"Future Soldier" sounds really dumb

Is it just me, or is "Future Soldier" a really dumb name? It's 2010, y'all. "Future Soldier" sounds like an 80's NES game.

Right you are. Especially for a game already taking place in the future (In past iterations).

Well you know...

H.A.W.X.

Future Soldier is a pretty stupid name, but somehow I like it.

I dont see your point, H.A.W.X. has an 'X' in it so it is both awesome and extreme !
But yes it seems the people at Ubisoft have a problem giving their games good names... *cough* R.U.S.E.

Does what it says on the tin, it's a good name.

Saying that, GRAW was set in the mid 10's so really that's the future.

There's so many dumb names in video games, I don't find it worth pointing out anymore.

Everytime I see Future Soldier I think of this

You'll get used to it, just like 'Modern Warfare'.

'Ghost Recon' is still a great title on its own. All of this near-future stuff is garbage anyway.

What happens if they make Future Warfare?

Yeah I would rather have them name it "Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 3" than "Future Soldier" sounds like a name that would be used on an 8-bit game.

Should have been Future Soldier X, right?

Yeah, the name's real bad.

@Scooper:
Awesome. Now that's gonna be what I'LL think about everytime I hear this game's name.

To think this game was actually ghost recon. Ubisoft really fucked this series up,same with Rainbow Six. Theres like no good tactical shooters anymore.,or am I just not looking hard enough.

Glad someone else understands. And to think I has some sliver of hope for this game.

Guess I'll keep playing Ghost Recon 1.

Dude are you kidding me? GRAW 1-2 are amazing tactical games. and Rainbow 6 Vegas 1-2 are also really really good.

I agree, GRAW 1/2 are both very, very tactical. Rainbow Six is good, but I prefered RS3 and Black Arrow.

It could be worse hopefully the characters are not as dry as the previous games
