Modern Warfare 3 to include a “Color Blind Assist” feature

8 July 2011

Michael Condrey, vice president of new Call of Duty dev-squad Sledgehammer Games, has announced that Modern Warfare 3 will be deploying with a “Color Blind Assist” (Americanese for “Colour Blind Assist) feature for colour-blind gamers.

“Research suggests that as much as 6% of the general population suffers from Color Blindness, or more accurately Color Vision Deficiency. Men (9-12%) are 20x more likely to be afflicted than women (0.25-1%),” he writes over on the Sledgehammer blog.

“Those numbers vary depending on which source you quote, but we estimate that nearly a million gamers are playing Call of Duty every day with this issue. I am happy to report that we are working on a Color Blind Assist option for Modern Warfare 3. So start honing your MP skills, Nick. You won’t be able blame your red-green deficiency for all that friendly-fire come November 8th.”

Nope, you’ll just have to fall back on lag, wall hacks, and ****ing noob tubes instead.
