Anyone else colour blind?

Dymo

Is there a method of set up that can help colour blind people, the most commonest form of colour blindness is Brown and Red and it effects about 12 - 20 percent of the male population and 90% of MW2 games.

At the moment I can really only play Free for all, can’t make too many mistakes there but I’ve tried the team matches and it’s a disaster. Hopefully infinity ward will come out with some patch to fix this.

For anyone unsure if there colour blind or not try tests here

Yip same here... I usually just play FFA's for the same reason.. Can't go wrong just shoot everything that moves...:-)

In team deathmatches Favela map is ok because the other team either the brazilian guys or the soldiers.. I haven't played many team deathmatches but your team will have their names in green and the other won't have any names over their heads.. I think anyway.. but for me it's still not immediate to know should i shoot or not..

Still you would think it's something they would fix very easily.. but i suppose green is then main camouflage colour used for obvious reasons.. it would be a disadvantage to have people in white running around just for us colour blind people :-)

Would playing with friends help??? They will show up in blue if there in yoyur lobby first!

True... why they can't make just your team have blue names the whole time I don't know..

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully they'll come up with something.
There is a petition asking them good folks to make the game colorblind friendly, so you're obviously not alone in this...

I'm afraid I don't have this excuse. I don't play MW much, but in other -older- games I simply decided that there was an unappealable penalty for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Don't walk in front of my bullets and I won't shoot you. So there.

(That only works offline though . I wouldn't try that online...)

Because then tehy would have to choose a different colour for Friends and that would be a big mess

:-) maybe at the start of a team death match I'll announce 'hey guys I'm colourblind so get the fcuk out of my way'

I am colour-blind but I just use the radar/map to know where my team-mates should be so if I hear someone sneaking up behind me but I see a green triangle beside mine, I know it's fine

PC, ps3, or xbox?

If it's PC, try f**king with your gamma settings?

I am partly colour blind....as in colours a lot alike I have a problem with and although I can tell base colours easily I think the Russian/US uniforms are too much alike in the heat of battle and would prefer they changed the levels characters on the maps they are on.

I am too and to this day I still don't understand how I am colorblind. It happened me in Call of Duty 4 for the first few games, I would just shoot at everyone. Being colorblind ruined any chances of getting the one job I actually wanted!

One thing about mw2 that i ave found from the start is sometimes its hard to see other players in the distance , when i see the kill cam i can clearly se that they saw me perfectly.

I am blind in one eye and my eye sight in my good eye isnt too good either.

oes anyont else have the same problem as me??, or s it put into the game purposly.

I'm normally just too slow, but I've the same problem with the colour blindness, and the test above I failed on all counts:(

FFA for me on MW2, interesting how they could overcome this, without giving a bigger advantage to other players..

No being an electrician for you!

My brother has the same colour blindness as the op, he isnt really a massive gamer though, but i never heard him complain about it.

im not colorblind but sometimes i just completely miss fairly visible people :P

On a lot of maps the outfits/scenery combine too much as it is, making it very difficult to spot people. i know I know, real armies wear camoflague, but it's a pain in the arse spotting people sitting around on maps such as Estate.
