I found out from someone on Live in the lobby of World at War. This is how you can get your Gamer Tag to do those things:
Connect a second controller to your console. On the second controller hit the guide button, create a profile. Enter jd 2020. Done. On the next screen select an
avatar and select done. Sign out. Then sign back in on the same profile.
On your first controller hit your guide button. Sign your first profile out. Then sign back in.
Go into barracks, select clan tag, type in rain.
On the second controller, sign out and disconnect it.
You can use other words for other effects.
move-will make your gt slide from side to side.
cycl-will cycle the rainbow of colors.
rain-will flash each letter a different color.
....-will make a 'o' move from side to side in your clan tag.
Now, in the process, nothing was hacked. It was all done by the steps outlined above. The only thing I see that plays an important role in it is the jd 2020. Only MS and Treyarch know for sure if it indeed is a software hack that allows this. And if so, why hasn't a patch been made for it yet?
But it is until conformed otherwise just a glitch like any other in the game. As far as the Gamer Tags that were reported and nothing done about it, maybe there is no violation being made. As I said before, no hack is done on the users part to get it, no software is being manipulated on the users part. Atleast not from what I see.
We'll just have to wait and see.
This was almost the same way level 65s were getting into BOOT CAMP playlists a year ago.... Cod4 had a simular problem with the game and Microsoft's console's dashboard sign in/sign off profile problem..
Its half Cod's fault... half dashboard problem...
The reason this happens is because Microsoft nor Activision want you to re-boot everytime you log in or off a new profile...
... let me explain... in 2006 Gears of War was released and Sales of Xbox 360s skyrocketed... especially on XMAS day... over a million new Xbox users on Xmas day tried to connect (me included) and Xbox live CRASHED..
problem was that GoW1 had a problem where if you could not connect to live in the game it would boot your profile off... so in essence you could not play the game (with your profile... but you could just make a non-save game and play)..
2007 Xmas wasn't much better.. the Xbox live service crashed yet again... and everyone was given a crappy Arcade game free for their pain..
Anyways I've noticed some games have problems with log ins and log outs of cetain profiles and multiple controllers and such.. and the whole NXE just added an extra layer of security holes to exploit this glitch..
Its not just related to this game... although I think Activision should force a game re-load (not a console re-boot) whenever you change profiles..
Yes.. its true... MY Avatar has no
Torso..
