It will probably be fine though if there are nameplates or some kind of HUD indicators for friendlies.. or i play TR but i doubt that will happen haha!

This is correct, I am also mildly colorblind. The red for TR is almost always the easiest to differentiate, but the NC-Blue and the VS-Purple can suck... The old PS1 maps played hell on me, luckily my daughter was there to tell me if we VS had a particualr tower, or if it was NC. The bases had big enough designs to see the emblem.

So, I like the green / friendly, plus square / diamond approach. Its pretty bullet proof, for me.

Even the PS2 maps are readable to me, now that my daughter corrected me, that the the "VS-Teal" is actually "NC-Aqua", and the "NC-Blue" is actually VS-Purple... LOL! I was able to get the nasty, horrid, disgustingly dirty orange for the TR on my own though

It confused me for a long time.

I would be fine with this, as a colorblind individual, as long as the square/diamond is there, and the NC/VS color is pronounced, perhaps with the emblem that some have suggested. I ussually IFF by shapes anyway, since it is much more reliable for me.

Could we have Green as the default and then have an Option to toggle Empire facility color to empire color for us "advanced" players?

All my bases are green all enemy bases are red, If wanna see who controls it I just open up my map gotcha sounds easy. O ya higby you might wanna tell the texture guys to just start painting all the TR bases completely red, there can be no other color!

Doesn't bother me too much if it goes like this:

• HUD: Green / Red / Yellow.
• World: TR Color / VS color / NC Color

This was actually meant for the Prone thread but I was a bit late however it can also be applied to this one:

Haha! I had a similar idea.

My closing comment on that pos thread was going to be:

And all this before we even have our first Jackhammer/MCG/Lasher-fest. Can't wait!

You're right. Symbols/emblems are superior over colors alone in nearly all cases.

A true TR would not instinctively think the color red = bad/enemy

I want little icons as the capture points. NC=Smurf TR=Elmo VS=Barney (we def get the worse of iconic association :'( )
