I find it really hard to distinguish between the flags on the mini map and often goto bases that we have already capped or goto what I think is a friendly base and get shot! lol
Are any of you colour blind and if so how are you finding distinguishing between the flags?
Also is there any way to edit the flags on the mini map to say red/blue or red/ yellow or something?
Dude!!! Me too. I thought it was my screen or the tint or some shit but now it makes perfect sense. I too am color blind and find myself sitting at a flag waiting for it to go down and LOL it's my own flag. It is frustrating.

I seem to have got used to it. Just concentrate on the top bars of the flag - one is orange, one is green. The bottom bars seem the same colour to me.

how do you read traffic lights, anyway?
red on top
yellow in middle
green on bottom
sometimes in cities they are sideways, so how would you know then?

here in the USA they just make u stick ur eye in a machine that projects numbers and letters that make it look far and you read them..... basically they want u to be able to read the road sign letters
if u get a lazy DMV person then they won't even care if you say it right or wrong

it's this thing...

it doesnt matter if you are colorblind for your license. millions of people are colorblind so there would be no way to stop them for getting a license because of it. anyways colors don't matter while driving.

For the "standard" driving license its no big deal, because traffic signs are designed to be distinguishable not only through color but also through position.
colorblindness becomes a factor if you want to become a cab or bus driver, because you take responsibility for people´s lifes. At least in Germany.
I´m colorblind too, according to the doctors I have a weakness for green and an actual blindness for red, but I can distinguish them pretty well.

I think everybody knows some color blind people and alone from this I know that there are a lot of variations of this weakness. My youngest son for example has no problem with the flags, but he is not able to differ between green and orange ping indicators in the server list.
