What is this game called? edit

Is it 'Body Count' or 'Bodycount'? The article's not clear, but I'm pretty sure 'Bodycount' is the name of Codemasters' 2011 first-person shooter and this one is supposed to be 'Body Count'. I have little to base that on, though. 109.224.247.180 (talk) 09:10, 12 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

I imagine there's a fair amount of citogenesis on this one. Sources of the era all use Bodycount (no space, as used in Menacer): [1], [2]. But recent websites use the space ([3][4]), likely due to following the conventions they saw in use on Wikipedia (it used to have a space in the article). In any event, it makes the most sense to use what our reliable sources use, and unless there was a reason to add the space, the era's reviews and the official title use no space. czar  01:52, 15 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
Eh, I followed up and it looks like I was wrong. Sega Visions uses the space: [5] as did The Washington Post. Mean Machines used the space in their preview, and said they were reviewing the game (with a space) but it doesn't show up in the subsequent issue. Anyway, I'll change it back to space. czar  02:28, 15 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
