Hey, I love the VISR Bungie, just wondering if there's any chance of you tossing in a color blind mode? Right now it's basically impossible to make out who's outlined in red and who's in green for those of us of the red/green color blind persuasion.

I don't think Bungie is going to make a whole new color screen for colorblind people, no offense.

I'm just asking about things outlined by the VISR, not the entire color pallet

Two movies you should watch: Fight Club and Pineapple Express

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

Maybe they could have it as and options switch in the main menu but I don't think it will happen but who knows?.

even if one is red/green color blind. each character has a glowing outline, pretty sure the shape differences of brutes, jackals, grunts, drones, hunters, and marines are to the point where they cant be mistaken

Can't you just wear glasses?

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

Mabye, but IDK. I was kinda hoping it would be like Fallout 3 with the pip-boys where you can choose the color of your HUD. while I wish thats the way it was, im fine with how it is now.
I realize that didn't really answer your question, that was just my opinion on the HUD.

He's COLORBLIND, he never said that his vision is blurry. Some people can't be over 8 years old on this forum

This is actually a very reasonable request that I could see them doing.
Just make sure someone from Bungie sees it.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

It's amazing how much games of yesteryear incorporated that no longer is or how simple things can be completely overlooked without having the same problem yourself. I remember a guy asking if a visual indicator could be added because he's deaf and cannot hear the Missile Pod lock on sound.

Still, it should be fairly easy to tell what is outlined. Brutes are obviously extremely larger than ODSTs but I understand the problems you may encounter.

Ya it used to be an option in a lot of games, and still is in a few, don't know what happened. I'm hoping based on the missle pod story that they'll find a simple way to take care of this too.

It'd be pretty easy to define just going by shapes.

A grunt is going to look a hell of a lot different than a marine.

the VISR is just an extension for the night gameplay to make it easier to see where all enemys are incase there in shadows making planning easier

I am going to lube your butt hole with nacho cheese and -blam!- you with a crowbar.

Make it pretty in pink.

That's one of the reasons why if you're using bungie.net polls to collect any kind of real data, you're completely insane.

Grunt, Jackal, Brute, or other covenant unit is an enemy.

ODST and marines are allies.


It really doesn't need a color coded system...

It's a dark and gloomy game and if everyone gets some help provided then I think it's safe to say if your colour blind than you might need some help defining them.

It's not to big of an ask for bungie to do it so don't be so inconsiderate.

I'm not being inconsiderate but it is so simple to tell the difference between a hulking brute or a puny grunt and an ODST or marine.

The red/green mode is just to help (and is completely optional of use) and most people won't even need it past the first play-through.
