User blog:Bovell/Color blind assist option for Modern Warfare 3. Killstreak system reworked.

Yesterday, Michael Condrey from Sledgehammer Games confirmed that Modern Warfare 3 would be getting a color blind assist option.

Many Call of Duty games use the same color scheme for distinguishing multiplayer themes: Green is denoted as friendly players, killstreaks, and equipment, while red is used to represent those of the enemy. Unfortunately, this makes it difficult for people who have red-green color blindness, as it is hard for them to differentiate between the two colors.

Condrey estimated that more than a million Call of Duty gamers have red-green color blindness (the most common of all forms of color blindness) have to deal with this issue, and proceeded to affirm that Modern Warfare 3 will have a color blind assist option as a solution.

Robert Bowling over Twitter last Tuesday let the world in on another multiplayer tidbit, and a seemingly major one at that.

In reply to a tweet asking him about Modern Warfare 3 killstreaks, Bowling declared:

"We changed the entire way the killstreak system works. I can't go into detail yet, but I will share when I can."

No further information on the reworking of killstreaks was given.
