Squad name customisation

Not come up on search, But could we increase the amount of characters that you can use. or maybe have some icons maybe for Inf Armour. Jets or something alike. A|country flag for language would be nice.

have that Hardcoded feeling coming

More than likely, I've seen it said time and time again that all squad & VOIP coding is of the hard variety.

You'd kinda hope at least those extra few characters would be possible, seems to be enough room in the squad selection screen and plenty enough on the best squad board, i imagine that part at least has already been looked at.

Is this really necessary though? Is it going to add to the gameplay? Are people going to stop playing WoW and move over to PR because of this? Sounds like a lot of work for very little return, to be honest.

hehhe :D

I can see it know, teabag will be replaced with LEWT!

There is little point imo, most nationalities seem to understand the word TANK, or ENG TANK etc

Whats wrong with doing both? I can...

Yeah if possible do it (unless devs have something really cool and important they're working on...then go ahead ^.^)but this would be cool, although it seems like a resuggestion

Well it doesnt sound like much, from what i know of programming it wont be the hardest thing in the world. Though im most likely going to fail my computing exam so not sure in a position to say much.

I regularly run out of characters when trying to name squads. Half a squad's title is gone if you try to lable it as Eng VOIP + Mumble. A flag, a VOIP icon, a mumble icon would save a TON of characters, leaving you tons of space for "Inf" or "Defend" or whatever info it would be useful to convey.

Best squad name ever is Blow"****"up

But like voip I doubt you can do much with this.
