As is the case with most team-based online shooting games, players of Unreal Tournament can choose to be on either the red team or the blue team, and their avatars wear those colors. But that choice is not as neutral as it seems: 55 percent of the time, the red team won, according to the study published this week in the journal Cyberpsychology & Behavior
That's probably just poor writing and/or reporting. I haven't played any of the UT games since the original '99 version, but most online shooters I've played, including UT, Team Fortress 2, etc., automatically assign you to whichever team has fewer players when you join the server, so it is more or less random.
