Which of these sounds better?

BaconShelf · December 17, 2014, 01:19:52 PM

Marines, best described as a combination of Halo ODSTs and Spartan-III's. Can't decide which one is better. They launch from orbit in 4-6 man pods, and then storm a battlefield and fuck shit up in a manner similar to the Brotherhood of Steel and Spartan-III's.

The first two names sound like metaphors for taking a crap.

nͫiͤcͫeͤ · December 17, 2014, 01:21:23 PM

dps sounds like damage per second so i personally would not pick that name

They mke more sense with the armour design; they look kinda like Fallout Power armour, with massive shields on their left arm.

I was originally going with that, but I suddenly realised star wars main soldiers are stormtroopers. I have an armour variant called storm, as a reference to it.

No lemon you've got it all wrong, it's ODSTs combined with Spartan 3s. Nothing like halo

I was more trying to describe them in a way that was easy to type in a few seconds, and a comparison to something most people here know about was easy.

Well its more a naming system in my thing. I have units called Dragonfires, Phoenix, Centurion, Sentinel, ExoWar and so forth. 3/4 fit that theme.

I described it like that so that I didn't have to type a paragraph about it, a comparison to something most people here know seemed the easiest route, though I now know people take comparisons too literally, so I won't bother next time.

how about super tactical air drop metal people with guns that kill people and grunt a lot after they come out of metal boxes

They're clearly just renamed ODSTs.

Next you'll be trying to tell us that Halo wasn't inspired by this.

It fits the general fantasy theme you have in the names and works with what you've described the armor to look like.
