On RPG with team gametypes, I find it frustrating to be on the red team and fighting against players' monsters on the blue team because they have a red bar over them. It gets confusing. I think it would make gameplay better if blue monsters had a blue bar over them.
Unfortunatley, I understand that due to the way code works, there is not an easy way to make the health bars appear different colors for different teams. Anybody out there have any ideas?

Assuming you have the standard awareness, the mere fact you see the bar means you should kill them, as you only see the bars over enemies. So don't worry about the colour, as that changes anyway.
There is a complication in that the medic awareness bar is already blue for people on the same team. People who play multiple characters would get well confused if today the medic bar is red meaning ok but red team, but now blue is ok and red means nearly dead. And it's showing blue - does that mean I am a medic on this team or a weapons master on a different team.
I think too complex. So although I understand your point, I am not sure there is an easy solution.

Actually, now that I've looked at it closer, the 'bar' above the monsters' head is a red halo, but it usually appears as if it is a bar from my perspective. It's usually no problem in Invasion since any monster w/o anything over there head is an enemy. However, as soon as the game switches to something like DM or team DM, it becomes impossible to tell friendly monsters from enemy monsters. {other than when they attack you}.

Ah, the halo. Sorry, I misunderstood. Doesn't seem to make sense for it to be just red does it? (except green of course).
