Banned, I highly doubt it because you're only modding what your gamertag looks like on MW2, you aren't actually modding your gamertag, so I don't think Microsoft could tell that you modded it. I got reported a lot, but I stopped doing it because it really screws with your stats. My multiplayer % was stuck at 291% and my Spec-ops, Campaign %, and gamerscore would reset to 0 if I went on multiplayer. I had to shut off my xbox or sign out for it to return only for it to happen again. It would happen even if I didn't use the modded name.
To prevent this all you have to do is backup your account before you do the gamertag mod, then after you decide not to use it anymore/it gets patched, just replace your xbox account with the backup you made and stuff wont reset to 0 anymore. Also I wouldn't do any campaign, specops, or play another game that you would lose progress on because putting in the backup will erase it all. It DOES NOT set your MW2 rank back though that downloads from the IW server so thats safe.
