SpinelesS Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Wow, I barely remember that film. I'll probably have to have a Crystal Unger for no other reason than nostalgia. For some reason, in the original game I'd always have a Crystal Unger every time I start a new game. No idea who Crystal Unger is... I think I'll do the cast of Team America: World Police for my next game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colmarr Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I just leave the names as the game issues them. They usually fit just fine. My crazy assault shotgunner who rushes in to take down Sectopods in a blaze of alloy cannon shrapnel? "Gonzo" My deadeye sniper who crits for 19 damage? "Garotte". My bullet swarm heavy? "Doomsday". My fast-as-lightning medic? "Pox". My assault who took Flush instead of Rapid Fire? "Mad man" (yeah, what was HE thinking?!) I'm loving these nicknames!

PredatorAncient Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I think the Devs may have put some rules or modifiers (or they're trolling us) on the nickname generation, both of my Snipers got the nicknames "Alpha" and "Omega" in that order. I agree with Colmarr, loving the nicknames that the game is issuing my soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direkin Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Haven't renamed soldiers yet, but I had one rookie named Mordecai. When he got promoted to squaddie he was made a sniper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad Legion has no last name.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Of 87 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/1462/imag0448g.jpg http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/1453/imag0449l.jpg Yeah, Vorsprung Durch Techdick isn't really a famous dildo, but options I was getting from Amazon's best-selling dildo list were running thin (Ready Ryan? LAME) so I just tried to think of things/phrases tied to nationality and insert (~!) a dick or vag pun into them. Andy Farrant (Of all the fucking people) and Lusty Leo Tolstoy were the only 2 left standing by the end of my first play session. When I fired it back up I realised a game released in 2012 didn't have Auto-Save as a default. Oh Well. RIP Wave 1. Ooooh, the INSPIRATION from this thread. Next time I'll name them after other super-suited shooter dudes from already established franchises. That's genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrinkX Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Marcus Fenix 'Rising' - Sniper Dominic Santiago 'Dom' - Support Augustus Cole 'Train' - Assault Damon Baird 'Boomer' - Heavy Delta Squad is in the XCOM house! I did the same thing with my second playthrough, naming everyone after someone in Gears of War (1st playthrough was people I know, including my kids... which was weird having my daughter killing aliens with a Plasma Rifle). I nicknamed Baird "Blondie" though, like Bernie Mataki was always calling him. Too funny! Not so funny is that Damon and Jake Stratton ended up being my Psionic warriors... look out world, you do not want Baird wielding that kind of power :-) EDIT (1/22): ...And for my Impossible run I am using characters from Mario Bros (though strange enough, Mario and Luigi have not made the cut so far) ...because of the insistence of my children :-). Don't worry the kids are not watching or playing, just naming. Having Princess Peach face-shot a Muton Berserker with her Alloy Cannon is just odd.

Augustus Leto Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The origin of mine will be pretty obvious. Assault John-117 "Chief" Kelly-087 Adriana-111 William-043 Heavy Fred-104 Samuel-035 Jai-006 Alice-130 Sniper Linda-058 Jerome-092 Victor-101 Cal-141 Support Kurt-051 Fhajad-084 Mike-120 Maria-062 And three guesses as to who was "lucky" enough to be the first one to be psionically gifted... Of course it was JOHN! I actually have more Spartans assigned to each role, but these are just in my current game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Benton Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Mine are always a mix between Stagate SG1 Stargate Atlantis Stargate SGU Firefly Got plenty of options to chose from. 4 of my favourite series ever merged into 1 of my favorite games.
