When attacking the opponent, you can specify to your teammates the opponent you want to attack via the target indicator icon, but it's just convenient if you can stay on the same colors as your teammate and announce the color of the opponent you want to attack. When beta goes up to 4vs4 matches, you will probably have a teammate that types out, "lets attack blue." But if everybody else on the team has alt + f the opponent colors, "blue" could mean a different opponent for everybody on the team. This was not an issue in SC1 because in typical 2vs2, 3vs3, and 4vs4 matches, you could simply announce the color of which opponent to attack and almost all the time, your teammates had the same opponent colors as you did. Poor coloring is just another inconvenience when playing SC2. | ||

More BW feel, and much clearer and easier to distinguish stuff I don't have to play on the lowest settings for Company of Heroes, or other modern RTS games where the developer handled colors properly. Funny that people say SC2 will be the game of the next 10 years but in terms of coloring, it's so bad that people have to tune down the settings just for SC2 whereas in other modern RTS games, they don't. | ||

Marauder: change grey shoulders to player color Hellion: Paint more of the body to player color siege tank: paint more of the body to player color Viking: paint more of the body to player color Medivac: paint more of the body to player color Banshee: paint more of the body to player color Battle Cruiser: paint more of the body to player color Zergling: paint entire body to player color except wings and claws (like sc1) Baneling: paint webbing between pulsating green to player color, paint body player color Overseer: paint more of the body to player color (not so much innate purple/blue) Roach: paint more of the body to player color (not so much innate grey) Ultralisk: paint more of the TOP to player color (since the ultra's head is so huge) Brood Lord: paint more of the body to player color etc etc Essentially, we need less "innate" coloring on the units.. meaning, the generic grey on Marauders and Roaches that come with all players. I believe this is Blizzard's attempt at making them look "grittier" but you don't need to keep using greys to make things look gritty. Use mostly player colors for the majority of the body of these units, but make those player colors darker. For example, zerg zerglings ENTIRE skin was the color of the player in SC1, and this didn't make them look silly. They still looked gritty, and can continue to look so in Sc2. | ||

I think blizzard tried to trade off color visibility with looking retardedness... Unless you want to take away my pink color option, in which case, sir, I vehemently protest! | ||

Blizzard obviously want's a pretty game, it is doubtful they will change the coloring too much. | ||

You think SC2 has clarity issues and go on to mention Company of Heroes. What a laugh. | ||

I'm fairly sure 2v2 will see much more competition than it did in sc1...well, not hard to beat you'll say, but I've found 2v2 to be a lot more fun to play so far and judging by the number of divisions in 2v2 vs 1v1, I'm not the only one | ||

 Which is also where my Medium settings found these units to be very hard to distinguish from one another:http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8481/screenshotut.jpg It doesn't seem so bad now that I've played some games (2nd invite wave) but still could use a fix. But when visiting a buddy he had everything crancked out on Ultra settings and had connected his PC to his 40" Sony TV. I mean wow that looking stunningly good I think with great and crisp visuals! So either you have to go low settings or ultra on a reasonably sized monitor to have no visibility issues. | ||

The 2v2 teams leading my division are also top 10 in their respective 1v1 divisions (plat), but perhaps your definition of nubs/casuals is everyone below pro? Were the 2v2 matches in proleague (bw) for nubs too? | ||
