I didn't find this in the FAQ , neither Modern Search ,so im gonna ask , while your gamertag is signed into Windows Live , then you go play H2V , can you do like several profiles , with other names than your gamertag , or you can only use your gamertag name while playing Multiplayer ?

I'm pretty sure you can only use a registered Gamertag as your online profile. In other words, you would have to create a new gamertag if you did not favor your current one. It's very similar to the way you sign into Xbox Live. So single gamertag = single profile.

EDIT: Straight from the FAQ:

"With a Silver membership, you will be allowed a single gamertag, a common gamerscore and and gamer profile, single player achievements, private chat via text and voice, a common friends list and online presence, and a browsing list. With a Gold membership (which you do have to pay for), you have everything the Silver membership offers, matchmaking, and multiplayer achievements."

BTW: One word: COMMA!

Cheers :-)

I think it will be like STEAM/COUNTERSTRIKE. You make a universal account and then each game has it's own set of profiles.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I'm pretty sure that you have to register the cd-key to your gamertag, so it'll probably be one account.

Except that it isn't, I'm afraid. You have one account, and one account only. :/

No, you can always edit the settings for that particular Account/Gamertag... Just not the name. If you have Halo 2 for the Xbox, I'm sure it will be similar in that respect. Signing into a particular profile/gamertag before the startup menu comes up, and then going to campaign, multiplayer, settings/options etc...

I don't think your CD-Key will be linked to your Gamertag. What would be the point? If it were to limit the number of names you have, then what about those who share a computer with family members who play the same game? They would have to share a Gamertag? Unlikely. BTW, I'm not trying to be a condescending ass, in any way :-) If it does sound that way...

Cheers.
