    Is there any particular reason why I'm seeing so many pairs of players with near-identical names like TomBigKiller and his teammate TomBigKiller(1). I've seen players with similar names as long as I've been playing but in Black Ops I'm seeing this specific trend in every second game.

    It means they're playing splitscreen on the same console
