EPTOverall the models need more team colors imo. Compare a marine to a marauder. The marine is mostly colored by the team color it belongs too ... but the marauder is mostly black/gray.
Coloring is so borked in SC2 - Page 2

I shouldn't have to play on low graphics settings just to tell what units are mine. Luckily I play terran and it usually isn't that big of an issue for terran. Marauders can be a bit of a pain sometimes, but the other units are generally pretty clear. Overall the models need more team colors imo. Compare a marine to a marauder.

 but then i realized that the group of 4 zealots near the ramp were slightly different colouring... The reason why it worked so well in BW though was that the team colours had such a contrast. Since all of the colours are darker in SC2, it becomes a harder to distinguish. Also, I wish that people would stop being such asses and just concede facts when they are pointed out. Instead people jump all over these posts and say, "Stop complaining! Your opinions don't matter... blah blah blah." The fact is, the colours ARE harder to distinguish. If you don't agree, then attack the statement, not the person... | ||

And I must agree with the original post, this is really, really hard to say who's who and it really is a huge and major concern to me. I also watched some replays, and as far as I am concerned, it's not as clearer as it was in SC:BW, especially if you're to watch a zvz. Oh, and by the way, do not even try watching 2v2, it's just wrong. | ||

Man, those types of replies are annoying... It seems like a pretty complicated fix really. I mean, they probably understand the problem but are trying to find ways to fix it. Better just add a complaint on the b.net forums than rant off here for a couple minutes when full time paid programmers/artists/designers have probably contemplated the coloring issues for weeks if not months. The whiner side is also just as annoying, you just put a polar spin on them. From what I can see, it's often something like "Oh my god, blizzard has killed starcraft 2 and here's why... blah blah blah" so they're not much better than the responses. | ||

Well the whole point of beta is to find issues and for them to fix them if Coloring is an issue and people notice it, then they will complain about it. It's simple as that :D... The only thing we can do is complain and wait for official reply if its being addressed :p | ||

I say, if you have a complaint, then propose a solution. Anyway, I do agree that the sides are hard to make out. My original post was really about the b.net forum that the OP linked to. The responses are generally that either there is no problem IF you have a great computer, there is no problem if YOU are the one playing or that the colour contrasts so well, that if you can't tell the difference, you must be blind... | ||
