If any of you have the dreaded male pattern baldne… err… colour blindness, you will no doubt be like me in hating the see-through radar and the red enemy.
Trying to look at the radar on some maps is an exercise in futility because the enemy dots are red. As this is the one colour it is really hard to see it makes seeing the red armour and the red dots REALLY HARD. It’s like they are using a permanent active camo at times.
This is why games like Battlefield rock imho… because they have a colour blind option. Games such as Halo are are favoured by mainly boys/men… who are the ones most likely to have this colour blindness.
So how to fix it.
Radar - This could be fixed by making the radar opaque (as trying to make out the red dots against any type of background is really hard for someone with Red/Green partial colour blindness) and changing the annoying red dots to yellow diamonds would help even more… or even + signs. Anything but the hard to see red dots. Even using an E for enemy would help.
Red Armour - If they changed it to gold it would at least make it so the colour blind people could actually see the enemy. There are times when the red enemy only appears when they fire or open their plasma swords… I’ve been convinced the enemy was cheating as I saw no enemy but when I play back the movie they were there WITH NO ACTIVE CAMO. I just couldn’t see their red armour.
Red Player Tag - This could be made gold/yellow as well. This would at least let us read them.
