Ok,
So for the few who struggle with colour perception issues will probably agree with me on this. I was surprised to find that Halo 5: Guardians did not contain a sort of filter or UI overhaul for the HUD and for me this is a really big deal. Many other AAA titles feature it so why not Halo? For someone like me that plays a lot of Halo custom games, I find the IFF (Identification, friend or foe) tags / nametags really hard to read and sometimes results in fatal mistakes or ‘hesitations’ when interacting with the custom-game community.
It’s just so frustrating to try and read those small red names. Other titles like Call of Duty feature the option to switch your HUD colours for your IFF tags or nametags and it really helps me identify clearly who to shoot and who not to. I’ve tried just looking at Spartan’s armour, but Halo 5 had really confusing cosmetic armours and the armour colours sometimes made it even harder to identify.
Now I know this is not a big issue for the community, but I think it looks good on you guys (343i) when you support the diverse community which I know you listen to. Not a direct attack at all, just hoped by now it would be clear that there needs to be some sort of ‘colourblind assist’ in a game like this. Looking forward to Halo: Infinite this year and thank you for reading!
I’m not colourblind but 343 PLEASE PUT THIS IN INFINITE! Accessibility features are always of great importance, especially for something as common as being colourblind.
Halo has always been a great shooter for visibility and player identification in matches, let’s take the next step
Agreed player accessibility features in the game should always be a first thought when making any game.
I agree, 343 should really put that into Halo Infinite to attract more players and help those who have difficulties with colors
a colorblind option should really be included.
for the mean time i made a reshade setup for the mcc that aims to improve visibility for the colorblind:
enchroma reshade- game accesibility for the colorblind
This shouldn’t remove developers agency to include accessibility options, but show their ease of implementation.

What an awesome tool! I agree with you, 343 still needs to address this issue.
I 100% agree with a colorblind option but please don’t make it a simple color filter. If anything, add in a feature where anyone can change the colors of team colors on a client side view.
Game default: red vs blue
me (issues with reds and greens): yellow vs blue
other options: cyan vs purple
This doesn’t seem like it would be difficult to implement, so I agree. This should be in the games in order to help people with such struggles.

YES! I have this issue too
