M1A1TC Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I really dislike the current name, it seems cheezy. Please post suggestions of what you think would be a better name. Combat Mission: Strike Force Combat Mission: World Police (this one's a joke) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Strike Force? Sounds like some kind of a Trade Union game. How about "Combat Mission: Beyond Iraq"? Back to the roots... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSgt Viljuri Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Considering existing trademarks and such, inventing these things is a waste of time. However, few suggestions: Combat Mission: Freedom Brigade Combat Mission: Objective Force Combat Mission: Strike-Force Liberty Combat Mission: The Gnome Bunch vs The Elves EDIT: added another one [ October 17, 2005, 05:11 AM: Message edited by: SSgt Viljuri ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I've always felt that BFC, and BTS earlier, gave underachieving titles to their games. I protested against "Combat Mission" when it was first announced oh these many, many moons ago. Well, I don't suppose it matters too much. I doubt that BFC has lost many sales on account of its titles. But since the subject has come up, I have to admit that though they have become familiar and accepted to me now, I still find them uninspiring. I think the company that consistently gave good names to its products was GDW, back around 25-30 years ago. The only thing I would count against that was their tendency to use German names for campaigns, some of which would be awkward for a non-German to pronounce.

juan_gigante Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I myself keep on wanting to call it Strike Force, but I'm getting used to the real way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys, comments like this are only going to be disruptive to the forums. As we have mentioned, we do understand if you and others are not interested in modern warfare, but please dont make our jobs harder because of it.

yuvuphys Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Guys, stop being pathetic and posting political stuff. If you're so insecure about your viewpoint that you have to bring this crap up every post, it says a lot more than arguing with you ever could. As for the name...I like strike force, shock force reminds me of shock troops, and it doesn't quite roll off the tounge, either. Either way, I'll just call it CMSF, anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I kinda like the name 'CM:Shock Force', especially after the displays of shock and dismay on the board at the game's announcement! :eek: It'd probably be too much to ask for them to alter the name to "Shock and Dismay Force", though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're so insecure about your viewpoint that you have to bring this crap up every post, it says a lot more than arguing with you ever could. Well, the subject matter definitely invites this kind of commentary. I think it's unavoidable to a certain extent. BFC must be well aware of this linkage. Absent OIF a hypothetical invasion of Syria would be much less contentious IMO. As for the name...I like strike force, shock force reminds me of shock troops, and it doesn't quite roll off the tounge, either. Either way, I'll just call it CMSF, anyway. I like Strike Force too. There was a real doctrinal development in the years prior to the Stryker called Strike Force. It was the medium weight solution before GEN Shinseki became CSA and gave us the Stryker and black berets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMC Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Strike Force was cancelled so I can't see DOD raising a fuss about BFC using it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
