TR control point color is green?....

[Resolve]

I'm not sure I enjoy that too much. It makes me feel like the control point is friendly because green = friendly in most games. It definitely sucks that red = enemy... maybe they can put the faction logo's there instead? that would make more sense..

Its green if your faction controls that point, the other factions see it as red, or blue, or purple depending on what faction your playing.

Green IS friendly. TR cap icons are red unless you are TR, then it's green because it's your point. For everyone else, TR points are red.

I didn't realize until just now this is how it worked. That was confusing me all along. They should just stick with red / blue / purple. Would make things simpler.

I actually would prefer to see my faction colors on my points. EVERYTHING PURPLE!

Little things that you don't notice until you have people actually USE the game.

Good question. Not sure if a cap point can be neutral. If it can be then it should be green or grey. I agree that they should be red/blue/purple when owned.

Neutral is yellow iirc.

I assume we're only going to see this color within the first 5 minutes of a server going up since capturing a base skips the "neutral" part.

Yeah. Or if there's ever a sever reset due to some difficulties.

I like friendly=green.

It means that my hilariously color-blind friend can play NC with me this time around. In PS1, he couldn't do it very easily, because his inability to see the red in the Vanu purple meant that he saw two colors on the minimap and distant soldiers: Terran pseudo-grey (or however red/green colorblind people actually perceive red) and blue. Was that Vanu red-blind purple blue, or true NC blue? Nobody knows! Well, he sure didn't.

He's learned to usually differentiate the colorless tones that red and green make by varied brightness, etc. in order to function in normal society. But things like blue/purple still throw him off easily, because it's a lot more subtle to him.

That's a good point. I'd also point out that playing multiple factions often could get one confused when assaulting/defending a base and end up trying to capture your team's already held objective.

I'm guessing the colorblind thing would matter a lot more if the devs did indeed choose this system because of it.
