Can't change my service tag to AV49

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

The game won’t let me… It pops up with an error, and I can change it to other things, so why not AV49? I even tried lowercase (so av49).

Because that is an offensive term

Probably just some weird glitch

They probably made a lock on word like Halo.

Are you aware that AV-49 is THE WASP VTOL?

We’re both just genuinely curious

It’s because it considers the combination of V, 4, and 9 to be a user attempting to get around the censor by replacing an “A” with a “4,” and a “g” with a “9”. In other words: “v,” “a,” and “g”. Need I say more?

Pretty sure that’s not the reason.

I think thats the whole point of wanting the tag in the first place…

If that’s the reason, I can actually blame 343 for something. THANKS FOR MAKING THE WASP AV-49 343! OF ALL THE NUMBERS, YOU CHOSE 49!!!

smh You and your WILD imagination. I’m sure even the developers wouldn’t have figured It out if you gave them a year to.

18

the same thing with me it wont let me change my service tag to GOLD

19

I tried to name a map Twister and the game basically waved a finger at me saying no, no, no. Some things it just won’t allow because reasons.

20

Certain combinations have never been allowed - they’re considered ‘reserved’ (it certainly happened in Halo 3).

Because the AV-49 is the Wasp it was probably reserved for this reason.
