Indeed, that would be awesome.
I hope it is something in the battleroom where you can choose almost any color, not just extra mod-specific colors. Then there won't be a race in larger games for the "good" colors, and in really huge games there still won't be multple players with the same color.
There could be a problem though with extra-competitive players designing a color that is almost impossible to see on the map that you are currently playing on. But I don't think that is too much of an issue. Extra-competitive players are harder to come by when there isn't a ranking system, and auto-radar targetting makes it more of a nuisance than a game winning tactic.

And then the host can either change their color to pink or kick them.SwiftSpear wrote:I think we're moving up to 16 team colors... infinate colors, while doable, is just asking people to be dicks and choose colors just shades off of other player's colors.
No worse than the current system where two people can have the same color.
256 colors would by t3h awesomez0r.

2^24 combinations (well in theory :) )
