Any chance we could get a toggle for colorblind adjustment like BFBC2 and other modern games in the next patch?

How colour blind are you as all I can read of the lovely testing book is the first 2 pages and the last 3 of the book so if you are worst then me as I seem to be able to see some what ok.

what are you on? in English please?

anyhow - yes i agree BFBC2 has that option and from what i heard it has helped a great deal of gamers - i myself am not colorblind - but i think that everyone deserves an equal chance to play this game.

Yup... i've a friend whose also colourblind which would be interested in this game. Poor bastards.

I can't see red very well. I am told that a lot of aiming at distance is on the red enemy name, not the player. Then folks shoot at the name. I don't like the name feature to begin with, but that is not the heart of my issue here. If the names are going to show up in the reticle, at least make it so that color blind folks have some alternative color options to choose from. Most color blind folks have challenges with red and green like myself.

With the bloom and general default game colors, I pretty much have to see players move to locate them. It's been tough. Once a fire fight begins, the dust and debris totally blind me. My fellow clan members tell me that in gunfights they often lock onto the red name which is present thru the muzzle flash, dust, etc. I simply can't see the red name and that seems unfair. I could see it if it was say... blue, or yellow etc. Red is one of the worst options for me.

A toggle for different color options on the enemy name would go a long way toward a more level playing field for me and others in my situation. I can tweak my monitor colors radically and get the names to show, but then the rest of the game is neon green and pink... which is repulsive to the average person. lol.

As an example, BFBC2 toggles to blue and bright greenish yellow options for player markers and names instead of the default colors. It is not perfect, but it sure helps.

Agreed. Probably not going to happen, but I wish it would.

CryTom... any chance you could look into this request?

At last, I am not feeling alone on the color blind department anymore...
My colorblind issues comes mainly from any dimmed, "pastels" (dunno if that's the word in english) and anything that isn't contrasted enough. My main issue is that the graphic effects feel overdoing their purpose, mixed up with the colorblindness and you're on for a ride of pain. People can even pop into cloack in front of me (which is the worst idea to do) and I just lose sight of them, just like that. To where cloacking isn't invisibility, the latter case is actually my everyday problem.

After finding out a couple of the graphic options white listed I modified those values and it feels much better now. The contrasts are higher, sharper. Cloacking, coupled with dust and some of this blinding light effects from sun etc even at close combat are still a problem (as I think from what I see of other players on kill cam seem to see me no problem in those situations).

But it got a lot better since I was able to change those values. I feel a lot less like a clueless guy running/hiding around trying to figure out what's going on all over the place.

Well scopes have red crosshair, also when you aim at someone with scope for example then his tag will appear above his head, it actually help when player is cloaked because even in cloak his tag will show, same with aiming at people in great distance. But tbh it's not like color is important but fact that you can see his nick if you aim at enemy o.O

I would prefer no names at all in the reticle. That would level the playing field and add to realism. After all, why should you be able to hover your reticle over a bush and see a name when you cant see the player?

But, at the very least, let me pick blue lasers and names... at least I could see them more often then the red which is totally invisible to me in most maps.

Because this is a game, and you are wearing billion dollar superduper nanosuite with even more uberduper computer inside. If you want realism go to army and ask them to send your ass to Iraq =)

Isn't color blind mode in BFBC2 just for radar (more diference between allies and enemies triangles)? I am color blind too and it was the only change i saw when i turned it on.
BTW: I can bet they won't make this feature in near future, they didn't even fix flickering problem yet.

In BFBC2, in addtion to the radar, the colorblind toggle also changes the color of the triangles over enemy and friendlies in game (3d marking, I think that is what they call it) So when you "tag" an enemy the color of the enemy triangle is a color that is colorblind friendly.

@WarDice... good point, but as I stated earlier, the red enemy name isn't visible to me in most game conditions. It is to you. Does that seem fair?

I think because it is not the "real world" surely a colorblind toggle is possible and appropriate. If a color toggle option is not going to happen, then I would be in favor of removing the "name" feature entirely. That would be fair for the estimated 12% of the population that is colorblind and is disadvantaged in every gun battle.

After all, as you aptly stated... we both own the same "billion dollar superduper nanosuite with even more uberduper computer inside" yet it can't switch to colorblind mode for the colorblind soldier?
