Link at the bottom.

so How do you guys feel about that statement. Is there a way to confirm this for Hawken? should I then change my  Hud to make enemy's Blue and my team red? and also change my Mech Color to Red? worth a shot for a extra % chance to win.

 

 

Thanks Game theory

I use "hot" colors for enemies, because I want it to grab my attention.

 

My team captain keeps a blue for enemies and "hot" color for team, and he tags every enemy, like a bott

I mean, it's been scientifically proven that red things go faster so why not?

In all seriousness it could be fun. I remember for a time I changed my CRT to the BSOD chassi. I then made all my hud and radar colors blue and removed my reticle. It was pretty fun.

Generally, I set my enemies as bright red and my team as bright green. Neutral is yellow. If you tend to use a certain reticle set up with all your mechs, it might be best to keep it that way even if it adds little to no utility. After playing with a reticle for 500+ hours I find I still do better with my old set up than one that shows weapon spread for instance. Just food for thought

Get some aim and PLAY WITH YER TEAM, don't use them to protect you.

i dont think this applies. This isn't red vs blue, this is Sentium vs Prosk.

that is True but the number's behind it are pretty compelling.

Excellent advice. I do my best to use the radar and couple that with predicting where my target is going to show up.

Adjust your monitor's colors so that it doesn't show the color red at all.

Wasn't there a 'Hawken HARD MODE' some time ago? Putting all the HUD colors on dark grey.

and disable hud :D

Sam as Flifang but reversed. Bright red for hud and friendlies, bright green for targets., though I wish I could make my map green instead of red.

I would hate to have you as my "Representative God" Kopra.

 

Edit: I would contemplate on killing myself before you gave me the "Answer and a FKING jingle".

So that's why there used to be a rumor going around that the red team at the local Lazer Kraze was rigged to win all the time...

 

Hm, this might affect things in Hawken, seeing as there are hud colors and such that pretty much highlights mechs. Also, just so that it's out there, the way the Prosk and Sentium logos are designed suggest that Prosk is the 'red team' while Sentium is the 'blue team', but I know that I don't really pay attention to whether my team is Sentium or Prosk, just that it's light blue (default colors). The only way to find out for sure is to actually gather data though, since Hawken's team color system is a little different than most FPS games.

There is a lot of dubious supposition and extrapolation in that video which is more to entertain than scientifically inform.  But if we feel that needs to be handled or weeded out to ensure there is no 'colour bias'?

 

Just set it so that you always see your team in colour A while the other team is colour B.  

 

Done, mystery solved.  You always see your team as Blue and the other team as red, regardless of which team your are on (no 'Blue team' and 'Red team', only 'Allied Team' and 'Enemy Team').  Tada, problem solved.

 

I'm going to read up on the points and comments he's drawing from in his video.  It's interesting enough stuff as food for thought but I don't find it especially compelling without a whole lot of corroboration and it is, fortunately, very easy to marginalize to meaningless in virtual environments.

Welcome to Game Theory. Yes, the guy should get some props for doing research in his videos, but his stuff is meant to be more entertaining.

 

Or not, like when he caused a lot of butthurt (like, so much butthurt) when he had 2 videos proving that Mario was a sociopath.

I think the point is to paint all your mechs blue because when others see it...well they would be caaaaaaaaaalm. :D

 

Or set your HUD to Red or Blue...that too...

Indeed, he watches very similarly to Extra Credits in that he's trying ot make a point while being entertaining.  To be clear, I have no issue with that.  I just do enough in academic circles to at least feel a teeny big obligated to preach the 'trust, but verify' line of thinking. :)
