Subject: Does Team Color Matter?

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

I don't know if this is true, but I feel certain maps give either red or blue team a "color advantage".

For example, blue team almost always does well on Zealot because they blend in with the walls. Red team tends to do better on Reflection for the same reason.

Has anybody else noticed "color advantage" on some maps, or is it just me?

^ yup. On most non-symmetrical maps (Sword Base, The Cage / Uncaged, Pinnacle and that other one I forgot to mention)

Red spawn seems to get the better power weapons to be on their side.

Red Team Reflection, Sword Base, and Uncaged are ridiculous. They spawn with map control and all the power weapons.

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

In even games studies have shown that Red team wins more often.

I played SWAT magnums on Zealot the other day. Two guys on my team went negative (we were red) because two blue team members stood in front of blue walls the whole game and couldn't be seen until the fired.

Certain maps gives a team advantage over another, it has nothing to do with the colors blending in but the spawns and layout of that colors side.

It might be just you for the blending in thing.

Uncaged is balanced because the Blue team gets to respawn inside their map control.

Red team is favoured more on asymmetrical maps...

Then you guys are just blind.

But yes, Red Team almost always has better spawns.

On symmetrical maps like zealot and countdown(MLG of course) one side does have one of the smallest advantages for color blending and even what side you spawn on because how guns take up view on your right side only.

Color does not matter, kill people for what is on the inside. It's not a betrayal if it is the right thing to do.
