It's a by-product of the mass of 12-14 year olds playing CoD online. They are reluctant to choose normal ID's. As long as they stay away from TL (generally 13 year olds don't stay around, anyway) I don't mind it; I never played CoD (or any other game generally populated by adolescents) anyway.

Edit: In response to epishade: recently I saw a PBU (Previously Banned User) called NIGGERCANCER420. I don't think he had much going for him anyway.


If all of them put the xXx before and after their name, does't it make it "normal"?

Wouldn't that mean they have a reluctance to be unique?

They don't have any creativity, so they see what everyone else does and just copy it. That's my hypothesis.

I've had names like xXFangXx, wildfang and rampantfang. But I've settled on the handle "RampagE" or "rampagE", which I picked up in my Cod4 years. Thank goodness for free BNet name changes ;D.

I have never understood it. In Halo everyone would also put MLG or MLGpro in their name, as if that suddenly made them better players.

If anyone knows GunZ and played it for a while there was this craze with adjective/noun names. People would actually buy/sell original names. I sold the name 'Focal' for 5 bucks and was offered $10 for 'Aquatic' but it was my main character (given by a friend) and a pretty high level lol


GunZ ahhhh, good times. Such a fun shooter fast paced shooter. I spent so many days perfecting k-style and leading your shots.

I've always hated it. I try my best to do a name with proper English. Also people who do 420, 69 or 666 in their name just makes me think "either they have NO idea what that means and it seemed cool, or they know what it means and think it makes them cool. Either way, it's stupid. I Have 2-3 aliases that I use, this one is almost NEVER used, if it is, I change the second "e" to an "i" and done. That's what I did on XBL.

As for GunZ, that was an interesting, but easy game. Assault rifle or dual pistols, and a sword. Mix between Kstyle and shooting threw most higher tier players off.
Who is this guy? ^
