To be honest, the current template, namely this one, is fairly boring in comparison to our other templates:

Basically, I came up with this one as a replacemant. What does everyone think?

The "outstanding" and "editors" need to be set off with a comma, as "editors" is direct adress. As for the "fucking," I don't care, but others might. -- CoD addict (talk) - 01:17, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out the bit about the inverted commas, I missed that. Seijana 01:20, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

I like it, it's nice, clean, and has an awesome quote from an awesome game.-Diegox223 ^Talk 01:22, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Honestly, I like it. Its clean, slick and has a well put quote, like many of our templates. ^{Talk? Edits} 01:49, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Are there any other possible pictures? I think I would like to see one where Roebuck is shooting or is at least more focused on. Poketape ^Talk 04:06, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Comment — I didn't really like that it said "Out-fucking-standing" --Cakemix 05:15, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Support — I love it. But maybe another picture would be more appropriate... NCD ^{Эй, что рифмы!} 08:39, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

I'll see If I can get another picture then. Seijana 12:04, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Comment — As good as it is and as fitting a template as it is, I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be with a new user loading up a page to find a swear on it. Smuff^{[citation provided]} 17:06, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose — I don't like the prominent f-word. Not a nice impression, at all. --Callofduty4 18:00, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Well if everyone is so offended by the word fuck (which is a little odd given how prominently it features in this wiki), we cloikd always use expletives (eg: F#&king). Seijana 19:29, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Neutral leaning towards Oppose — While on one hand I can see why people would prefer this, I really don't think this template is necessary. I'm getting a bit sick of seeing templates with modified quotes, rather than a simple generic message. Sgt. S.S. 20:11, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Neutral leaning towards Support — I see the point in the new header, seeing as most of the other templates of the same type as this, such as the spoiler template, have quotes on them. However, I'd maybe go for a different quote, or censor out the swearing, because it seems wrong to have a great article with a RfFA template at the top that includes swear words in it, and a better quality image HeatedPete_ - 17:34, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Having said that, however, I'd be more than annoyed to see another Black Ops theme. Smuff^{[citation provided]} 17:39, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Hua Smuff. By having Black Ops themes for everything, it'll result in all the templates needing changes every time a new CoD is released, which is a waste of time. Keep it simple, and have one, good quote for each template HeatedPete_ -
