Losing the name game

[Zhall]

Is it just me, or are some of the names in starcraft 2 simply horrid?

Roaches -just about as imaginative as Buzzers from C&C 3

The AH/G-24 Banshee - Instead of recyling "Wraith" lets stick random letters and numbers infront of the name of a vehicle that is all too familiarized with Halo.

TF-620 Nomad - The frozen what? A flying scv... right...

Mothership - So... now we are playing Homeworld?... And.. instead of having the nexus be our command center lets have a flying one as well.

Graviton Beam - Maybe it was the way he said it (Battle report 3) but it sounded pretty trekky to me.

I think the bottomline is that they aren't going to beat the classics they made in the original game, and will end up making a huge mess of whatever names they dont recycle.

...And here come the flamers now

I like the name roaches.

Roaches are awesome! Just because another game uses a name doesn't mean Starcraft can't.

OH RL uses Marines, guess Blizzard can't use that... Mothership isn't original, but it fits perfectly.

I'll agree with Banshee and Nomad (but I think the Nomad is called a Nighthawk now).
Banshees are piloted by men too which is doubly stupid.

Graviton Beam is fine. If you can think of a better name, mail them

I'll reserve my names for myself..

This response if full of fail. Better check your keyboard.

The Nomad is no longer the nomad OR the Nighthawk. It's now called "Raven".

 

[The World Is Flat]

Well if the call it the banshee and it's a remake of the wraith doesn't that make sense?
I dunno... i don't keep track, all i know is thatis going to be a cool game.

 

[Tyranid]

The Banshee ain't a remake of the Wraith... The Wraith was stealthy anti-air. The Banshee on the other hand is a stealthy anti-building and anti-ground (too bad it no longer has AoE thought).

 

[The World Is Flat]

oh, oh well.

Like i said, no more free think-tanking for blizzard. Even though I will be via custom maps lol.
