How to pick the right name

Twist something every player knows

Perks, maps, killstreaks and characters make the fastest jokes. Stim Shady works because everyone has used a stim.

Keep it short for the killfeed

Long names get cut off on the scoreboard and in the killfeed. Two or three short words read best.

Keep it clean

Offensive names can be reset or banned under the Call of Duty code of conduct. Clever beats crude every time.

Match your clan tag to your name

A tag like SNAX in front of Snack Break Sniper reads as one joke and makes the whole squad look coordinated.
