Um I am trying to change the name for "Team 1" in the download screen on battle.net. I don't want it to say Forec 1, I want another label instead. I tried doing it in that window where you create forces, but it doesn't display in the download screen. Help plz.

Check the "Use Custom Forces" box.

Um thank you captain obvious. I did that... It still displays as Force 1 and Force 2 in the download screen on bnet, even though it is changed.

It worked in the beta but stopped working in the retail. Not sure if we needed to do anything else or if it's just a bug. I don't believe I've seen any maps that has gotten that to work properly.

I heard it has something to do with bliz not wanting offensive language to be displayed in the waiting room.

But its probably a bug, like just about everything else...

I seriously doubt that, you can still use offensive language anywhere else, or could change computer player's name to be offensive.

In any case, this is a bnet bug/missing feature. There have been short periods where it did infact show the custom force names, (happened while testing 2 of my maps) but that usually went away rather quickly, so blizz must've hit some kind of snag implementing it. Look for it in the next patch though.

Ya, there's a guy in the Bnet forums that was complaining two times a day that it wasn't fixed yet.

On the subject of forces... I was wondering if it is possible to either force the race and not the teams or force the teams but not the race??
