I came across this today.
It's a petition for a patch to MW2 putting in a colour blind option.
Currently, the only way to tell the teams apart is by a coloured name above someone's head. Green for friendly, red for enemy. 9% of males are red-green colour blind, so you can see how this may be a problem.
I'm not colour blind myself but one of good friends is.

Sign it anyway and make that 9% of the population enjoy a great game! :D

I think it'd be better for them to return the game, demand a refund, and buy a better game.

Like TF2.

But srsly, I'm not color blind at all, and I support this petition.

Gah I can't make it out Pseudo.

I'm colour blind, not sure about color blind thought.

EDIT: TF2 has a colour blind mode, as does L4D/2

I tend to have colorblind mode switched on in most competative games anyway. I find that it speeds up my reaction time when I don't have to process the slight differences.

I'm not supposed to see anything, and I can't make out any of the 6 plates, except the 25 one, which is as clear as day.

Though I don't have red-green, I have trouble distinguishing blue-purple-light pink, and yellow-light green.

Aren't mods supposed to set a good example by not being jackasses?

Mods are people too!

There are a few of the staff who need to watch what they say so that not to give us a bad image...

Return the game and get a real fps like q3a or ravenshield.. days before "modern day FPS" had rechargeable shields and the ability to sniper with a m60, spam nades and dolphin dive. lawlz-kills lawlz-kills...
