Hi Guys,

I write instead of Bixer.Me and him we were playing on Jolt last night and for some reason his name changed to someone else but he didn't do anything coz his name was still on the server but he played with sneak or caboose i know it sounds strange but it was like that.So how the hell could that happen?? Got any ideas??

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Someone impersonating. If you join a server, and your exact name is already in use, Halo picks a random name out of a list it has, Like Caboose or Stumpy. It's an old trick, it ruins reputations and there is nothing we can do about it.

This is to avoid any user confusion as to who killed who.

It is also where the character names in RvB come from.

You can see them all by choosing the profile "default" on halo xbox.
