A temporary profile is used in Halo Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4, when players without a profile attempt to play Multiplayer or the Campaign. When a player without a profile signs into a game, he or she will be asked if they would like the use a temporary profile.

Temporary profiles cannot be saved (and cannot earn any achievements). Temporary profiles are issued random usernames, tags, and emblems. Names include "Bozo", "Sausage" and "Caboose".

TriviaEdit

• Rooster Teeth used the temporary profile names to create the names for some of the characters in Red vs. Blue
• If a profile and a temporary profile play splitscreen over Xbox Live, the temporary profile will have the same gamertag as the other profile, with a number added. If, for example, "MyGamertag" plays splitscreen with a temporary profile, the temporary profile will show up as "MyGamertag (1)".
