Can you please be a bit more descriptive than that...? You could just go to the OP and there's a name pile..
I mean, if you could provide us with some kind of "theme" I'm sure Scope or myself could take care of it for you.
This isn't really a name request, but more I'm asking you opinion. I'm making a map that encompasses the entirety of Foundry. It's going to be a competitive map intended to support 6-10 players. The two names I have as of now are either Pachyderm or Elephant. I just wanted to know which you thought sounded better.
First of all, I like both names. To my knowledge, neither name has been used (you want to check by using the advanced search function and search thread titles in the map forums). Pachyderm Pros: Interesting Out of the Ordinary Cons: Hard to pronounce (?) Elephant Pros: Known Meaning Out of the ordinary Cons: Less Creative Right now, I'd chose Pachyderm.
meh, I'd choose Elephant. The name Elephant would give the map an air of grandeur based on size, a mammoth feeling of sorts, where as pachyderm makes me think of bats and pedicures?
"The term 'pachyderm' is used outside of science to describe elephants, rhinoceroses, and hippopotamuses." - Wikipedia Right now I'm leaning towards Elephant, because if you can't pronounce Pachyderm when you read it most other people won't be able to either. So really it makes more sense to me to go with the common word, rather than the one no one knows. Side Note: The only maps I found with the name Elephant were recreations of the elephant on Sand Trap, or just an actual elephant for aesthetics. The only thread that came up when I searched the word pachyderm was this one...
Well then, looks like you have your name. Better to go with a common word. I wouldn't worry about other maps.
Map Style: Casual Map Name Preferences: Map Quality Named After: Map Name Meaning: Map Description: 2 bases that look nothing alike but are the same separated by an area with 2 floors, in the skybox, vaguely reminiscent of beaver creek previously named "Klock Row" and "Geoplex" cause I have no idea what to name it
Go with Pachyderm. For great justice. You realize you didn't fill out half of it? Check the name pile brew.
Um, currently I have a lame name for my map. Could someone check the map sometime and give me a name?
Knowing a bit about your map would help the naming process. Fill out this form. Check the Name Archive on the first post to see a list of names.

Im a little confused as to how this tread works but i guess you suggest map names to people so here are a few cool map names i came up with: 4 leaf clover blackmail blue blood cumbersome conscription crowned feudilism fleash wound focal point fulfilment grindstone intrapment Intwinned noose phychometrics preventive shanty snake skin tocsin viral wetworks I take it non of these have been taken also if unsure of any of the meanings please google it or read a dictionary, i would of provided the meanings next to the words but that would of taken forever.
Hello. I'm back, and I need help with names for my gametype pack Squad Tactics. I will explain in relative detail each gametype and the testing map used for them all as well as the current names I have for each. The gametypes are what I need help naming (unless you can think of any really cool ideas for map names or even a name for the entire game that would replace Squad Tactics) In the game, each team spawns in separate closed off rooms where they must pick up a custom powerup that enables them to pick up weapons. Each weapon in in a separate tube (not to create a class system, just to prevent them from having more than one primary weapon). They then teleport into the map. Once the custom powerup wears off, which is very shorty after they enter the map, they can no longer pick up weapons, meaning that they are stuck with whatever they chose for the rest of that life. The map itself has a street-themed layout. There are streets of varying elevation and grade with different alleyways that are opened and closed off in symmetric and asymmetric games. This map, however, is just a testing map. The final map will not likely have this layout, so please do not use it when choosing potential names. I'm thinking of naming this map (the street-themed map) Streetside. I may later make a map that involves large, open buildings with much fighting on the insides, which I would name Cityscape. Gametypes Spoiler The Squad Tactics gametype pack includes Slayer, CTF, Assault, KotH, Territories, VIP, and Infection. For the most part, the gametypes are in their final forms, though they may change as testing continues. They are what I need help with naming. They are all two-word names that start with the word Squad and end with a word reflecting some aspect of the game itself. Because of the requisite Squad and the space that follows, the second part of the name must be 9 letters or less (or I must change the Squad at the beginning). In each gametype players have the same basic traits, higher damage resistance, 0% shield recharge, lower speed, etc., objectives, such as on-hill traits, flag carrier traits, VIP proximity traits, and defender traits in territories act as health packs making their shields recharge 50%, and they have 20 sec respawn time with team sync and unlimited lives. The Slayer gametype is named Squad Training. The name must be changed (1/5). It is a basic game of Slayer with minimum scoring, 1 point per kill, 10 points to win. The Capture the Flag gametype is named Squad Recovery. The name is okay at most (2.75/5); I'd be much happier with something else. It is a game of 2-Flag with one capture to win. The Assault variant is called Squad Strike. The name is okay (3/5), but I'd be happier with something else. It is a game of 1-Bomb with one capture to win. The King of the Hill game is called Squad Control. The name is good (4/5), but if you can find something better, I'd like to hear it. In it, the hills move every minute, and each team gets 1 point for every second of uncontested control and 10 points for each kill. The Territories game is named Squad Defense. The name is pretty good (3.5/5), but please tell me if you can think of something better. It is a one-sided territories game with lock-on-capture. The VIP game is called Squad Leaders. I do not like this name; it needs to be changed (2/5). It is a two-sided VIP game where the destination changes every minute, and there's 1 point per goal arrival and 1 point per VIP kill. Once a VIP team reaches a destination, they should defend it from they other team until it changes. The Infection game is called Squad Infect. This name needs to be changed (2/5) as well. I would like it to be something along the lines of the Infected overtaking or overcoming the human team in some sort of insurgency, rebellion, or revolution, but I couldn't think of anything that would both fit and sound good. In it, the infected team starts with 25% of the total players and has the exact same traits as the human team (base player traits in every gametype), but the humans' shields recharge to help the weather the waves of zombies. As I have stated several times, I need help naming the gametypes (especially the Slayer, VIP, and Infection variants). If you can think of any names for the maps (Streetside, Cityscape) or the game itself (Squad Tactics). Thank you. UPDATE: Apparently the name Squad Tactics has already been used by H3C x Nevs HERE. Since the name of the entire game itself must be changed, it gives me the opportunity to change the Squad in front of the gametype names to something else that would go along with the new name, which means that gametype suggestions can now be longer than 9 letters. People in XF helped me come up with the names. They are: Spoiler Tactical Corps ( the entire Game) Streetside (Map) Cityscape (Map) TC Skirmish (Slayer) TC Extraction (CTF) TC Sabotage (Assault) TC Holdout (KotH) TC Defense (Territories) TC Escort (VIP with destinations) TC Security (VIP without destinations) TC Uprising
