1.) Install manually, if you're used to any mods in SC2 you likely already have an MPQ editor and it's a straightforward process without some of the snags that the auto-intaller has (but it is very nice that there is an option for it :D) 2.) The colors are more appreciable the higher your graphics settings (streamed a bit, so I set my graphics settings lower for better performance but the colors didn't pop like they do on high/ultra settings), which is understandable 3.) It has been mentioned before, but some units could use a few touching up (I only notice the ghost, but some say Immortal and DT as well), simply because the mod is so stellar in making the other units have their own "glow" the few that don't seem to fade in the background. All in all, I am very happy with this mod, it makes playing seem a little more fresh (it's only a cosmetic change, but I do enjoy it), and spectating remarkably more enjoyable (I actually managed to draw a crowd of about 5 in my apartment wanting to see me ladder, quite flattering really). Fantastic work, I certainly look forward to the HotS version when that comes out! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some laddering to do (in fantastic STC-o-vision!). | ||

Zerg buildings look terrible and disgusting, Zerglings became super-colored bugs, banelings are too golwy, etc. It actually makes it harder to dinguish units from themselves, really. You can't count how many banelings a player have. All you know is that he has a ball of glowy stuff. | ||

Poll: Should MLG use the color mod for tournaments? Yes (135) No (132) 267 total votes Your vote: Should MLG use the color mod for tournaments? I was recently at a SC2/Lol event in Pomona. When SC2 was played, I heard the Lol fans talking about watching SC2. There were complaints about it being boring in the beginning, and about not really getting what's going on(makes sense if you don't play or watch). But one complaint I heard was how weak the colors were, and it wasn't even a mirror match. It simply wasn't easy on the eyes for new viewers to say purple is attacking blue because the colors seem very weak. Now, I also think they could have turned off more of the lights to make the video a bit less faded, and playing on a dark map doesn't help, but I'm convinced that my mod would have helped a lot in keeping track of things, especially for new viewers. | ||

Or they can just be blue/red? | ||

True, that those colors might be better than blue vs purple for most people, but being limited to certain colors kinda sucks. Obviously picking blue vs light blue isn't smart, but purple vs blue should work. Forcing players to always pick red and blue makes the game a bit more stale when it doesn't need to be that way. About banelings being too strong, I'll definitely look at toning it down for HOTS when beta kicks in. The opinions i got when i made them were that the brighter the better for banelings, since mirror matches in ZvZ could get really frustrating, but now that time has passed it might very well be too much. | ||
