Why does nobody play 2MorForever? - Page 2

Personally I try to avoid this map because of the green - red theme. I'm colourblind and it's really hard to distinguish opponents from teammates.

Mappers should take into account that about 7 to 10% of all males has a form of green/red colour deficiency.

Is it really that high? Define a "form". I mean naturally everyone's eyes are slightly different in how well they discern color, but at what point do you say your ability to discern color is deficient?

I happen to enjoy the utilization colors other than just red and blue in some maps, but I do understand your dilemma. How are you with yellow vs green?

If I'm not mistaken yellow/green doesn't pose a problem. Blue/Yellow might be a problem for some people though, but this kind of colourblindness is less common than the green/red variaty.

This page explains it a lot better than I can.

Much appreciated

Sorry for taking an arm here, but is Monkey being looked at as well then?

We'd like to; it depends on the mapper fixing it. Oh, and I chuckled at your red/green avatar

I have a problem in blue tints... it's not significant but bugs the hell out of me sometimes...

Anyway 2MorForever crashes on load when I try to play... I can play all other maps with very decent FPS w/o crashes (well almost, but mostly it's my vista fecking up...)

I love the irony

I can imagine many people like myself avoid maps like monkey and 2MorForever, as green vs red teams can be very troublesome for us colorblind people, especially since the red and green colors in FF are not very bright/high contrast etc. I know there's icons etc, but it's still very confusing not knowing for certain if your teammate is entering the room, or an enemy.

With that said, I think it could easily be avoided by altering the colors in some way, perhaps brighter and stronger colors.
