I like "Colt-51" after the one firearm that comes naturally to the hand of anyone who holds it - the Colt 1851 Navy Revolver - lightning fast, deadly and well balanced.

I went with Bull Frog because my original callsign ( the one I had used in MW4 NBT league ) was taken. Doesn't really matter to me, it was something I had picked up while playing Q3A and Unreal Tournament all those many years ago. Not sad to see it go.

My thought process for Bull Frog was like this : Callsigns are usually monikers that stick to a person because of some personality quirk. For instance, I once saw a documentary on air force pilots where one of them had the callsign Slag. It sounded cool at first until he explained it was S.L.A.G. and it stood for Screams Like A Girl. It was given to him by his squadron mates as a form of gentle ribbing.

So to make it short, "Bull Frog" stands for my Pilot's cultural background (Which I happen to share with him) It must be quite rare in the Capellan Confederation.

...and besies, who among the Mechwarrior Community would dream of being refered to as a small, gentle and peacefull swamp dwelling amphibian ? The likelyhood of it already being taken was nill.

I might even get to put an updated version of my old MW4 decal on my mech. ( it was an angry looking frog )

[Lokisonn]

I picked Lokisonn (the son of loki) cos its nice to have the god of mischief on your side and the Hellbringer (Loki) mech is a personal fav. Would have prefered a 2 syllable calls sign (for easy and quick calling) but Loki was already taken. Would have gone for Kepha too (refrence from the bible as Peter - the rock, solid and dependable) but I've been using Lokisonn longer

[Parrot32]

I am Parrot!!!! Hear me BRAWK!!!!! xD

I acquired this nickname in highschool as i had a habit of drinking powerade mixed with captain morgan's parrot bay coconut rum! (still do and yes this makes me a young pup ) but i've used this as my handle on forums, military, mmo's, xbl, and pretty much everything. I have had ppl not even know what my real name is in real life haha!

[SnowDragon]

Snow = Cold as Ice
Dragon = Hard, armoured thing that kills you at range, and up close, and steals your women.

Had the name since I was six Been known by it ever since. In the end though it's just what you want to be known by.

[rolling thunder]

I'm using rolling-thunder because i use it everywhere else!

[Grahad Mills]

For me it will be nagetier.

In early years on the net i changed my name quite often. Then i found the name Naga Sadow, from the good old time of sith empire and the first hyperspace wars in Star Wars.

But i didn't meant to be as it was. I had the bad habbit to eat a lot on TeamSpeak with activatet mic, so everyone heard me crunch through food and so from Naga it was not far to the german word Nager and then it went to nagetier. Sometimes also nageltier (yeah like nail) but that is only in Fear Combat (pinned enough of my friends to walls the the penetrator)

so i'll stick with nagetier although the correct Call Sign for my Pilots name would be Jackal 00 or genocide

Salaryman

To 99% of everyone, Charles Martel looks like one, talks like one, and dresses like one.

[Kycer]

[LoneBrave]

Zilong- means "Young Dragon"

If you've ever read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, then his bada**ery during the Battle at Changban should tell you why

[Mechanus]

The Callsign I used in previous PLs, and the one I am most likely to use for MWO, is Fen Shu which means 'division of (or by) numbers'.

[Shalmyan Moonsong]

I have used the Character name Shalmyan Moonsong for a good 12 years from World of Warcraft, Star Trek: Online, and Anarchy Online, and it has been my online handle for just as long, so my call sign will be Moonsong.

[Dan Baxter]

Sherlock.
I always enjoyed the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories.
Also stating the obvious will be much more fun.

[rollermint]

I use a different nick everytime I try a new game sooo yeah. I usually roll with a group of RL friends so it doesn't really matter with regards to keeping in touch.

[Sky Blue Boy]

Wonder if you can start MWO play just as "Recruit Johnson" or "Recruit Smith"; after all shouldn't your buddies and lance mates have a say in giving you your call sign?

[Vermyn]

Stickin with Vermyn....The Ares convention's rules are for wussies!

ocassionally will go with BoogieMan - given to me by the good ole boyz at Fort Knox, KY.

[Sal Trebov]

I'd love to go by "Magus". It's a derivative of mage or wizard. Magic-user, essentially. My dad earned the nickname "Wizard" back in the 80's, and to paraphrase Dr. Orpheus from the Venture Brothers, "Wizard" is kinda hokey.

The bottom line, though, is that I'm wanting to see what names I get through actually playing. That way it means something other than a label I give myself. If Magus fits, then awesome! If not... well, in college I got the name "Shooter" when bowling, due to the way I shot the ball down the gutter almost every damn time.

Considering I'll be playing a Hunchback for a while (given the list of mechs available at medium weight), and my general ability with autocannons was ****-poor back in MW2 and 3, I *MAY* be earning the name Shooter after all...

[Soviet Alex]

Like any proper callsign, I didn't pick mine. I'm not even sure how I acquired the nickname "Soviet Alex" at uni. But I've been Soviet Alex for so long that some of my friends don't know my family name. When I set up my first e-mail account back in the '90's, the default choices were rubbish, so I went for sovietalex@.... It's a good brand identity. I even paint little red stars on my mechs. In combat, just shorten it to Soviet.

[Frozen Winter]

Well Frozen is what my cadets used to call me. It's stuck with me for most of my life. I might go with that. Hmm or Preacher. Guys I used to play poker with named me that after a long night of drinking and gambling.

[Hitty40]

Banzai was what I was known by in the days of MW4 since I used to always run right into short-range close combat. No morale break, no surrender.
