Use simple nicknames!

[StevePl4y5]

Oh my gosh! Thank you, finally someone who understands me! XD

I usually just call them John xP

[Jutsch]

People have pronounced my nickname in any possible way but i always know i'm addressed immediatly

[gwa1hir]

I'd just call you 'gwa'

that's what people usually do, either that or "gwai"
few days ago I was playing with a guy who just called me "G" the entire round,
made me feel like a pimp or something.

and there is basically no round where I won't be asked about my name if the squad leader doesn't know me.
a typical start of a round is like:
SL:"gewuuu gweeeee gewaaa wgweeyyy....shit! how do you pronounce your name??"
ME:"*sad face* just say gwai:"
on one side it's hilarious on the other sometimes really annoying

[Tit4Tat]

__________ <-- pronounce that, seriously.

[Steeps]

__________ <-- pronounce that, seriously.

Hey "Underscore!"

[Tit4Tat]

Hey "Underscore!"

touche, but still fkd up if you ask me.

[Twat]

I agree.

[Vista]

Can't get simpler than mine.

[Psyko]

the nicknames we chose years ago were limited to availability, but it's our identities now, much like how we had no choice over our real life names.

That was super deep man

[MaSSive]

What is the proposal? Force all to use some patterns? This is not your milsim clan, and you cant change history



I do agree, that weird nicknames are ...weird. Bare with it, or dont.

[Spec]

I can barely remember mine.

I'm pretty sure you chose to shorten your nickname here.

Many of the less capable players only respond to their names, not roles. Very annoying when SLing.

This a thousand times. Especially when you get squad leaders that don't respond to their squad name.

[sweedensniiperr]

people still call me "sweden" from time to time..

[Sergeant.Roland.]

I totally agree with this... Every time the Squad Leader wants to assign me an objective is a pain in the *** for him to call me up...

It's like:

-Serge...

-Sergean...

-Oh, whatever that name means... Move to the mark point...

[PatrickLA_CA]

Well Sergeant is an English word it's like he isn't even trying. What should we name ourselves? One, Two, Three, Dog, Bird.
I agree that there are some ridiculous names such as @332$T!3 but most of the names just require to be read once to find a quick and easy way to pronounce them. For example I'd just call you Roland if I can't pronounce Sergeant.

[Sergeant.Roland.]

No worries, Patrick... I'm just mocking.

I know that we can't put our real names in a videogame, maybe you could do that; but nicknames or funny nicknames, are part of gaming...

Cheers!

[CR8Z]

I've been called so many different things, and I acknowledge and answer to each and every one of them. I love it.

As some have said, I've been rolling with this name for over a decade now. I tried to change it once, but I couldn't handle the ridicule from my buddies.
