Is Salvation Ops going to stay the name for the team even with people adopting Diamond Augs?
(I'm not pining for a change, both names are neat I was just wondering)

Diamond Augs doesn't even make sense. Solid isn't in Diamond Dogs!

Ideally, a tag-team name will make more or less immediate sense to someone who hasn't played the game one or both the competitors come from. Salvation Ops is clean, most people know Snake and Jensen are sneaky special ops who make a habit of saving the world.

I first heard about the Diamond Dogs when Diamond Augs was put forward by chat and still don't really know what it means.

Chat reserves the right to call tag teams what they will, regardless of the official name.
I miss when Barret and Flint had the manly men theme.

Since MGSV is the flavour of the month I imagine that dumb fucking Diamond Augs name will fade pretty soon. I hope. If there's a team that doesn't need a pun name, which as Dose mentions doesn't make any fucking sense anyway, it's Snake and Jensen. That name is so fucking stupid, it might be worse than "We Are Awesome" chants for me at the moment.

Same here really. I mean I think in general its better when teams their own theme rather than just using one of the two character's normal themes (even if its something small like the addition for the Mega Man jingle to Eggman's theme for The Practice). I thought that theme suited those two pretty well and was honestly kind of surprised when they didn't keep using it.

It's fine to throw a fun punny name at a tag team every so often but I think the tone of Snake and Jensen's plot was serious enough to warrant a serious name. And Diamond Augs ain't exactly lighting the world on fire anyway. It's just.... pretty good.

Also, guy above me - Was Armstrong only a state senator? I thought he was a full-on senator. Armstrong being a state senator would be fucking lame.

You are right, he was a state senator who then got appointed to the US Senate and in Rising is actually a presidential nominee. So yeah he's doing pretty well politically.

Ahh, okay, that makes sense. Picturing Armstrong dealing with like, a local zoning ordinance for a bakery is a great mental image.

Since Gameshark can change everything, Salvation Op can be renamed to "Sneakman" and entance theme can be changed to the corresponding Jet Set Radio music.
