waterproof? To what depth, and what about our weapons?

There is no reason why the plant life has to be green, in fact its unrealistic scientifically speaking. Here is a pretty image of a real life place: click here, wouldn't it look great in Dust?

There s a simple reason: Chlorphyll and photosyntesis

EDIT: to anyone who wants to say "they have to be green because chlorophyll"
Plants evolved on Earth to reflect away green light away (why they appear green) because absorbing everything (being black) despite being more energy efficient would be much more dangerous for the plant to handle because the large amount of light being received from the sun. Green was reflected instead of other colors because despite the high energy value of of photons on the blue/green side of the spectrum, the majority of photons emitted by our sun is mostly reds, so it makes more sense to use red and throw away green. To sum up: absorbing everything is too dangerous, and blues and greens aren't nearly as valuable as reds because of their volume, so green is a smart choice of a wavelength to not use.
The important thing to take away from that is that the sun is responsible for the evolutionary pressures. If we had a blue sun for example the color of plants would have evolved much differently, or if Earth was further from the sun leading to much less sunlight than plants would evolve to be black to not waste any wavelengths because they would need all they can get.

The available light decides the color evolved, its not always green. Also, even if they evolve the same color, they probably aren't using the same chemical as a pigment given the very unscripted and "random" nature of evolution, so just assuming its chlorophyll is odd.
