Argentum may have a new name: War Metal

[Luciano U. Werner]

I like it. It has Ag in the title and the name relates to the game.

[Mike Wagstaff]

How about...<br><br>Argentum: War Metal<br><br>It's in bold to make it look dramatic.

[RICoder]

I still like Argentum all by itself.  It has a ring to it.  It's one of those names that takes on a life of its own.<br><br>As for my "offensive" post, well I will go start a thread in the ANYTHING forum called IMHO.  If you want to see what I said, I will say it again there...if it doesn't disapear again.

Ermm... Carpe, whats with the sudden urge to change a great name?

[Jaybot]

i think argentum is a lame name now, i've heard it too many times.  and i'm NOT kissing anyones ass, randall, i'm just stating my opinion (without getting it deleted, which is rather nice) while war metal is a pretty generic name, argentum is kind of obscure and confusing to anyone who looks at it the first time, which is where you can lose a few buyers right there..... if that matters to anyone.  obviously everyone here is going to buy it no matter what the name is, so this isnt exactly the best place for a poll on the name argentum if its been out for awhile.  I think the best name for the game as a compromise of both worlds would just to have a big Ag (meaning silver or argentum) and then under it the words war metal; that way it makes sense both ways.    <br>             Ag<br>           War Metal<br><br>Or something like that.... but thats just me.

why does the name have to explain the game anyway?

[Luciano U. Werner]

Because not everybody knows what it's about.

[Paul]

what? so they're going to market the game with explaining the plot at all so it'll have to rely on its title for an explanation? rubbish!

[Luciano U. Werner]

Of course they're putting a tutorial (I guess). With a name like Argentum, it could be a Today utility, or an adventure game, or a mail manager.<br>War Metal: The Argentum Conflict sounds more like a RTS or wargame.

[Paul]

dont be stupid

[randall]

Um, yeah. Okay... well I am from the USA, and I speak ENGLISH. Let me tell you how fucking stupid WAR METAL sounds... nevermind.<br><br>"Waffen SS" sounds cool as hell too (and badass). But in it's native language, it is pretty simplistic.

[Luciano U. Werner]

It's their game. They call it whatever the hell they want.

[randall]

yeah. that's right. And the name will probably have no effect on sales whats-so-ever.<br><br>I had suggested "Jaybots Luv Shack" as an alternative name some time ago. I guess that isn't as catchy as "War Metal".<br><br>

[Jaybot]

no, no randall, jaybots luvshak was for the wolfenstein port.. although i assume it can be applied to this game as well... so its decided, Argentum: Jaybot's War Metal Luv Shak.

[DeathsMaster]

War Metal . . . hmm dosn't sound quite right . . . now som'it like Argentum: The Metal War, maybe? but I dun'no.
