“More options for players is a win” -343.
If more options is a win, one I’d really like to see is an option that switches the Friend/Foe coloring from shields to a more classic armor color. Instead of seeing an enemy player with blue armor and red shields, it’d be red armor with classic yellow shields.
Personally I think it’d go a long way for both team recognition and cleaning up the visuals of the game. I know that always-visible personal colors is a way of “store advertising”, but most people never touch the advanced settings. If this is buried in there I don’t think it’d affect the advertising effect to most players, only the ones looking for neater visuals will find the setting. Players who probably weren’t getting wooed by other players’ armor coatings in the first place.
While not the main topic here, a setting that allows us to disable all weapon customization client side would be something that definitely gets me back into Infinite more.
All the crazy charms, coatings (armor and weapons), and kill effects make the visuals just too overwhelming in an otherwise fun game. At very least maybe please consider these as accessibility settings, not everyone is great with so much visual noise.

I agree, a true red vs blue match-up sounds great, they could maybe even have different variations of the 2 colors to add a bit more customization for those who would want it. They could add it as a separate game mode entirely or just an option in the settings, either one would work.

I truly miss the old Red vs Blue style of team matching.

This is a great idea and just game me an interesting thought. What if all the cosmetics are causing random crashes. Like they used to as they were being implemented to MCC H3? Turn it all off the crashes stop and the lag goes down. If the servers didn’t have to keep track of so much superfluous data online MP might run smoother. Though i might be wrong because all the problems in matchmaking don’t seem to crop up as much in custom games.

I’d love for a Red Vs Blue option, however I don’t see it happening since 343i are monetizing colours still.
Please, pretty please bring back red vs blue.
Even though after 20 years I started to see how certain maps had hidden advantages. For example, the color pallet of a map can make it harder to see a certain team thus increasing their chances of winning. Also, the inheritance of red plays more aggressive and blue plays more passive. Some maps and modes benefit one style over the other.
Regardless of these unavoidable design challenges, the current team design identification is less appealing than the original. The current style is functional but comparatively not as optimal as the original.
P.S. I also dislike being able to see my teammates silhouettes through walls.
Yeah, I think a red vs blue option would make it easier to distinguish between friend and foe.

I actually hosted a slayer custom game and asked 1 team to wear red and the other to wear blue. It was actually pretty fantastic. Please 343i, add this as an option!!

I’d love this to be implemented but it probably won’t. 343i are one of the worst for accessibility options for players, they dont want you to have fun your way, its their way or no way. Also they have too much invested in colours in the shop.
