Guest smbutler Posted May 16, 2000 Share Posted May 16, 2000 I noticed that the US CO in 'Chance Encounter' is named Butler. Any chance he's related to me? I mean, if I have cyber progeny out there fighting, I'll want to take extra care not to kill him. :} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compassion Posted May 16, 2000 Share Posted May 16, 2000 Also noted a Tank commander named "Tankersly"... WOnder if some of the names were lifted off this board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted May 16, 2000 Share Posted May 16, 2000 Yep, board members were allowed to submit names a long time ago. Many (if not most) made it into the game. Oh, and don't be surprised when you see a Lt. Moylan or Sgt. Grammont in a trench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudeLover Posted May 16, 2000 Share Posted May 16, 2000 Are the names randomly generated when you load a scenario or does everyone see the same ones? I had a squad led by Sgt. Moylan in CE in the beta demo, and a Cpl. Grammont took charge of a half-squad in RB. I really felt like doing a Saving Sgt. Moylan thing, putting him in deep reserve. If he had been hit, who would write the code? There was also a Sgt. Lorentzen in CE, who was surely related to my wife...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest G2A Posted May 16, 2000 Share Posted May 16, 2000 I was looking at the list of names inside the game, and noticed there's a Cartman. ------------------ "Grab your weapons, get up and fight!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted May 16, 2000 Share Posted May 16, 2000 RudeLover (what a name...) - the names are assigned randomly, UNLESS the designer assigned a specific name to a unit, e.g. historical names of unit commanders. There are a few scenarios in the full version with (some) historical names. These don't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
