Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 gets colour blind option
Michael Condrey, vice-president and COO of Sledgehammer Gamers, said they are working on developing an option to help colour blind gamers play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
When asked by a colour blind fan of the series if the game would have this option, Condrey confirmed it, saying 1m colour blind gamers play this game each day.
“Research suggests that as much as 6pc of the general population suffers from colour blindness, or more accurately colour vision deficiency,” said Condrey.
“Men (9-12pc) are 20 times more likely to be afflicted than women (0.25-1pc),” he said.
