Go Red: Team Color May Affect Match Outcome
Want to win? Join the red team. You’ll be more likely to win, according to research published in CyberPsychology & Behavior.
In a scientific study done on Unreal Tournament 2004, a multiplayer FPS, researchers discovered that in this game, the red team had a slight advantage over blue. Taking the outcome of 1,347 matches from public servers worldwide while allowing players to freely choose between the colors, researchers recorded that the red team won 55% of the time. So, this would apply to Halo 3, Team Fortress 2, and other first-person shooters that use the blue and red color scheme as well.
