Default How come on alot of videos of people playing

do they have colour blind assist on?
One of those myth videos says it showed stealth bombers coming in but i dont think this is the reason for alot of people to have it on
Im just wondering if there is an advantage to it other than that?

Well I personally think everything is easier to see with color blind assist on, and by that I mean the color of text/other is more pleasing to the eye. As for an actual ADVANTAGE, there isn't one other than as you said being able to see the location/vector of enemy stealth bombers.

I am red/green colorblind and I thought the colorblind assist was more confusing. Maybe it's because I only kept it on for a minute, and am not used to it. I've grown used to having to "compensate" through all the older non-assist games lol. I should try it again, because it makes chopper gunners almost impossible for me (darn red squares!) :P

Yeah I'd give it another try. It certainly did take some getting used to, but I like the light-blue 'friendlies' color and the orange enemy a LOT more than red/green.

That helps to know which color = what. haha. I was confused at first, and in the frantic nature that is cod, I didn't want to take the time to figure it out in the middle of a match I will give it another go in a PM online.

The blue is much better for me to see. Plus it gives away the position of enemy stealth bombers.

The light-blue is much easier on my eyes and it seems to stand out more on the mini-map.

The game is easier on the eye with Colour Blind Assit on. It's also easier to spot enemies whilst playing on Survival. I think the orange makes the enemy dots stand out easier. Other than the Stealth Bomber point there isn't praticularly any advantadge.

That's why I play with it on. And I just like the blue and orange as opposed to green and red.

I use it strictly for seeing stealth bombers. I probably wouldn't be able to go back to default.
