Well yes,..., I forgot to add them since they are not created by Best Way.

And while you're at it you could fix the release of Men of War to autumn 2008 instead of summer

[[OoO]No.Mam]

AKA, Outfront: Behind enemy lines.

Polish version hehe

[Albus]

In West Europe called Silent Heroes.

Why all these diffrent titels? Its just confusing, why not using the same worldwide?

[Mad Cat]

Some translations just don't fit. For instance the original Russian name for Soldiers-HoWWII translates into In the Rear of the Enemy. In English that is a somewhat homosexually referenced title . Personally I think it's hilarious but others may not.

[Rafo]

Haha xD
Good thing the western versions have a totally diff name and not a translation of the russian one... none would buy it otherwise :lol:

[Element_Five]

Well thats true, but anyway names like

Faces if War, Men of War, Outfront, Soldiers HOW2 are all names that could work all over the name.

Is it the same "problem" with other titles/companies were gametitles have to change when released in diffrent countries?

Yep. Movies run into the same thing when being translated from one language to another. Sometimes they just make up a new title because the direct translation gave away plot, was impractical, etc.
