It has always been assumed the Red Team in TF2 are the good guys. They are favored by valve in the videos, marketing, and merchandise. Usually when a company chooses a team to favor it's always the good guys. Red must be good right? I don't think so, and I'm going to tell you why by comparing the habits and details of two fairly similar yet quite different teams.

Logos

Red

A bomb. This may be the biggest give away of all that Red Team are in fact, the bad guys. Above is the Red Teams official logo it's full logo. However if you do a google search for the Logo, even though Red is a fictional team, they have somehow managed to conceal their full logo in favor of something slightly less sinister:

Reliable Excavation Demolition

A cover up to make you think they dig holes? I've never seen a hole digging process that involved rockets, bombs, mechanical weapons and giant machine guns.

Blu
[Image: blu-tf2-t.jpg]
This is also an alternate logo of which Blu team posses. They are the supposed Builders League United, but of course I don't really buy that either. A cover up perhaps so no one knows they have to fight the Red terrorists?

A wrench. Doesn't that just put your mind at ease? Already, just by analyzing the logos I would think Blu team either has much more common sense, or are the better set of people.

Assault Vs. Defense

[Image: 3647224215_c45ca2c297.jpg?v=0]
Red is always Defense. They are always trying to stop the Blu team from accomplishing their goal, from doing what needs to be done. At the end of Dustbowl they even have a missile that Blu must stop, probably saving thousands of lives from a nuclear explosion. Blu comes across as the obvious hero here. Going above and beyond to defend us from the evil Red Team.

Push Maps
[Image: The_Cart_TF2_by_ninja_steave.png]
On push maps, Blu must push a bomb to the end of s set map, blowing up part of red base, and, upon victory, them selves. What no one seems to noticed is that in this case, Red Team is now allowing Blu team to create a giant hole in the g round. This goes against their motto, and their job description. If they were truly excavationists, shouldn't Red HELP blue dig? Instead, Red team decided to try to slaughter Blu team for doing nothing more them making a crater. Sure it's a bit suicidal and elaborate, but essential Red are in fact, only blowing their cover.

Final Point
Mass Sentry Building
[Image: 3648043332_7434470ee5.jpg?v=0]
Building lots of sentry that will only not shoot at you if your wearing something red, and building them in great quantity. This is terrifying and I fear for our children who learn to build sentry's every day, because everyone knows only children play video games and can learn how to do things from them. As such I expect many children to go to school and build terrible sentry's because you can learn how to from this game. This makes Red and evil, evil company.

I always thought the Red team had a bomb because their name stood for "Reliable Excavation Demolition" whereas Blu, or "Builder's League United" had a wrench to symbolize... well... that they build stuff.


Blu builds, Red demolishes; natural enemies. One represents progress and the other is it's enemy; boom, game premise.

Cool write-up, Neonie.  Though, I think there's too much ambiguity in our beloved fictitious companies to draw any conclusions.  What if Red team is trying to send that rocket into space to blow up invading space aliens?  Blu team = evil alien agents!!  We have no clue what that rocket is for.

I'm kinda going with Fail on this one. It was a good type up and a fun read but it has many holes and I'm just too lazy to type a counter-article. :x

I should probably mention it's got no actual fact (as far as what I meant to put in). It's mostly an article of silliness which I did not really take seriously. I do however believe Blu to be good and always go Blu, but apart from the Dustbowl thing I have no real proof  Tongue
