Custom Class names in Modern Warfare 2

by sovietdancnbear

Unlike some of my contemporaries I name my classes after pop culture references which i do to most things the fact that my child isn't named after a book character or an obscure character in a television show is cooler heads prevailing.

Unlike some of my contemporaries I name my classes after pop culture references which i do to most things the fact that my child isn't named after a book character or an obscure character in a television show is cooler heads prevailing. However my custom classes are named for such odd things, such as: 
 
My primary class is called Vera, after Jayne Cobb's prized gun in Firefly for no reason in particular. It typically features the assult rifle I'm grinding with at the time and its my generalist class most times. For example at the moment we're running with:
 
ACN w/ Holographic and scilencer 
Striker w/ Red Dot 
Symtex 
Smoke 
Bling Pro 
Stopping Power Pro 
Steady Aim Pro 
 
Next we have a hold out name from COD4, Rocket Shoes. This term comes from an insides joke with my college buddies that involves a romantic evening with our public computer lab, a right hand, and a dude we're not too fond of. My friends assure me that whenever one of the crew would approach the hopeless romantic he would damn near sprint to avoid us. Hence Rocket Shoes.  
 
The class is your typcial flanker class, stealthy and sub-machine guns preferably with a silencer. At the moment: 
  
Mini-Uzi w/Red Dot and Silencer 
Magnum 
Symtex 
Smoke 
Bling Pro 
Stopping Power Pro 
Ninja Pro/Steady Aim Pro 
 
Next is another holdout named Boomstick. Named for Bruce Campbell's adorable shotgun/left hand from Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. Previously it was my one stop shop for Shotguns, now with them regulated to the secondary slot, any class can be boomstick, this time though I like the "noob tube" Behold: 
 
ACN w/ Grenade Launcer 
Striker w/Red Dot 
Claymore 
Stun 
Scavenger Pro 
Danger Close Pro 
Sit Rep 
 
Fork Stab is a reference to the McPoyles from Always Sunny in Philadelphia's when one stabbed the other with a fork screaming, of course, Fork Stab! And my stabber class was named. But then I decided that I wasn't really that guy, given I haven't earned my tactical knife for anything and I play call of duty for the guns if i I wanted to stab people I think i'd run with Ezio over in Assassin's Creed 2. The name however is too awesome to leave behind so it stuck and became my deathmatch class. 
 
M4A1 w/ FMJ and Motion Sensor 
Magnum 
Frag 
Stun 
Bling Pro 
Stopping Power Pro
Steady Aim Pro 
 
Finally, both because its the 5th and final on my list but also because its the final thing i named is my Hardcore Team DM class and anti-air class is Winona, named for John Chriton's gun in Farscape that was named for Winona Rider. I was watching the series and found it hilarious so there we have it. On top of Anti-Air and Hardcore Team DM this is also my counter sniper and honestly the closest I'll ever come to sniping when I'm not playing Borderlands.  
 
M16 w/ACOG and Scilencer 
Javelin 
Claymore 
Smoke 
Bling Pro 
Cold Blooded (check it and see) 
Ninja Pro
