So all in all Dragonfly is pretty badass.
dragonflies date back to age of the dinosaur, they are indeed awesome. The best operation name should have a background and a story to them while still being elusive.
Dragonflies start off as pretty dam evil creatures like the picture below before they can fly. Could be a good name for fools tbh as it has a heli pad with no heli..

Who cares about the map name when there's such a terrible story behind it? Really, the idea of sending thousands of armed men (represented by 64 players) to break up a private militia is quite silly. Wouldn't killing the leader of the militia fall under the purview of clandestine forces, rather than the British Army (especially so far into the Eastern European area of influence)?
If the Mestia series really did happen, the British presence in Georgia would cause some major diplomatic trouble with Russia, trouble that could quite possibly lead to World War III in the hands of the wrong leaders at the wrong time (not to suggest anything of the current European leaders).
Anyway, I'll get off the soapbox for now. All I'm trying to say is that the name is irrelevant as long as the circumstances behind it are as absurd as they are in the Mestia map series.

Its so absurd that it almost warrants an equally absurd name, like Operation Headshot.
Or maybe even "Operation Chocolate Thunder."
F-yea.

Awesome... this would obviously become the new menu music, and as an easter egg we would use chocolate bars as field dressings.
Na seriously... for starters it's not "Firefly" it's "Dragonfly". Also the whole issue about what sounds awesome is pretty subjective as most people have pretty different tastes. I personally think it's a cool name. Not too over the top and not too mundane.
But overall... who really cares? The map could be named "IronTaxi's Map" and people would still play it.
