Request for when you pick a callsign
« on: March 03, 2005, 08:43:29 PM »
In an attempt to prevent the dreaded number names, can you guys add some text to the callsign selection screen saying to keep trying or something.  I think the reason these number names show up is because eventually they just get tired of trying and type in random stuff, and then they're stuck with it until they call or email you guys.

part of it is where is says "alphanumeric"

many don't get that means letters. ask a numbers dude one time, they'll say that 50% of the time or more.

maybe if it was reworded to say "do not use special charecters: @#$_~!..."

Yeah, that might work.  Really just anything to keep them from typing a bunch of numbers.

You are right, they should add "Player" in front of the unique number...   That way we can really distinguish the n00bs.   Player1, Player2, Player850.....   oh yeah


Death to n00bs!  :eek:

I used to always say that they should all be thrown into one giant squad.  Hell, let 999000 be the CO.  How great would it be to see a handfull of guys land kills like so:


SYSTEM: 125437 Landed 3 Kills in a of:  49623442154th "numb3r d00dz!111"
