There has been a bit of chat recently in FTAG (COD4) about members using different names in game, they tend to change name between maps.

Is this OK?

What do they gain by name changing?

I've had a quick search around the forums and found this.

  • Need to be registered on the website for 1 month and have 20 posts.
  • Your in-game identity (such as GUID) must not be banned by anti-cheat services such as pbbans.com
  • You must not be in another clan
  • Your game name and forum names must match
  • Have read, understand, and agree to abide by the XI Code of Conduct
  • Need to have and use either Steam, Origin, TS, or Discord
  • Need to be 18 years old

 

When I rejoined I asked to keep my gaming id for this forum for continuity and, well that's my nickname.

I don't see any benefits to me changing every other map and wouldn't even think about doing so.

Your thoughts please people , especially those that do have several alias and have good reason for doing it

Either way you are stuck with the weakest link aka Totty>XI<

Members may change their name to whatever, as long as it doesn't conflict with the rules.

Players can change their in-game names, and like Yaccster mentioned as long as it's within the rules.  They can do so for whatever reason, and admins should not call them out if they choose to play under an alias.  However, clan members cannot wear clan tags with any other name other than the one they joined XI with.  They do not have privileges with the alias, such as not getting re-directed if the server is full.

You join a clan for a reason to wear tags so why change your name each map has got me beat( doesn,t change they way you play)except name has changed. Do they try  to use things in game? thinking they won,t get caught? because no one knows who they are.I have notice certain people changing names in  game and have played a lot better .I understand Admins doing so to catch them out.

I understand, I went thru a phase years ago when I was always changing my name,  :secret: I figure if folks don't want others to know it is them, it is their business, but I personally prefer to know who the heck I am shooting at, :2guns:and who the heck is on my team, :cheers:helps with game play imho.  BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, get back in those maps soldiers!  Yeeehaw!  :animier:

I do get that certain players don't get on with other players and change their name to go undercover as it were.

But most people know who the other aliases are anyway, so no real gain.

Also there is the loss of Intel if that player doesn't keep their team informed so that they can stay undercover.

Maybe it's just me in my rose tinted world thinking its only a game and  everyone should just work together to get the job done.

I change my name so I can play incognito for awhile. I love to start destroying SUCKAS and love the mayhem it causes while they try to figure out who is destroying them.

Most of the players here can tell who you are by your style of game play regardless of what you come disguised as. If they don't know AusiROO will be there to tell everyone.

Just take your beatings like a man,...Sucka.

It doesn't affect me in the slightest, I was asking the question as there was a lot of chat about it on the server.

I thought its best to ask the question and then people know what the overall consensus is
