Team Names?

[VenomousNinja]

Actually that isn't a bad idea.

Spectre Stealth Agency Spies, and Grizzly Mercenary inc....

Or something less lame.

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Bahamut Inc.
Dirt-Tech Inc.
XNR (not an acronym, just a name)
Ven Inc.
Leviathan Inc.
Mjöllnir
Jörmungandr Inc. (spies)
WÃ,,“land
Asguard PMC (or Asgard) (mercs?)
Niflheimr (spies?)
Tyr
Vili

Yeah. Now choose something that isn't lame.

I like Leviathan Inc.

Mercs: North-American Reactive Defense Squad or NARDS in short.

North Europeans would be so much cooler.

Seconded.
How about NERDS vs GEEKS?

G.A.R.G.A.M.E.L. Vs. S.M.U.R.F.S ?

[Kurbutti]

Since I've gotten the feeling PS holds a pursuit of being newbie-appealing and what so ever, thereby I might dare suggest that we simply use something as blunt as Offense and Defense, not only due to their considerable descriptional power, but also because of the fact that epic names bear no actual meaning at all in terms of gameplay or anything.

How about having it just this simple:
Mercs// Anti-Infiltraterz
Spies// Infiltraterz

HA
HA
::)

[Savior20061]

Boo!
If you guys honestly don't feel like naming them, then some generic description is in order.
Spies: Covert-Ops.
Mercs: High-Tech Security Force
But seriously,

I still think SHARD is deh best.

Appealing to newbies? I personally try to make a better tutorial, and descriptions of 'best-uses' for gadgets. Apart from that, I think we're still pretty hardcore. Don't confuse accessibility and usability with targetting newbs.

Offense and Defense sound ok in theory, but that doesn't leave the option open for Offensive Mercs and Defensive Spies. That's one of the reasons why we don't have a story: anything is possible and that is up to the mapper.

Nah, I am preferential to SHART, myself.

[Savior20061]

And what, pray tell, does SHART stand for Mr. Mic.

An idea being more self-explanatory completes the thought towards the objective of being more accessible, therefore more useful.

Currently, spies cannot win if they won't make an effort towards the objectives.
Currently, mercs will win only by not allowing this to happen.

These are the two main strategies that govern the nature of the game. Whatever the means by wich the goal is achieved, are called tactics, which can truly vary as much as the world allows them to. Whether these are agressive or passive will not alter the fact that they would both have contribute towards a certain goal, and the goals of the spies are opposite to that of the mercs, by nature.

Although if by this you mean that you actually acknowledge the possibility where mercs are the ones tasked with neutralizing objectives, I must say I'm utterly intrigued by the thought.
