Seems like they aren't too keen on the name either, but the guy who wrote the article liked SHoWW2, so he will lap up to MoW :)

EDIT: Soz for the wrong post location and thanks for moving it :)

MoW

reminds me of a cat xD

A Finnish guy has also made up a name generator for 1C Company. Seems like that the name is getting a lot of flame around it, and that flame is not in the good way...

It's hard to match Soldiers-Heroes of World War II. That title is just classic. Maybe the developers could have had a game naming contest. Too bad Storm over Europe - Asian Expansion is already taken.

Namelist
All of those are quite cliche :D In my honest opinion Outfront or Outfront 2 would've been good names, because of the rarity of that name.

In my opinion, having a simmilar name to FOW can only mean bad luck - which picked up suckage ratings on almost every single review site :( . Give us back the Outfront!!!! :(

Just add "Soldiers - " to the front of each of those titles :realbig: . Then there'd be no question about what game it originated from.

I think Men of War will do it fine. At least we can replace term "play MoW" with "mow" like:
"I can't wait to start MoWing! Raah!!!" :insane: :realbig:

I honestly think Men of War (the name) sucks. I mean Soldiers: Heroes of World War II is catchy, Faces of War is ok (you get used to it) but Men of War just doesn't have any passion to it. It sounds dull. I would of loved the name "Outfront 2" for the game coming up but I guess it just wasn't to be. I beg though, just do NOT call the game Men of War!

Soldiers: The road to victory. That is catchy.

Well, the name is a cliché but it's just fine for me. In spite of the name I'm gonna buy the game and possibly enjoy it very much. Just worried does it lure newcomers...

If you were able to get used to FoW I think you will get used to this one too.

I threw mine out after playing it through so I'm really hoping for something much better this time around :P .

We'll see what the devs are able to summon. However, we can't judge a game by its name. :roll:

Ugh, no exact release date?

Summer 2008 is the most accurate date as far as I can remember.

Something with the word Brigade. Brigade is a very unusual, but catchy word. it stands out from "Company" "squad" and "heroes" and ofcourse "sodliers".

how about something like:

War Brigade, Brigadeer, 3rd Brigade, Heroe brigade, European Brigade, Attack Brigade, Special Brigade, Stealth Brigade

I like War brigade actually. Its catchy, its short, its to the point, its memorable, and its easy to say.
Imo rename the game to War Brigade :) I take no royalties, but add my name in credits for coming up with the name lol.

Yeah, it seems there are a fertilizer truck of games out now with the words "of War" in the title, it's getting old rather quickly :P .
