My brother is partially color blind and can't see Red and Green. Sure it hinders his ability to play, but he's never complained about it and he still plays his favorite games despite it.
Gamer Petitions Infinity Ward for Color Blind Option in Modern Warfare 2

Only cheaters I've ever come across were the ones using the Javelin glitch, and people who cry about mouse vs controller are the ones who have never properly used both. I used to be blind to anything that wasn't PC related, then I actually bothered to properly use consoles, not spout the same untested misconceptions.
I wouldn't think a noble cause like this could possibly spark controversy and flaming. Its truly amazing.
But I hope that IW listens and implements something. I'm not colour-blind, but I don't see why people who are shouldn't have the right to enjoy the game just as much as everyone else. After all, we go out of our way to add closed-captioning to TV, and subtitles to movies. No reason we can't do some simple colour change option in games.

Its more like because the vast majority of PC gamers didn't get what they wanted so one super special person should.Knight Templar said:

But there's light blue and dark blue and light gay blue and dark gay blue...IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!Tdc2182 said:
mm you might want to read one of the other articles on the Escapist on the costs of games development and reconsider calling IW "greedy"DTWolfwood said:
(tho I can't say much in terms of Microsoft games studios haha)
but no, this petition is indeed reasonable and IMO worthy of taking time to sign and hope for something to come out of it =)
Think about it, you are saying one group should not get a function they ask for that would improve the game for everybody, because another group didn't get something that they demanded and would only have improved the game for them?matrix3509 said:
Shouldn't you be happy that some people are getting what they wanted, not demanding that if one person is unhappy they all should be?
If you insist on using this messed up logic and can't see how flawed it is then there's nothing to talk about here.
I agree with this idea.... and really, how hard would it be to allow people to select the colours for the markers.
Purple for friendlies, Pink for bad guys anyone?

How is a feature used to help color blind people going to improve the game for everybody? I'm going to venture a guess that the simple addition of what PC gamers were demanding would have resulted in a massive sales increase on the PC platform.Knight Templar said:
I would have supported a magic "make the game less shit" mode though. Its weird how equality only works one way on these forums huh?
I still fail to see how such a circle-jerk tear-fest for the guy in this thread makes any sense, but whatever.
O i've read it. it cost them about $50 million to make the game. which anyone not living under a rock the pass 2 years will know they will recoup day one. the other costs comes from Activision and their ridiculous $200mil advertising, which paid in spades. The fact it will at most cost them an extra mil or two to add proper support to one platform, which in hindsight they could have charged $60 still, and double if not triple their sales on that side. GREEDY is the proper term sir if not a bit juvenile.duchaked said:
That point aside, i can support this petition since i am red/green color blind. tho in this case it doesnt affect me, I don't own the game
Saying that without clarifying what the correct interpretation of your position is doesn't really help me out any. Your opinion appears to be:nilcypher said:
1. PC owners should stop complaining. They shouldn't buy the game if it's missing a particular feature, that will only encourage further games being produced without it.
2. Colourblind players should continue complaining. It is right that they should buy games that don't include features they require and then campaign for them to be fixed in patches later.
How come one group "legitimises their behaviour" while the other is a "good cause?" Either both are good causes or neither one is; both are minority groups demanding the addition of a feature that will benefit them and nobody else.
