Hi Mr Crazy Cactus,

Welcome to Microsoft Xbox Community Forum. I'm happy to help you with your gamertag change concern. Based on what you've shared, it seems that you've encountered some issues with changing your gamertag. Let me ask you a few questions to better understand the situation.



Firstly, have you already purchased the gamertag change? If not, you won't be able to change your gamertag yet. The $10 purchase you mentioned is the fee for changing your gamertag. Once you've made the purchase, you can proceed with changing your gamertag.



Secondly, when you say that your name has a space in it, do you mean that there is a space between your first and last name? If so, that is normal and allowed in gamertags. However, if there are any special characters or inappropriate words in your gamertag, it may not be allowed.

For the concern in using another name aside from your gamertag on a specific game, it would depend on which game is it as there are games that use your Xbox credentials as log in so the gamertag would be used as well. Otherwise, changing your name in a game will not change your Xbox gamertag. Your Xbox gamertag is your unique online identity within the Xbox Live ecosystem. It's the primary way that players will identify you on the Xbox network.

If you want to change your gamertag, you can do so on the web, your Xbox console, and your Windows device. Please note that while your first gamertag change is free, all future gamertag changes require a fee.

Remember, if you change your gamertag, it's reflected across Xbox, and you don't need to tell your friends about the change—their friends lists will be updated automatically.

If you're still having trouble changing your gamertag, here are some possible causes and solutions:

• The gamertag you want may already be taken. Try choosing a different gamertag that is available.
  
• Your account may have a gamertag enforcement in place. This means that you may not be able to change your gamertag for a certain period of time due to a violation of the Xbox Live Code of Conduct. You can check if this is the case by going to your Xbox Enforcement History page.
  
• There may be a technical issue with the Xbox Live service. You can check the Xbox Live Status page to see if there are any known issues: Xbox Status | Xbox Support
  

I hope this information helps! Here are some articles that may be useful to you:

Well I got my first message today asking if I wanted to join an aimbot lobby watever this means lol suppose it has something to do with your aim like a constant auto lock aim or something

I don't really find that many 'bad elements' in CoD. It's pretty proportionate to any other game. Earlier iterations suffer from modding, but that's the developers' fault. And otherwise, if there seem to be a lot of d bags, I would blame it on the fast paced
nature of the game. Death within seconds puts people on edge, compared with something like Halo where it takes a lot longer to score a kill. Tempers can run high in a game like that.

I don't particularly care for it, unless I'm playing with friends. And although I've critisized parts of it before... I don't rip into it every time someone mentions it... maturity goes a long way.

The bigger the population of the game the more likely you will deal with gamers you don't like.

Just like these forums, if they were more popular there would be more negative reactions.

[/quote]If all communities had the same proportion of friendly gamers to racist haters, then the chances of dealing with people you don't like would be the same across all games no matter which has a larger population and which as a smaller. The chances
of getting into a friendly game would be the same. If one particular game population has more instances of encountering people who you don't like then that means there is a greater percentage of the population who is that way.

... OK.

If you think so.

I don't want to break it all down to a science.

When you run a case study, let me know your results.

[/quote]Yep but then the opposite would hold true as well wouldn't? The bigger the population of the game the more likely you are to deal with gamers you like. If one games population is 10,000 and 10% of that is The bad element, then there is a 10%(ignoring
any modifying factors for how many players the game supports) chance of joining a game with one of those people in it

if the population is 1,000,000 if the bad element is still only 10%, then the chances of joining a game with the bad element are still only 10%. If you are getting more negative results, then it is because the negative population is a larger percentage.
