Wait, I know what you're thinking. "One more of these?"
I know there's been made threads of this before, but that's mainly to mention other cliches like "X" and "Z" and the newly emerging "zl (nick) lz" as well as numbers and fabled creatures. This is different. Atleast I like to think so. Maybe this procastination thing is getting to my head.
After I got MW2 I've played more on xbox live than ever before. And as a result of that I've noticed a couple of recurring words that kids usually put in their nicks. I'm wondering... is it because these words really cool? Or does the usage include them in some special reference group? Do they even know what the they mean? Why are these so common?
List of words that are increasingly popular on XBL(scientific fact):
Scopes (scopez, skopez, skpz and so on)
Reflex(es) (Re-phlex, ReflexXxXs, R3F13X, (...) )
Quick (Often used in combination of the two previously mentioned words.)
Snipes - I guess the kids primarily uses this in their gamertags as a reference to "Sniping" but I'm not disregarding the possibility of an underlying affection towards the Wesley.
Fusion (FuZiONZzzZZ, and so on)
iTz - Can someone please explain what this is?
There's also weed, but I guess that's been pretty popular for a long time. But still, what? Congratulations? Did you just try weed for the first time and recognise a need to tell everyone about it? Nice, I applaud you, you're probably cooler than the rest of the lobby combined. I bet you even have had sex at some point.
So what words have you noticed that the kids use a lot? I would log in to live and play some, and maybe remember more, but then I'd risk to fail at the next exam.
Most common words in XBL gamertags
This isnt limited to xbox live and alot of it is older than xbox live. People like to name themselves after the "skill" they "think" they have with aiming/shooting/killing. its an e-peen thing.
Anything with the world Kill, Killer, Kills, mixed with a japanese or korean word is basicly the mark of a chump.
Wait..... no, it's ok, not on XBL :P
iTz is everywhere and really annoying but nothing is worse than seeing a sniper reference. There is nobody with a gamertag that mentions sniping that isn't a fucking cunt.
My gamertag is iTz LuchaDeer, but don't worry! I'll be changing it soon enough to natetodamax or somethin
" @natetodamax said::(" My gamertag is iTz LuchaDeer, but don't worry! I'll be changing it soon enough to natetodamax or somethin "You're dead to me. "
:( "It's not too late to make it 'Luchadeer', or 'The Luchadeer', you know ;)
I personally hate Gamertags that are all lower case (eg. gamertag10045) because they look lazy in my eyes. As for names I encounter frequently:
- Limits
- Fusions
- Sniper
- Quick Scope
- No Scope
- Unlimited
- Reflex
And so on. If the word has an 'i' in it, odds are someone has done it with two 'i's instead. Also, iTz stands for two things I'm aware of:
- In the Zone
- It Is
In both situations I feel it looks idiotic, but people will continue to use these sorts of names regardless.
It's worrying to think that some of these people are actual human beings. Personally I've never understood altering between upper case and and lower case like IVI sNiPeZzZ IVI, it makes the person look stupid and chances are the person behind the gamertag is a complete and utter tool, whilst I'm at it I might as well talk about the people who add excessive amount of letters onto their gamertag, why? Can you imagine explaining to someone your gamertag or being on the Xbox helpline "OK so you're gamertag is eLiTe niNjazzzzz with three Z's? Four? Five? Right..."
Don't even get me started on bios, I like to see who I'm playing against through a match so I'll have a quick browse through profiles, it's either displaying how much they like they're football club and even that isn't spelt correctly or it's showing how many nukes they've had, it's like these people want to look like complete idiots. This is why I hate the MW2 community so much, it's such an awesome game when it isn't littered by complete dicks who tell you to shut up when you are forced to speak through in game chat to your friends or children who sing and scream for no reason, what's the point of that? It's not benefiting anybody. Hopefully when Black Ops is released the fools will go on to that so I can enjoy MW2 properly.

Everyone seems to have the word panda in their gamertag.
Not saying its bad but panda seems a tad overused. I mean theres loads of other cool animals.
I mean come on, the Platypus? Lol I have no fetish :P
I cringe when i see people with these things included in their names.
Bloody
Angel
420
Killer
Sniper
Pwner
Ninja
Smoker
Joker/Jester
Clan tags
Skillz
Epic
Birth year
Gangster
Underscores
X's and O's
Full caps or jumbled caps like tHiS
1337 Speak
More then 2 numbers
Only tangentially related, but I hate it when services automatically capitalize the first letter of your name (i.e. Ajamafalous instead of ajamafalous).
