So according to the map description on Fool's Road, the British operation to capture the militia leader is called "Operation Firefly."

In a nutshell: lame.

Military Operations should have awesome names in order to boost troop morale. Things like Operation Overlord, Operation Barracuda, Operation DesertStorm, not "Operation Sissyfly."

Therefore I propose that the attack against the militia be renamed has "Operation Headshot". Badass? You be the judge.

Wasn't dragonfly the name of the weapons dealers or something like that ?

its in fact Dragonfly, without any operation

Thought it was Dragonfly.

Either way, still not as cool as "headshot"

I like Dragonfly, let's stick with that. The notorious arms-dealer is only known as the Dragonfly, because it symbolizes him being most elusive.

In the briefing, it designates this whole attack as "Operation Dragonfly", it isn't the guy's name.

Military is not supposed to be "cool". The commercials may be going for that but not serious military operations. How badass does Iraqi Freedom sound? Theres plenty more for you hate as well.

Operation Menace, Op Ironclad, Op Atilla, Op Chengiz Khan, Op Flaming Dart, Op WatchTower, Op Cerberus, Op Stalemate, Op Desert Storm, all of which were real operations with pretty sweet names. Military Terminology doesn't have to be boring, you know.

You do know that those are all heavy combat operations and not peacekeeping ones. Go to where eve you found those and look for peacekeeping missions and youll see how hardcore they sound. By the way Dragonfly is a peacekeeping operation.

Operation Headshot...

Im sorry, but even Snipers would blush at how lame that really is.

"Kay.. Operation BOOM HEADSHOT is a go! Lol!!!!2"

Most of the other operation names were named after great leaders, operation descriptions (generalised), tactical names, or mythology.

"headshot" does not count in any of those.

That sounds epic just reading it in my head.

operation market garden, sounds like a trip to the grocery store.
operation sea lion, A Sea-lion makes me think of a furry marrine mammal that plays with shells.
operation paper clip, the logical escalation would be, operation stapler.
operation cactus. no comment.
operation Peter Pan, look at me! I can fly!
operation Phibriglex, is that a word?
operation Menu, Watier, bill please.

there are plenty of operation with decidedly un-cool names.

This thread fails royally.

Oh I lol'd so hard!

I would like to leave the maps "names" to the creator of the map...
Since they put all the effort into making something as cool as a map.
Antonious_Bloc.... Make your own maps so you can name it.

Firefly acually sounds cool

Rhino is a very good mapper too.
^you did make fools road right?

OGT rules anyway!

As far is understand, isnt it the US that name there Operations using badass names and UK uses the NATO alphabet or something like that?
