I think an easy thing to do would be to just make one dot a lot brighter than the other.

I don't think that they really need to change the radar because if you see any dot on the radar, then you can look at where the ally or the enemy is and if you don't see an icon then you would know that there's an enemy. If you do see an icon, then you would know that the dot on your radar represented an ally and then you wouldn't shoot at that player.

I don't see why people have to be so cold hearted when someone has a disability. I have a hard time distinguishing red and orange markers on a white board (Probably because they're so bright), but the radar has thrown me off a lot. I'll see so many red dots come close together that it looks like one big blob O_O. To the thread maker: If you can, see which direction the dot is comming from and look in that direction on your screen, zoom in if you can and watch for a body to appear. I learned to use that kind of method while playing, it's kinda useful. Whoever mentioned the triangles and circles had a good idea, symbols are easy to work with ^_^

How is making fun of someone who is color blind racist? Making fun of someone with a disability is pretty stupid, but taking it this serious when its only color blindness is pretty stupid. Everyone needs to chill out.

But sence halo's all tech'ed out, how about a radar not only on screen, but why cant their be a type of sound that comes through the head set. nothing anoying or load, but something, left or right side. not sure how u can do compleat sorround but idea? idk.

Take GRAW for example, if you go to the options menu you can select a color-blind friendly HUD. They could easily do a similar thing for Halo 3.

I have the mind of a ten year old in a sixteen year old body.... I'm a supermodel!!!

I am not one to complain, but a symbol version of the radar would be nice. Even if they only made it an option it would be great for the few of us that are completely colour blind. All the dots look greyish, very hard to tell the difference because the shades are so close.

Being colour-blind is a disability you moronic dicks. Jeez, some of you need to be put in the remedial class.

If you think it's funny that someone's colour blind, or mock someone for it, you're complete and utter scum. Period. You're the kind of person who this world would be better off without.

For those that don't know, there are many forms of colour blindness, but red-green colour blindness (in which red and green apparently look the same as what we'd call yellow) is by far the most common.

Monocromatic (I.E. black and white) vision is very rare, but it does exist.

There are also varying degrees of colour-blindness, and there's also another rare one which means that blue light cannot be detected.

A color-blind rader would definately help. It could just be an option that can be turned off or on, like it is in Battlefield: Modern Combat.

*Sigh* Logan, stop insulting the color blind people, they did nothing to you, and they deserve to be treated as normal people.

Alright, bungie can't make a color blind radar because people who are color blind have different cases of it.
For example, completeley color blind people are people who can't see any colour, so they can't realy tell anything apart for anything.
Now, they're are the semi-color blind, who are people with slight colorblindness, like people who... say instead of seeing the colour dark green see grey.
Than they're are the people who are in the midle, people who can't tell sertain colours, like you can't see red, yellow, or blue properly, you see them as in with no colour, but some people are different, some people have colour blindess where they can't see green and yellow, some people can't see red and purple, so its impossible for bungie to make a colourblind friendly radar, but colorblind people also deserve a normal life... its sad, realy.
