I prefer to play as blue over red. Blue is just more visually appealing.
When you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose.

It was like this in Halo3, for some reason, Red always had better spawning locations, that's why you see it's oftent he highest seeded team that is Red, giving them a greater opportunity to win.
I saw the angel within the marble, and I carved until it was free.

False. For example on Guardian, where elbow is the obvious superior spawn, I have spawned on elbow as both red and blue on a variety of occasions. The same is true for any map with spawn imbalance. Saying that one colour always spawns on one side is ridiculous and untrue.

We chose red specifically for our soccer team because of this. It made our opponents fear us a lot more.

Using Team Fortress 2 as an example is retarded, unless they're doing 100% balanced control point and CTF maps. On Payload and A&D maps, red has the defender's advantage, plus those maps aren't symmetrical.

It makes sense when competitions give the team with the highest seed Red.

I've never really noticed a difference when playing team fortress 2 by being on red vs blue but I've always loved defense more than offense in TF2 on payload maps.

Scroll down to the bottom to see team winning stats per map. Over enormous sample sizes, there's definitely a red bias in mirrored maps.


Arenas (Mirrored maps):
Badlands: blue's winning
Granary: red's winning
Lumberyard: blue's winning
Ravine: tie
Well: blue's winning

I would however agree that on 5 point CPs red appears to win more
Including mirrored only:

Badlands: red appears to win slightly
Fastlane: red wins slightly
Granary: red wins by a significant margin
Well: red wins slightly

2fort I'm surprised by it not being even. My guess would be that red snipers are harder to spot than blue snipers?

Weird to see though.

Most arena servers you are put on random team, some let you pick. On all the other maps you select team color when you join and have way more team stacking.

Interesting, no, that arena has closer to even, and blue winning slightly.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

The title of the article should be "Red teams win more than blue in Unreal Tournament 2004", not in online video games in general.

If they want to generalize to several online video games, they have to conduct the study in at least more than one video game.


There's other studies that link it to real life as well. One of them was a study of combat sports in the 04 olympics and in combat sports where protective equipment colour is randomly assigned red actually wins a small but statisically greater amount.

On a related note, in world of warcraft, horde has a slight (note the word slight) winning advantage over alliance in every battleground but 1. As you might know, horde is red, alliance is blue.

just throwing it out here...

Has probably more to do with the "mighty human heroes" vs "villains" theme.
Blue and Red are not really present in PvP and PvE fights.

This is also pretty old news that red increases your success. I remember watching a document couple of years ago about this and they suggested you to wear red shirt for exams. ^^

E: PROTIP: Buy red screen so theres always a little bit red for you when you play (the edges of monitor).
as useful as teasalt

In MLG isn't the higher rated player (or better player, however the measure it) set to Red?
