As some of you may know, the Gamertag system has recently changed to allow people to pick names that were previously unique (you also get one free name change now). For example, I chose the name “alfredo” with my name change, but it shows up as “alfredo8073” at the moment. Eventually, it will show up as “alfredo #8073” on the Xbox live interface, but I’m wondering if these changes will appear on Halo. Personally, I think it’d be great if non-unique names would show up without their given numbers, but I understand why some would dislike that.
I would want those extra numbers at the end to show up. Otherwise, imagine a game where there is more than one Alfredo, for example. It would get confusing real quick.
I think it will show up with the numbers otherwise it will be confusing. I’m not a fan of it tbh because it’s not really much different than just using a randomly generated tag with the numbers after it except you’ll have the name you want.
It does this on D2 with blizzard, the only time the numbers show up are when you are trying to add someone otherwise in game it’s just the tag.
