Name the Team (your help needed)
by S2P · 12/18/2008 (3:51 am) · 12 comments
We're in need of your help... our team of Survival Strike elite soldiers are in need of becoming more life like. They need names and Ranks, and with your help we'll be able to take our game a stage further. Your name needs to be unique, not from another game like Gears of War - you could even submit your own name if you wanted, but we're not out to pay any royalties :) - well, maybe just a t-shirt! Names and Ranks will then be placed with our other choices and we'll pick the best ones and let you know once our website has launched.

Not sure why but this interested me. To me the order of rank from highest to lowest would be 3, 2, 4, 1, 5, and then 6. General, Major, Sergeant Major, Staff Sergeant, Specialist, and then Private First Class. Having been in the military I've chosen ranks that look to fit. Elite number 1 looks like he should be the main character thus the nco rank; Not too high ranked, but enough experience to lead the younger 2 (5 and 6).

More characters on the way in 2009 - female character - smaller body armour. Now the question is, do we go for sexy (seven of nine, lara croft...), or butch body building, sexy but don't mess with me character? hmm,.

A lot of slap stick comedy an this could be a fun alternative to the big boobed leatherneck (she's just as unrealistic as the blonde)
;-) well maybe I should make that game myself... my point is WHY make a female team?

Why don't you go for the "dumb blonde ignorant" female characters, (with not so large breasts as the title suggests!) lets a lot of accidents happen, and survives due to blind luck, rather than wits...(a lot of adjusting lipstick, hair and the like) Their Generella should be "Marilon Blondo" and the other rancks could be Majess, Seargine Majess, Poledancer Seargine, Overmakeress and First class Blonde...A lot of slap stick comedy an this could be a fun alternative to the big boobed leatherneck (she's just as unrealistic as the blonde)

lol. welll I guess your right there, I doubt we'd have a whole female team, afterall, how much of a percentage of female gamers are there, cannot remember off hand but I'm sure it was something like 20% in the world ?

40% of gamers are women - an my guess is that DS and Wii sales may have had a say in this. Although, I'm sure that it's probably far less for XBOX360/PS3 and maybe PC.

Ok, 20% was in 2006... but these people are saying 40% in 2008.40% of gamers are women - an my guess is that DS and Wii sales may have had a say in this. Although, I'm sure that it's probably far less for XBOX360/PS3 and maybe PC.
