A Service Tag is a tag that consists of one letter and two numbers, meant to identify soldiers quickly during battle. They show-up when another soldier "sees" you through a wall or if their cross-hair is not pointed directly on you, but they still see you on their current screen. This is used in the Halo 3 Multiplayer.
Advantages
It is good to set your service tag identical to your profile name, so allies can know which of their team-mates are with them. Also, if you cannot directly center a soldier, you are still able to catch their service tag.
Prohibited Service Tags
Some certain service tags are not allowed because they are vulgar, offensive, or copyrighted. Here is a complete list of prohibited service tags.
- A23
- L17
- I17
- E43
- all service tags ending in -00
- id dont think double-zero service tags are prohibited, my service tag on halo 3 is Z00. so that cant be true.
- A01
- A20
- A55
- C17
- E51
- E74
- F43
- F46
- F48
- F49
- I69 (permitted until a patch was released)
- N19
- N34
- N64 -resembles "N64"
- N84
- P51 -resembles "PS1"
- P52 -resembles "PS2"
- P53 -resembles "PS3"
- T17
- U50
- V50
- Z17
Trivia
- When I17 is entered as a service tag it will say "this service tag is currently reserved by the UNSC," likely due to the fact that it resembles John-117's tag.
- Some of the above service tags (I17, for instance) actually can be used. It's pure luck, however, as you may be given that service tag at random when you first play Halo 3 on an Xbox 360 profile.
