Subject: Changed Gamertag - Lost Halo 2 History!

I am a living Halo encyclopedia!

I've had this Xbox LIVE account since it launched in November of 2002. I've used it for everything online, including Halo 2 and Halo 3. This account has been linked to bungie.net since Halo 2's launch in 2004.

Some time in 2009 I spent the 800 Microsoft Points to change the gamertag from "Deadly Warrior" to "Begotten Apathy", and doing so seems to have disconnected the link to my tracked Halo 2 statistics. I don't mean to pester you with numbers, but I have over 100,000 kills, less than 50,000 deaths, all from over 9,000 games played online. This doesn't count the hundreds of hours spent in campaign and 3 copies of the game.

At some point, somebody else has acquired the gamertag, I can see his stats for Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. However, when I go to "his" Halo 2 stats, it still shows my 5 years of beauty.

Losing 5 years of dedication is quite depressing, and even more-so when it could have earned me special content in Halo: Reach! Please, I beg of you to help me with this issue. Thankyou for your time.

Your statistics should migrate over to your modified gamertag after playing at least one game of Halo 2 online. Have you tried doing that?

Suck it Red!

I was thinking about changing my gamertag, but I didn't want to if I would lose the medal or w/e Bungie is gonna add to Reach. If you just have to play one game on H2 after you change your gamertag, then I don't have to worry right?

Oh, just play one game?

Honestly, I was afraid to play any because I thought maybe that would overwrite the history all-together and then it would be irreparable.

I really appreciate your help, I hope you can understand my timid nature on this particular situation.

Hmm..can't really help you. I used to play Halo 2 on a different gamertag and then I stopped playing xbox for couple years. Even though my account is deleted by microsoft or whatever they do after its been offline for so long, I can still look at its stats on here(although I might say I sucked bad compared to now, just search up nearbymjolnir)

Really glad you got your stats recovered to your account again. =)
I hate losing something from the past.
Oh the nostalgia.
