How exactly ahould we should call/abbreviate the game?

**Vissewalde rex de Gerzika** · October 24, 2012, 02:27 PM

So, how exactly should we call it? I have seen multiple variations on this forum, but i think a standard needs to be established, im also going to try and add a poll for this thread, but since i haven't done this before, it may or may not work. Here are the options i have come up with that doesn't sound ridiculous. Feel free to add any you have.

Rome II Total War/RIITW

Total War Rome II/TWRII

Rome Total War II/RTWII

My personal favorite when saying/writing the full name is Rome II Total War, because it seems more natural to say it, but when i am going to abbreviate it, the more natural choice for me is RTWII, i dont know why.

Everyone just says Rome II or "says" Rome two. I usually write Rome II, dont think I have written R2 but maybe I have idk. RIITW is too long.

i say rome 2 around the forums but if i want others to know about the game i say rome 2 total war but CA is trying to get the total war first before any title to represent i guess like total war rome 2, total war shogun 2 and so on

R2TW, R2 or Rome 2. CA's new naming policy can go to hell!

I would just say "Rome II" but if I had to choose out of those I'd go with Total War Rome 2. It felt weird saying it at first but after playing Shogun 2 for over a year I got used to it.

Hmm, i should have added just Rome II, but i guess you cant edit polls, so i guess we can just go on without the poll.

Yeah, in speaking I call it "Rome Total War 2" for some reason, but in writing I call it "R2TW"...odd...

Can I call it Shogun Total War to cause confusion?

CA wants its game to be named Total War: Rome II, so the "Total War" franchise shines a little more. If you don't like it, fine, but developers will choose how the game is named. Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty is called like that (duh), not Wings of Liberty: Starcraft II. Deal with it.

Whoa, relax, im just wondering what is everyone calling the game, to see if there is a definitive answer to be had, not force CA to rename the game because some guy on the forums said that this is the better option.

Sure, they can, but they can't expect us to follow suit. As for SC...ehmm... SC always had SC first, they didn't change it to that with the release of WoL.

Starcraft Brood War
Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty
