"Tour of Duty" seems to get lots of votes.. no wonder since it is a very American thing. Weren't the US pilots the only ones who made a Tour to the war and if they survived it, they returned to home and safety?

Many other pilots fought a war until it ended or they were killed. Thus to me TOD seems a bit light... no offence meant ;)

Also "Tour" is already used for describing the monthly stats period. How would the plain "Duty" add to it to describe to future arena and its nature?

IMO, TOD is a great name in its present use. But for the future arena the name should rather point to its contents... Mission orientation and pilot Careers. There are many good suggestions from that basis.

"Tour of Duty"

I think this is apt and reflects not only the mission arena idiom whilst the name has a "heritage" within AH......


"Campaign"

Simple,  punchy, sits easily with the other name "Classic" whilst also being able to place the player in any theatre of war.

Both reflect an arena/game/product that requires the player to return and participate to progress, both have actual RL conitations, both carry subconcious "tags" that bring to mind the adventure, challenge, glory, honour of the simulation (rather than the blood, guts, misery, loss, sacrifice of RL)

If I was wanting to put this on the shelves of the gaming shops with a bigger off line AI component then I would go for "Campaign" and "Classic" as a double box.

If I was expanding my online offering with a new product whilst enhancing the old one, then maybe "Tour of Duty" would be more appropriate.

Hmm, yeah, TOD is a bit too American, and Campaign more than fits the bill....

Hasn't Tour of Duty been used before? Actually, cutting the winsome platitudes, it has been used before.
