Colorblind Ping in “Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2″

 See the boat in this picture?   I sure as hell don’t….just a shit ton of dots.

“Red? Green? Good guy? Bad guy…? — DAMNIT!!!”

Infinity Ward’s newest release in their extremely popular Call of Duty series, “Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2” has some gamers, especially me, up in arms over the color of the nameplates in team matches.  An estimated one in 12 men has some form of inherited color blindness with red/green being the most common.  Can you take a stab at what the color of the team nameplates are in the game?  Red and green….Fail.  I cannot tell you how many times I have been ROFLstomped just because I didn’t know if that guy over there with the shotgun was on my team or not.  Just think, eight percent of all male Call of Duty players go through the same punishment every single game.  Good job IW.
