What's up with the CTF colors? Why are they Green and Orange? WTF? Why not Red and Blue like before? Red and Blue stood out, you knew who your enemy was. Now I have to squint to see if the guy coming at me is an good guy or bad guy. I suppose I could get used to it, but why change it?

Green marines and ... Orange strogg

I think its just lazyness TBH, they dont have to make new team skins this way.

Oh, is that what it was? I wonder how much of a pain in the ass it would be to change the maps and re-skin the players?

Change the maps? for the most part its just change the colour of the flares... But its not that simple.

damn, oh well I guess I'm just going to have to get used to it.

Love the Green and Orange.. out with the old, in with the new.
Vanity fair says green and orange is back in fashion... you guys aint following fashion? :icon6:

Green and orange suck balls for me. I can't differentiate between them easily enough. Daltonism, innit. You know those colour spot tests where you're supposed to see a number in the green/orange dots? I can't see them. I can't tell the difference between friend or foe in team Q4 either, unless I can see the little icon above their head. If they're carrying a flag, forget it because the flag obscures a view of the icon, so I just shoot away. Fine when the server doesn't have team damage on, but not so good when it does...

Team colours are dire and need to change ASAP. For the love of god, give me Threewave CTF %l.

Why what colour would you like them?

that's better

pink? ewww!

At least you can see him

this is true

This is pretty much what I'm after:

OMFG BRIGHTSKINS RICO YOU CHEATOR!!11!121!24322. j00 want big spikes sticking out of him too ? [/q2 flashback]

Yeah certainly would be nice to able to see what we're supposed to be aiming at, OSP type colouring would be ideal (head/torse/legs/weapon effects)

You mean promode skins with the RHSL (rail head shirt legs) format (which OSP uses).

I honestly think green and orange would work fine if they were just brighter colors. The color is only on parts of the armor, and the color that is there is so dark, flat and dingy that you can't tell until someone is close to you without zooming.

But it's no problem at all to tell the difference between the two bases by color, because the flares are a lot brighter. If the teams' armor was that bright (not illuminating obviously, but the same shade/intensity), then I don't think it would be nearly as big a problem.

You're about 7 years too late, mate! =)

lol that's fucked up

I tell ya, I get a laugh out of these "competitive" people who are against cheating but want bright skins! Give me a freakin' break!

Anyway, I think the change up of green and orange is fine, but as was mentioned, I think the colors should stand out a little more (but not full brights).

There's only the colour blindness issue with orange and green, which Raven could/should have known imho.
