I agree, lol. Some asshole jacked your name. COD4 is not tied to COD5 by any means. In fact, COD4 does not use global servers for your name, so you can change it whenever. Unlike COD4, World at War authenticates a unique name against the master servers, so some shitface stole it.
I doubt it was stolen, more over someone else came up with it for themselves and registered it first. Many times over the years I've had to use a different username somewhere (gaming, forums, etc.) simply because someone else beat me to my preferred name. Sometimes, I've had to go through tons on name choices to find one that wasn't taken that I'd be happy with.
I know how you feel, Sir.
I went to register "Lord British" and couldn't.
Turns out some asshole already registered it...............
Which is a stupid idea and was not at all necessary and they're all idiots for making it a feature of the game.
I actually like that feature.

Why? What does it add? In the past your stats persisted but you were allowed to alter your pseudonym. Now your stats persist, but you're not. How is that anything but a step backwards?

i agree with this, they should have left it alone.
Is the clan tag part of your name? If so, someone in the clan probably got it and it shouldn't be to hard to figure out who. If someone outside the clan got it, what would be the point?
Eh, I know who I am pwning? I do not mind it as I TOOK THE TIME to pick my name out.
Oyyyy....My name (same as here at the [H]) I used to use in all my games. It was simple, but unique and I never had a problem using it unless the game made you use 6 letters in your name......
and then that DAMN movie come out and now it seems I cant go anywhere without someone already having that name or some shmuck being an ass to me thinking I took my name FROM the movie.......DAMN THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!
LOL.....yeah......I admit...they were good movies.....But I still had the name FIRST damnit, heh.
My name was my callsign from wayyyyy back in the Mech 4 days...Id say at least 2000-2001....maybe even earlier. "Serious Ass Whoopin" is what the Aussies would say when they saw me marchin down the hillside in my Daishi....and, Im a woodworker by profession, so the name fit and the name stuck. That movie STOLE my name damn them, hehe.

What, do you keep a list of the nicknames of everyone you've ever played with or against? There are incredible amounts of people playing online games. When I played BF2 and BF2142 I don't think I ever came across the same person twice. I honestly don't actually see how having a name tied to your account makes any sense at all.
