I Wanna Be on the Red Team…
In today’s multiplayer games the team colors are usually between red and blue. Why red and blue vs. any other colors, I don’t know. I’m not sure anyone really knows other than the extremely nerdy. A study done using the game Unreal Tournament (a game that has red vs. blue teams) has shown that out of 1,347 team matches, red won 55% of the time. The scientists that conducted the study think it’s because of a negative human reaction to seeing red, thus the blue team has an unfair disadvantage.
While it probably doesn’t really mean anything in the long run, it is interesting trivia. Personally, I prefer being red because it’s a darker color that I think tend blends in better with most maps, but I’m not a fancy scientist wasting everyone’s time working on video game statistics.
