You get to pick your teams and then you go in and kill each other. How do you tell friends from enemies? Their color - oh no, that's a red team guy, shoot him! No, not her, she's one of us blue people! What about Westwood's legendary Command & Conquer? Load it up and you get given some yellow tanks. Oh no! Here come some blue guys! They're not like us, we'd better kill them! Games have been racist all this time. It's nice to see somebody finally being honest about it. Oh yeah, and finally us honest hard working blue cells get a chance to fight back at those damn grey cell foreigners who keep taking all our jobs!
