Co-op Map OpFor Names

[Peace-=Of-God=-]

  I just ran across this thread at the AA forum and thought it interesting to note here for reference. Where did the [Dev] team come up with all those crazy OpFor names for Interdiction and SF SnakePlain? A player by the name of h0d0 appears to have come up with a very simple yet plausible answer to that question:

Actually, many of them appear to be anagrams. This is by no means all inclusive, but here's a number of the OpFor names and likely/possible source.

    Magdun = Gun-Mad
    Votnoluk = Not-Vulkon ?
    Maada = Adam ?
    Nam-Finraty = Infantryma(n), Army-Infant
    Ogriv = Virgo
    Seraos = Serosa
    Revden = Nerved, Vender, Denver
    Sweitt = Twiste
    Redilos = Soldier
    Sutrau = Taurus
    Ignemi = Gemini
    Poscrion = Scorpion
    Salta = Atlas
    Naemir = Marine, Airmen
    Ruat-Cien = Centauri
    Surgatias = Sagitarius
    Sinseem = Nemesis
    Srebmach = Chambers
    Odi-Rasiris = I Radio Sirs ?
    Nagichim = Michigan
    Cilbup = Public
    Ticsibu = Biscuit
    Tnuemcod = Document
    Snoi-Tacilpap = Applications, Captain-Spoil - (many other possibilities exist for that one)

Anyway, maybe the folks that know how to use the editor can dig out a list of all the Opfor names for this thread.

I wonder how they came up with the name George Steele??? ;D

[Learner-=Of-God=-]

Those are very interesting names.

Did anyone ever notice that the OPFOR version of Hooah is "Urah"? Say that out loud a couple times. Do I see a possible jab at the Marines?
