It may not be a big deal to the average Call of Duty player, but if you belong to that section of the gaming populace that suffers from color vision deficiencies, Sledgehammer Games has some good news for you. The Activision-owned studio has confirmed that a Color Blind Assist option is being developed for inclusion in Modern Warfare 3.

 

Responding to a fan's question regarding the inclusion of such an option in the upcoming first-person shooter, Sledgehammer VP and COO Michael Condrey said:

 

"Research suggests that as much as 6% of the general population suffers from Color Blindness, or more accurately Color Vision Deficiency. Men (9-12%) are 20x more likely to be afflicted than women (0.25-1%). Those numbers vary depending on which source you quote, but we estimate that nearly a million gamers are playing Call of Duty every day with this issue. I am happy to report that we are working on a Color Blind Assist option for Modern Warfare 3."

 

The Color Blind Assist option is just one of the features confirmed for inclusion in Modern Warfare 3. Infinity Ward has said before that quick scoping might make a comeback as well.

This is good news, a couple of my friends have problems with colours. It certainly can't hurt to do it.

That's actually very good news, but i know Activision won't need it because they only capable of seeing the colour of money.

What ? The people have problems with colours do not deserve to play this VIOLENCE and HATRED game. They do not deserve it at all. This game is killing, murdering, and war is serious and horrible things to do.
