Petition. Ha ha, what a joke. Let’s mock it. Those first three sentences were me being satirical.

A petition and Facebook group have been formed to help raise awareness of the troubles red/green colour blind people are having with MW2. The trouble comes with the fact enemies are shown as red and team mates are green on the radar and when named making it near impossible to tell them apart until it’s too late.

Whilst many take the assumption that people with special needs simply shouldn’t bother playing video games, this discrimination takes a slightly more annoying form as the series’ previous title, World at War, had options to allow the colours to be changed. The group also points out that Ghost Recon has options to change the colours between  red/green and red/blue.

It’s a very simple fix, and one that really should have been in the game to start with. Sadly with the interest IW have shown to people asking for help, and with the on-going troubles the multiplayer portion of the game seems to be having, I can’t see this being addressed any time soon.
