Gorzahg Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 You don't change their name you change their call sign. At the end of a mission their names are shown, not their call sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzles Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 You don't change their name you change their call sign. At the end of a mission their names are shown, not their call sign. Which is a bug btw. It should be showing their callsign in the After Action Report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Not really a new bug. It's been in for a while. Not sure if it' known to Chris though. It should display the callsign (the name you changed it to) but it shows the name that is still left in the soldiers file on the soldier screen for some reason. (The soldier keeps his original name in that one line and everything else is the callsign.) btw have you read : http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/741-The-Bug-Reporting-Process-*%28Updated-17-Jan-2012%29* It would help if you formated the topic lines like the other bug reports. please and thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorlom Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I thought that it wasn't a bug since it has been like that for ages. Chris commented on it in the soldier customization thread in the suggestions/request forum. The callsign is supposed to be displayed at the AAR. the only place the original name is supposed to be kept is that one line in the soldier file. The term "Callsign" is just put in the game because I didn't think it was particularly realistic to add an option to literally change the name of your soldiers. Seemed a bit immersion-breaking to me. To all purposes and effects, it should rename the soldier everywhere in the game except for the tiny writing above his stats on the Soldier Equip screen. If the Callsign doesn't overwrite the name somewhere, then it's a bug and should be reported as such.

Gorlom Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 No worries, it's not something anyone gets upset about. A lot of people does it, but it doesn't break the forum for that. That formatting just makes it a little bit easier for Mathew our resident bug hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
