Hey there!
I just watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X31K6jammH0
It explains that, psychologically, playing in the Red team would make us more aggressive. And if we play in the Blu team, it would make us more strategic. I don’t know what you guys think about that, maybe you already felt stronger playing in the Red team, I don’t know…
I’d like to know your opinion about this, it can be really interesting.

Arena maps seem pretty balanced to me
In fact, Blue has a noticeable slight advantage but ultimately not worth mentioning.
Badlands and Fastlane’s difference is negligible.
I don’t buy this whole colour theory thing in games, so long as they are easy to discern from the background palette.

This has already been discussed on teamfortress.tv: http://www.teamfortress.tv/thread/26358/game-theory-red-vs-blue/
Also, some interesting stats from tf2pickup logs:
From All 19000 logs (less total because games had not 12 players):

I used to play with Furbo and he would ALWAYS make us go Blu team because he had harder time spotting Blu players. Wouldn’t say it made any difference, however I always found it easier to play on Blu team playing Viaduct.
He kept spelling colours wrong.
But yes colour theory is nothing new.
That said there are obviously some issues with map balance in addition to that.

I saw this video but i don’t think this apply to every player, for example i have really easier time playing AGAINST red. i think it comes from the fact that in everygame red colour means it’s a bad thing so it’s more logical at least to me to shoot or avoid red things :)
Another thing, thinking about A/D gamemodes, Red is Defence, Blu is offence and though it makes sense to have strategy when attacking, the thought of being aggressive as a Defensive team doesn’t really come into it.
However this may explain why my teammates overextend on Defence 8)
Eh. It’s easier to camp and hold choke points than it is to push into them.
1st. If you let yourself not play the proper meta because of some color you are a shit player.
2nd. There are other way more interesting aspects of game theory which you can apply to TF2 or many other team based games.

You obviously don’t agree but no need to be rude..
