Message:	[quote author=davidline board=general thread=54 post=388 time=1295630605]I've been thinking about this idea for a bit now. But who says you actually have to use the name "Starcraft" in the name? Sure if Blizzard likes it they'll add it on like Activision made Modern Warfare do, but it doesn't have to be. It could be something like the name of the expansion kinda thing, like"The Recovery of The Xel'Naga" I don't know if this is your plan, since I'm just in my 2nd Semester of majoring in game design, but it can be a sound plan that makes sense. In reality this might attract more people then just naming it World of Starcraft because it is such a unique name. I'm sure most of the world by now has played Starcraft at one point or another and they'll get hooked on if this gets on MMORPG's list of games, hell if Blizzard franchises it and makes commercials, "The Recovery of The Xel'Naga" would also be an exciting trailer. Kinda goes into the mysery of why the game is named for the focus of the expansion. So this is my .02 cents of this topic, hell if I help out at all I'll be more then happy, making games is my passion right now, and I'm trying my best to learn both on my own and college.[/quote] Expand

I don't think Blizzard actually has Starcraft under lockdown, because if I recall there is a line of boats using the Starcraft name, and they were around before Blizzard.

Edit: Nevermind, it's Starcraft Marine

Not saying we need a different name if we can stick with 'Starcraft Universe' but perhaps if we can't have 'Starcraft' in it maybe just 'Korpulu Sector'. just a thought to dwell on.

Just call it WOSC and get this nice project running full speed again.

If you're allowed to keep StarCraft in it, how about "StarCraft Skirmish" or "StarCraft Arena" (or just "SC Skirmish/Arena"). Skirmish and Arena both capture the feel of your preview video I think.

Someone posted SC Heroes a few comments back, that's pretty good too. Along those lines, SC Front Line(s) or Battle Front wouldn't be bad either.

"Starcraft Universe" would be nice but could easily be confused with "Stargate Universe" - and since it's additionally in the same genre (scifi) that wouldn't be so great.

How about "Starcraft Platoon", "Starcraft Congregation" or "Starcraft Throng"?

^ Hell, why not "Starcraft Large Group of People?" That's much catchier.

Posted by Durren on Jan 24, 2011, 11:59am

Um, this whole discussion was started by me and on the first post i suggested the name Starcraft Universe... I'm not sure what you see that as, but i see it as them taking my suggestion and applying it to the actual game...
