Change squad names

DeadLantern · Post by **DeadLantern** » 18 Sep 2016, 00:22

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

Change squad names from Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, And Delta because they're way too overused. Instead, use Whiskey, X-Ray, Yankee, and Zulu. Much cooler names.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Make it a bit more unique and make the names sound cooler.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): It would work just fine. No weird things.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Literally just change the squad names. Make Whiskey The new Delta, make X-Ray the new Charlie, make Yankee the new Bravo, and make Zulu the new Alpha.

I like this.

I really don't see a logical reason for this. To you it might seem like a worthy change, but the work that would have to be put in to change something so simple wouldn't be worth it.

Can't really support it, but I also can't say that it'd be an issue for me if it were to be implemented.

I would like to see this suggestion go through if it WEREN'T for the names listed. If different names are suggested I would be fine with it. Neutral leaning towards -1

I suggest we change it to write squad, right squad, wright squad, and rite squad.

Why not just name them all fruits.

How about, Shut, The, Fuck, and Up for the new squad names? It was a good joke.

clearly we should name them after historical figures....Stalin,Churchill,Ceaser and bush squads are my suggestions

Just use scripting. Change EVERY INSTANCE of Alpha to Apple over the radio.

Maybe add a little bit of mark antony in there?

No. Let's not change this as they are important in Colonial Marines' history and evolution of the squad. Thanks to an old friend who redirected me to this suggestion which I found this suggestion to be most displeasing. As I have said, let's not do this. This may appear to be overused to you but I'll turn the tables back to you, Foxtrot, Whiskey, X-Ray, Zulu, they will be overused once you put them in play and we'll all complain about the same thing and change over to different squad names.

Just keep Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta as the way as it appears. Seriously. Changing every instances of "Alpha" to "Apple" in script isn't going to help fix everything for you.

I just chose significant Romans of the Julio-Claudian line. Augustus for creating the empire, Julius for setting the stage for the transition, Nero for ending the dynasty's reign and Tiberius for succeeding Augustus and not being shite.

Can we just add Caligula too? I want that squad to be ordered with making a horse part of Command Staff then being ordered to shoot the water in the river because the CO has a grudge with Poseidon.

How about every round, the squad names are generalized using the standard military alphabet code, which can be found here: http://www.militaryfactory.com/military ... t_code.asp

That way, it's totally unique every round. Granted it would get confusing. Maybe put a sign up for each name and put it on the ID card.

That's, actually, the only one idea I liked. Though it will be impossible to implemen, so nope.
