Do you think that the game modes should be renamed?

No real point in changing realism as its what most players play.

Classic can change to anything really, I somehow doubt it will please people for long.

At least if it is changed they can't whine about the name being the reason its played less.

Also I seem to remember a poll about naming classic mode in which classic was picked......

Ya classic could use a name change. It is not the same classic as before. Is that going to happen? NOpe. Could some of the features added into classic make its way into realism? Well call me crazy....but on a small scale I think they are.

I dont think changing the name will magically bring in more people. But i do find that the description of classic doesn't describe that well what it means gameplay wise.

I'm all for changing the emblems. The Skull symbol normally represents the most difficult game mode to play in nearly all videogames. The sterotype comes from one of the most popular FPS to date, Halo, and its heavily ingrained the psyche of my generation. So if you're between the ages of 14 and 24 its probably safe to say that if you see a game mode that can be summed up by a skull then it is the most balls-to-the-walls bad *** and must be played, quite literally, to death.

I say take the Skull and give it to Classic and take Classic's R emblem and give it to Realism. Then watch the FPS junkies come flocking to get their asses kicked in the most difficult FPS experience short of furiously scrolling through menu prompts in ARMA2.

Oh yes, the skull symbol for realism.... Never noticed that before (because Filter: No Password and Classic).

Skull = Hardcore

If I would join server because of the symbols on the left side I would join only skull (realism) server, too - when I

Or ya know they can put a serious effort into promoting Classic in the next big influx of players (patch, free weekend etc) instead of superficially changing the name in the hopes that people will magically appear. I bet if all the official TWI servers ran Classic most people will be exposed to it, then they can judge the mode for its merits - not be misled by arbitrary naming

The R emblem for Classic in the server browser is the logo for RO1, which is the experience Classic mode is trying to emulate. It would make much less sense if you tried to flip around Realism's skull emblem with Classic's RO1 Ostfront emblem.
