So I had an idea, a pretty simple one for Bungies next big thing whatever it may be. Assuming Bungie stays with its legendary multiplayer experience and keeps the service tag portion of customization of course.

I was thinking what if in the next game our service tags (rule would apply to xbox live accounts only) that our service tags be globally unique. A tag that is linked to an account indefinatly. You have the option to change it but are cautioned that once you change it you might not get it back. If somebody where to choose one that is already taken a messege similar to choosing xbl gamertags would appear.

Now for the purpose of the many millions of xbox live users unique means the tag will have to be slightly different than it is now. Right now there you can use up to 4 characters letters and numbers. If my math serves me correctly that means there would only be 1,727,603 combinations. Obviously not enough. I don't see what would be bad for 5 characters and add in special characters to the numbers. Whatever is on the xbox keyboard at best. That would be waay more than enough.

By special characters I mean things like @#$%& and accented letters. Not punctuation marks quotes, slashes ect.

And lastly reserved tags. Halo 3 had reserved tags that we couldn't use. Perhaps similar to how nameplates work today Bungie could hold contests for special reserved tags. Or even tags 2.0. Instead of just plain text, you could be awarded a "flashy" Tag to glows brightly on your name in the Lobby, like word art for example.

Just some thoughts but the rest is for you to discuss
