(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); so i've been playing call of duty for almost 2 years now, and i still fail to understand people's reasoning for framing their usernames with a million dashes and X's. if you are someone who has a username like this, just wondering why you did it. no offense, but i personally think it looks really silly, like you are making some attempt to appear better than you really are. i mean, why name yourself xx-1337_killer-xx or some other noobish name like that? i would just like to know why you did it or why you think other people do it.

dude why are you proud of copying names? HSx3, DDO, razzel-dazzle, vector_212, none of those are original.

At least I can fight
i added the x's in my name for? actually i have no idea it was kind of a spare of the moment thing. i guess some people do it because it emphasizes whats it the middle.


In my clan however, we wanted everybodys to look the same way so that when we are with 6 of us in the game it looks really nice with all the x's lined up. idc how gay you say it is it looks awesome. my clan name is x-X-AMBsolja-X-x all of the people in this clan follow this format except change what comes after AMB. its a sign of unity. hope that answered ur question

Yes i think it is used to make the name look a bit cooler in a way which i still dont understand either. I think maybe the first couple times it was done it looked a bit cool, and then people just started taking it to far with like 10 X's which is not needed one bit. The dashes i think are used for when names are taken they throw in a dash and its usually available.
