Combine vs. Rebels Teamplay Poll

Basically I'm stuck on a small detail of which team should be which color. I figured it'd be best to understand which colors of either red or blue players associate between the combine and the rebels.

In hl2 valve used blue lighting to associate areas with the combine, so I'd go with blue for them and red for rebels since that's likely what most players are familiar with.

That's also how I feel. Additionally, red is more of a rebellious color.

But where I am conflicted is the whole idea of good and evil. I see combine as evil so I associate them with red. And that leaves blue as the good Rebels.

Agree with Tysn.

Though, I don't know why you would think the combine are evil.

Combine Blue, Rebel Red.

You have to ask this?

I can't think of any other mod where this isn't the case. SourceForts, CTF, etc, etc.

Hmm. Never played any mods that had rebels vs. combine. Or at least didn't notice the teaming.

HL2DM?
SourceForts?
Syner... Greenland? (But no one playing team modes there. Cos they suck. No match to oc_kake)

Plus, in HL2DM, Rebels had red text, whereas Combine had blue text.
