Red beats Blue

[Archon]

although this was tested with ut2004, valve's win stats by team seems to support it also http://www.steampowered.com/status/tf2/tf2_stats.php

An article published in the Cyberpsychology & Behavior journal this week revealed that a scientific study of 1347 Unreal Tournament 2004 matches, a game described in an Associated Press report as mainly involving "running around and shooting," determined that Red Team defeated Blue Team 55 percent of the time. Mihai Moldovan, a neuroscientist at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark who worked alongside researchers at the Carol Davila University in Bucharest, Romania, said the Red Team's advantage could be because the color red can act as a "psychological distractor" for men, possibly because they flush and turn red when they become angry.

Despite the obvious and now irrefutable unfairness of the situation, Epic Games Vice President Mark Rein expressed little sympathy for the unfortunate losers on the Blue Team. "While this is really an interesting analysis, the notion of red team versus blue team has been ingrained in the Unreal Tournament series for years," said Rein, who has long been rumored to drop out of games whenever he's automatically assigned to the Blue Team. "We don't anticipate any immediate changes to team colors."

The results are expected to help further scientific analysis in other ongoing studies, including Triad: A History Of Red Squadron Vs. Blue Squadron, Making It Up As We Go: A Contextual Analysis of Lightsaber Colors, and If Red Is So Awesome Then What's Up With All These Dead Star Trek Guys?

Interesting

indeed it is.

Apparently more people's favorite color is red

And, of course, it has nothing to do with, for instance, which team is attacking vs defending, or something like that.

well the testing was done is matches, where usually each team has to play a round on each side. and valves stats show red the wins more on the even maps, 2fort, granary, well, and badlands. even valve commented on it once i remember, they said they were gonna look into why red wins more on even maps.

[Torven]

Valve's stats on symmetrical maps are close enough that it is more likely a result of the players reacting to the rumor that the red team does better rather than the actual color of the team. I would be willing to bet that if you could look at average team pop on those maps, blue has a slightly lower population and a higher tendency for players to switch teams or go spec.

Explain this then:

Not sure what to make of that...

[Torven]

Tie resolution is probably handled by the order in which either the player entered the game, or the current character spawned; it would take fewer resources than adding a random number generator. My guess is that when they set up those fights, they add all of one team, then all of the other rather than going one red, one blue (not facing off against the existing red) and so on. I would guess it goes off the first entity there, since Blue is before Red on most dropdown/entity lists.
