I had the thought of being able to personalize the message somebody got when you kill them. For example, instead of seeing "You were sniped by (insert name here)" the dead player would see "You were dome-checked by (insert name here)" The possibilities are endless. I would love some feedback.

I like the standard ones. It tells you how you were killed, making you able to alert your team of a possible sniper presense and where not to go.

This just seems like icing on the cake, and isnt really needed.

No, okay? Everyone already gets pissed off when it says the normal message, and with the trash talking (aka "no scope -blam!- *teabags dead body*), customized death messages would add to the fury.

ain't gonna happen...you'd see stuff like off the "naked chick" (name of the guy) mod on Halo... like when you kill yourself it says " *name* f'd up" ... it just wouldn't work.

Personally, I don't want to see "(Insert name here) has TOTALTY PWNXOrED YOUU!!!" everytime some 6 year old kills me. Maybe in custom games only, I'd like it.

i'm not talking about xbox live because i don't have it

Ah, in that case- I'm all for it :)

I like the idea. My friends and I do that anyways, it makes it more fun. And besides it will take away the ever infamous," You were killed by Your Mom" and all the other names out there that are made for pure stupidity.

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

"-blam!-" "Owns" and "Sucks" would only be added.

No.

how about "(name here) has just been mugged by (you)!" after you assasinate someone

A good one would be "(insert name here) turned you into street pizza" when you splatter somebody.

Dawn of the Dead video Here
6 Minutes of Hell video here

Stupid idea that would only add a level on immaturity to the game.
